MINERAL
LOCAL PICKUPS
. J. T. Poindexter, of St. Jo, Tex.,
is soon to return to the mountains
to take charge of the two smelters
which will be built.
Talk about nerve, this commodity
was well displayed by Messrs.
Strickler and Home, who weather-
ed the blizzard and drove in from
Meers yesterday.
J. F. Piercy came in from Mount
Sheridan last week, purchased sup-
plies in way of a camping outfit,
and hied himself back to the hills,
there to delve down into the earth
in search of that valuable metal
called gold.
D. F. Brooks, of Cache, was in
the city the first of the week and
made this sanctum a visit. He is
an old western miner, knows a
piece of ore when he sees it, and
is very enthusiastic over the future
of the Wichitas.
Dr. Starbuckand W. T. Garriger,
both of Meers, were callers last
Monday. Mr. Carriger was in the
city to attend a meeting of the
Buckeye Mining Company, and tne
Doctor was in to look after busi-
ness pertaining to mining.
P. V. Dennis came in from Camp
Meers last Saturday, and remained
ever until the middle of the week.
He expects to remain in the moun-
tains indefinitely looking after his
interests, of which he has some as
fine as there are in the mountains.
E. M. Dixon, of Mount Scott.
' was a caller yesterday. He was
just returning from Anadarko,
whither he had been on business
relative to his mining interests, and
it may be depended upon that there
will soon be something doing out
his way.
W. G. Johnston, the pioneer pros-
pector of Meers, made us a cah
last Saturday. He is very much
interested in the Hardin smelter,
and expects to have ore treated
from several of his properties as
soon as possible after the same is
installed and in operation.
Dr. S. J. Hardin and C. H. Mosher
we-e Kingdom visitors last Satur-
day. The Doctor came in to attend
the annual meeting of the Big Four
Company, and Mr. Mosher on busi-
ness relating to mining. They are
both exerting every energy they
possess toward the development
of the Wichitas, and are no small
factor in their locality.
L. Howard Lee, of Oklahoma
City, came in last Monday to be
. present at the annual meet:ng of
the Martin Mining Company. This
company h^ve some fine properties
a short distance west of Mount
Sheridan, and with development
commenced as we understand it
soon will be, mines paying dividends
equal to those of the best districts
will be developed.
The job Jvork department of this
office is not to be excelled in this
part of Oklahoma. For neatness
and taste we defy competition, and
cur prices are always right,
with the quality of work taken into
consideration. We now have a tel-
ephone, No. 359, and will be glad
to call at any place in the city of
Lawton and tell you what we can
do. Try us once and we will always
do your job work.
Eugene Deacon, of Temple, Okla.
came up last Tuesday to attend
the meeting of the Martin Gom-
pany, and made the Kingdom a call.
Mr. Deacon is a merchant at Tem-
! pie, doing a good business, is well
satisfied with his location, but
has not for a moment lost sight of
his mining interests in the Wichita
Mountains. He has some fine min
ing interests, and we trust that he
will soon realize something from
the same.
The Big Four Company held a
business meeting last Saturday
night in this city, but what the na-
ture of the business transacted was
wedidnotlearn. This company was
one of the first in the mountains
to develop what they thought was
and proved to be paying values, but
eventually laid down, quit work
and were only'revived by the smel-
ter excitement. We sincerely hope
they will do sufficient work at this
time to uncover valuable ore which
we are certain they have.
Prof. E. M. Tucker, the veteran
assayer and mining engineer of the
Wichitas, is expected back to the
mountains in the not distant future.
This-man knows more of the for-
mations of the Wichita Mountains,
and has experimented more with
them than any other living man to-
day. He has gone to his laboratory
and worked out problems that the
average chemist would not have
undertaken, and has been able to
show to those who cared to inves-
tigate, the fact that he knew his
business strictly, and could demon-
strate the fact.
