manufacture of brick. Four miles
south of this point is found the miner.
al belt where immense deposits of lead
have been found, none of which have
been worked to any degree beyond
the taking out of a few tons of float
mineral by citizens who find it the
easiest way to pay for sack of -four,
a little sugar or some other temporary
need when their cash was low. West
of Coal Camp and directly upon the
railroad lies another mineral belt well
supplied with lead, timber, fire brick
and pottery clay, while just north of
this deposit is found rich coal beds as
yet almost unmolested. At other
points easily reached from Cole Camp
are found lead, copper, zinc, iron,
coal, linn stone, marble, granite, fire
brick and potterS clays, yellow Ochre
and red ochre all in
IMMENSE QUANTITIES,
the last named red ochre being a new
and undoubtedly very valuable article
peculiar to this section as it consists of
bright carmine red, of a soft oily
nature, free from grit and readily solu-
BILE in oil. Wherever it has been test
ed it has been pronounced one Of the
best red paints ever produced. At
present these wonderful facilities are
exciting considerable of inquiry and it
is but a question of brief time when
capital will begin their vigorous deve-
lopment, and Cole Camp will
assume the growth and Importance
in the great industrial fields
which they demand she should.
Indeed she has already entered upon
this progress, as is evinced by the
many new faces daily arriving and
the general stir among her people and
their demand for higher social scale
than in the past. At the present
time, as has been stated, not only has
her saloons been deserted, but they
have dwindled down to a single one,
which is making a hard fight for ex-
istence. The temperance sentiment
has closed all the others and rendered
it questionable whether a license can
be procured for the remaining one or
not. An"ther thing which gives
force to their energy is the prospect
of the building of the ST. Louis and
Colorado railroad, which has been sur
veyed through the town and will
doubtless soon be built.
To Sedalia Cole Camp offers one of
the most convenient and beautiful SUBJ
urban adjuncts possible to conceive
of, and it is merely question of time
when the Weather portion of that
progressive city will establish here
HANDSOME COUNTRY RESIDENCES
with beautiful lawns, yards and gar
dens, for which purpose one of the
handsOmest southern slopes magma
bic lies along the north side of the
narrow gauge road adjoining the towp,
and which is as yet titled for farm
products, and can be bought in acre
lots or less at very nominal price
With the advantage of the narrow
gauge road this offers an opportunity
for cheap suburban homes, easily &C
cessible morning and evening, which
the pleasures of country air, country
products and rural luxuries must soon
induce the inhabitants of the great
metropolis 30 avail themselves of. both
as q sanitary and economic measure.
In view of all these facts, your cor
respondent, as a disinterested way
farer, feels justified in saying that the
most sanguine expectations of the
good people of Cole Camp are likely
to be more than fully realized at no
distant day.
THE TEMPERANCE WAR
continues to be waged at this place
with undated fervor and warmth.
Tomorrow township meeting of the
temperance people will be held at Mt.
Olivet church for the purpose of per-
fecting organized effort to prevent the
granting of any saloon license in the
township.
A good deal of feeling has sprung
up here over the bad management of
the county sheriff's Office under the
control of Sheriff Newell and his dep
uty Bob Bib. Newell for some me
has been drinking very hard and Bibb
has virtually controlled the office and
worst of all is accused of having peck
eted all the fees and costs that come
into his possession. The matter came
up at the last term of court and re-
suited in Bib being deposed. New
ellis securities then notified him that
unless he turned over the office to
Joe Hays they would cancel his 5ond,
this step being deemed necessary by
them because Newell is copstantlv
