Newton and associates have made a cleaning in a mining deal recently in the Waco Missouri camp. They sold a lease which they had held but a short time for $32,000, and came out with $5,500 each to the good. Thus the young men and old, are laying the foundations for a fortune in these flush times of mining prosperity. The more that can be centered in Miami Oklahoma, the better and every big strike or deal that's made sends a thrill through the soul of the town.
