No mans work, is a failure unless

Creeping Up the stairs.

In the softly falling twilight
or q weary, weary day,
With quiet step l entered
Where the children were at play;
/ WIS brooding DER some trouble
Which Ind me unawares,
When little voice came ringing,
"Me Is creepin' up the stairs"
Step by step she bravely clambered
On her little hands and knees,
Keeping up a constant chattering
Like magpie in the trees,
TIL at last she reached the topmost,
When DER all her worlds affairs
She delighted stood a victor,
After creeping up the stairs.
Fninting heart behold an Image
or mans brief and struggling life,
Whose best prizes must be captured
With noble. eanest strife.
Far above there IL the glory
Which no sinfulness impairs,
With its rest and Joy forever.
Alter creeping up life's stairs.

Mining in Southwest Missouri.

Mining in Southwest Missouri.
A special edition of the Joplin
Morning Hearld contains the follow
ing in regard to the mines of south
west Missouri:
1.-THE first lead mined in Southwest
Missouri is said to have been opened
in 1849 by William Ingle of I.eadville,
two miles east of Joplin. The first
discovery Of lead within the limits of
Joplin is said to have been made by
Daniel Cambell in 1S49. Two years
later the mineral was discovered at
Orongo. AS the lead mines were de-
veloped down to the depth from IS to
40 feet, the miners found large depos-
its of foreign matter oftentimes in
termingled with the lead. Owing to
the resin appearance of this stuff it
was given the name of resin tiff.
Sometimes it would have coal black
lustre, and it was then called black
jack. This stuff was the curse of the
miner, and many lead mines were
abandoned on account of it. New
prospects were continually opened up
on Joplin and the Turkey creek, but
the resin tiff was always to be found.
In July, 1874, Messrs. Ed. Porter and
Patrick Murphy determined to ship a
car load of resin tiff to Mattheson &
Hegler's zinc works at La Sale, ILL.,,
and have it tested in order to ascer-
tain whether it had any commercial
value. The smelter showed a net re-
turn of SIS for the car load, and dis
closed that the tiff was a high grade of
zinc ore. Buyers came to Joplin and
purchased the tiff ore at from So to SIS
a ton, and the miners commenced to
save it. The demand increased as the
mines and the grade of the ore became
known, and prices advanced to 81 and
IS per ton. Soon $12 was paid and
then SIS. The miners then COM
menced operating for zinc, and aban-
doned lead mines were reopened for
the zinc ore they contained. The
zinc industry has since constantly
grown in Importance until now jack is
selling for $24 90 per ton.

Crushed in a Mine.

Montfort Monitor.
Mr.. James jenkins, of Mff1in, met
horrible death while working in his
mine on Tuesday. Mr.. Wilkinson,

a big rock gave way and falling
chrused him under it. Mr. Wilkinson
was knocked senseless; but how long
he remained so he is unable TO say,
but on regaining consciousness he
climbed out of the shaft and gave the
alarm. 1t took five men to raise the
rock from the body of Mr.. Jenkins.
Death was probably instantaneous, the
left side and forehead being crushed;
several deep gashes cut in the back of
his head and his right leg broken.
Deceased leaves a wife and two young
children, besides a host of other
friends to mourn his sudden death.
Mr.. Wilkinson is quite severely injur-
ed but careful treatment will soon put
him on his feet again.
