LOCAL PICKUPS
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦ >♦♦♦♦<
Peter Dukes, from rear Cache,
was a visitor last Saturday evening,
returning home Sunday morning.
He transported a party of campers
to town who have been camping
in his locality the past week.
The job department of this office
is now better equipped for turning
out first-class work, and neat artis-
tic printing is our hobby. Let us
show you what we can do in this
line, and you will become a regular
customer.
J. W. Jones, of Waurika, made
this office a call this week. Mr.
Jones has property on the same
vein as the Lion lode at Wildman
and about 2 miles distant from it.
He expects to soon commence de-
velopment work on this property.
W. 0. Allen came in from Meers
Monday of this week. Mr. Allen
has recently completed a one-ton
cyanide test with the exception of
running down the zinc shavings,
and this will be accomplished in the
near future. Assayer Gullett is
doing the work.
Dutch Bill was in the city last
week purchasingthe necessary tools
and supplies with which to resume
work on one of his properties. Bill
exhibited some nice specimens
taken from his claims, and he cer-
tainly is firm in his belief that he
has a paying proposition.
S. lies, an old prospector of the
mountains, spent several days in
the hills last week and returned to
his home in Kansas City last Mon-
day. Mr. lies is more enthusiastic
than ever over the prospects, and
expects to soon return to the moun-
tains to remain permanently.
Mr. Wells, a miner from near
Indianoma, was in the city last Mon-
day. He tells us that development
work is going forward in his locality
aiid while they now have pay ma-
terial, they expect to soon be able
to show ore the values of which
will startle the entire mountains.
J. L. Power, of Joplin, Mo., came
in last Wednesday and left for the
mountains the following day. John
as he is familiarly known, has had
no small part in establishing the
fact with the outside world that the
Wichita Mountains contain valua-
ble mineral and he has demonstrat-
ed to his utmost satisfaction that
such is the case.
Geo. H. Jocelyn and C. G. Gullett
were in from Camp Homestead last
Saturday. They have just com-
pleted an assay furnace, and the
smelter construction is to commence
some time this week. This plant
will be pushed to completion as
soon as possible, and it is thought
that it will be ready to be blown in
within the next sixty days.
W. H. Mulherin, a minerand pros-
pector living near Springfield, left
last Wednesday for Kissinger, Mo.,
his old home. Some six months
ago Mr. Mulherin received an in-
jury to his knee, of which little was
thought at the tifne, but it has grad-
ually grown y&rse, until he decided
to go eas.f' for treatment. The
length of time he will stay is very
indefinite.
B. H. Peveler, an old miner and
mineralogist from Montana, is now
in our midst and expects to look
over our mineral interest. He
claims to be a graduate from a
westernschoolof mines, and in addi-
tion a long experience in mining in
the west, and thinks he knows
mineral indications when he sees
them. He is now in the mountains
making a through investigation, and
if the same proves satisfactory he
will probably secure some property
and develop the same.
Mining is beginning to look up in
the vicinity of Mt. Sheridan, and
several properties have started or
are about to start substantial devel-
opment work. Work has been re-
sumed on the Fannie May, Ken-
tucky, Mountain Boomer, Silver
Hill, and several other well-known
properties. The test smelter at
Meers is soon to be rebuilt with A1
fire brick, and when it is considered
that this is all being done without
capital, comparatively speaking,
the miners certainly deserve a great
amount of credit.
The camp of the O. O. Milliken
Mining & Developing Association
was nearly washed away recently,
the loss being about $50. It seems
the men who were working for the
company had retired for the night
and had fallen asleep. They were
awakened by the rushing of water
and getting up, barely got out them-
selves, not being able to save but
little of their provision and bedding.
The tent was quite badly damaged
but was not entirely washed away.
This camp was located on a tribu-
tory of Medicine Creek, and as all
mountain streams have sufficient
fall to make them rise very rapidly,
this flood came upon these men al-
most unawares. This will not stop
the work of the company in the
least. They have another camping
outfit on the ground and are going
down into the earth as usual.
