There is boom in zinc-minine in In
diana. As long ago as forty years a
German resident of Carroll County, who
had worked in the mines of the old
country, found evidences of the mineral
on Rock Creek, but failed to interest
anybody in his discovery. About 1000
acres OF land in the vicinity of the creek
have been leased recently by company
that expects to make great deal Of
money out of deposits of zinc that an.
pear to be present in the soil. The
second discoverer of the treasure was
one of those rowing fellows who are
eternally scratching the hills for ssspeci.
MEMS" An analysis of some of the rock
found by him on the bank of the creek
showed traces Of zinc, and, more forum.
ate than the original prospector, be in
duced capitalists to make an investiQa.
ton. which proved to be satisfactory.
Shafts have been sunk on the land. Ex.
perts pronounce the deposits unusually
rich in zinc, and Rock Creek may yet
become famous. There seems to be no
reason why the mineral should not be
mined in Indiana, for the adjoining
State Of Missouri is quite rich in zinc
strata.
