HAYSEED MINE LEASED.
(five miles northwest from Carthage)
Aaron Myers Takes it and Will Begin Operating it at Once.
A lease of the famous Hayseed mine was made yesterday by the owners, V. A. Wallace and Henry Tangner. The lessee is Aaron Myers. He is alone in the lease but expects to organize a company to operate it. He gets 80 acres of land along with the mine and has bought the mill and all machinery connected with it, and the shaft for $2,000. The terms of the lease are 12½ per cent royalty on all mineral taken out for a space 800 feet square, of which the mine is the center. The rest of the 80 acres goes for 10 per cent royalty. Mr. Myers also agrees to do at least 600 feet of drilling each year in further prospecting the lease.
There is great faith in the Hayseed property, and it is considered purely the result of a mismanagement of the eastern parties who have been recently handling it that allowed their company to go to the wall.
Mr. Myers is experienced in mining and an enterprising man and it is expected that the Hayseed will speedily be adding a creditable record to those mines which are making a good reputation for this immediate vicinity as a mining center. Operations are to begin at once.
This deal still leaves 80 acres in possession of Messrs Wallace and Tangner to lease or not as they choose. The surface of nearly the whole 160 acres will of course be put in cultivation in any event, as the mineral leases only carry with them the right to extract the mineral.
~ Removed from Carthage to Kansas City, Jackson county, Missouri around 1903.
~ A news story one quarter of a century later, 3 SEP 1927:
B L Van Hoose has purchased the old Hayseed tract of eighty acres, located northwest of here. The property formerly was owned by several estates. He also owns the Mignonette eighty acres adjoining the Hayseed.
