Former Kansas Prairie Is Being Turned Into Great Field of Zinc
Modern Klondike Is East of Galena and May Extend Across Cherokee County
What was a few years ago an ordinary rolling prairie of Kansas is rapidly being turned into one of the great zinc fields of the world. It is a modern Klondike field. It lies just off of Miami, Oklah, and east of Galsbanks. It is extending across Cherokee County, past Lawton, and up to Waco, Mo.
The largest mining companies in the country have from 20,000 to 30,000 acres under lease in Cherokee county. Seventy of these companies have 1,500 chain drills prospecting. Another group has proven out by drilling. Several of these drills are in Kansas. "The Blue Mound Vinegar Hill Barr Mine and the Coronet are operating on the Kansas side of the line. The Naylor Valley land section around Waco are particularly promising for Kansas.
This is having a marked effect on the milling and mining methods in and around Joplin. It has resulted in the introduction of modern machinery and modern methods. Emphasis is being placed upon laboratory tests and upon the employment of graduates of technical schools.
This new field will mean the addition of millions of dollars to the mineral output of the state within five years.
Prof. Arthur G. Terrill spent five weeks there last summer doing field work for the Kansas State Geological Survey. He brought back boxes containing more than 200 specimens of ore and associated minerals. Some of these were in rare combination and crystal form.
The specimens are valuable for exchange purposes. Dr. W. P. Moore, the new professor of mineralogy, has arranged exchanges with Harvard and other schools. The general superintendent of the Nuevo Dino Mine of Lincolville, Okla., visited Professor Terrill last Monday and told him he was saving more specimens from the mine for the University.
The object of the work of Professor Terrill in gathering these specimens is to afford material for the publication of a preliminary bulletin on the lead and zinc deposits of Kansas.
Ignorance or Adventure?
By the Way
irglenance or Adventure?
Yes. It is true! It seems that one of the Kappas, an upperclassman at that, was the women's cloakroom of Spooner Library, engaged in the practice of powdering her nose, when in walked a man, he calmly hung his hat on a hook, turned back on the astonished girl, and walked out.
As a consequence we have now added to the lists of "donts" for Freshmen. But perhaps it wasn't a Freshman, it may have been an upperclassman in search of adventure.

To Decide Military Drill Tuesday
Whether there is to be compulsory military drill at the University this year will be decided at the next meeting of the University Senate, Tuesday afternoon. As the matter stands, should he have the medical students should have the medical students seem doubtful if credit will be given. Military drill every day probably will be required of all students.
