AS the wolf was crowding me prett!
close at home, thought trip to Min
| eral Point would throw Mr.. Wolf OF
the track for while, and give me +;
little breathing spell. At Mineral
Point mot Mr.. B. Fox who invited m.
! to look at his lead mines about half /,
mile from this place (Mineral Point)
So, grip in hand, l followed him tt
where found some eight or ten mer
at work IN ditch some twelve fee1
wide, five or six feet deep, and about
seventy-five yards long.
"Hello, Fox, used to think men
mined under ground, not on top as
you are doing here.''
''Hold on, my good fellow, will ex.
plain how it is. This ditch is just a
feeler; do you see that vein of fine
galena ore? There. my good fellow,
please wash off that ore there, so this
gentleman can see the ore more
plainly"
Sure enough, there it was, bright as
silver and about the size of barrel
head, running a northeasterly direction.
''See here, my friend, this is not all
the ore veins visible in this ditch, as
you call it, see?"
Sure enough. counted six veins of
various sizes; of course, / cannot tell
how far these veins run, but if it is as
good as it looks, Mr.. F. is surely rich
man in prospects.
"Well, Mr.. Fox, is this all you have
to showP if not, please trot it out"
sJust come over this hill about a
quarter of a mile. and l will show you
one of the best prospects you ever saw. ="
Here goes Mr.. Fox taking the lead,
putting up the little hill like our push
er up Tip Top. When we arrived at
the last prospect, found shaft about
sixteen feet deep, and I remarked to
Mr.. Fox that it looked more like min
ing; always considered a hole in the
ground mine of some kind, but this
hole, it seems to me "a novice in min
ing) to be of great value, as the lead
and rock begin about eight feet below
the surface of the ground and from
there on down it shines with lead ore
glistens.
did not go down in the shaft, but it
looks as if it were about half lead mix
ed with rock. I shouldn't wonder, if
it didn't turn to disseminated ore a
little further down.
The miners informed me that there
was cave in the bottom of the shaft
covered all over with lead
ore-this, surely, is the best lead pros
pect ever saw in Washington county
or even in the Flat River county, which
I visited last Summer.
don't see why men of wealth pass
Southeast Missouri by; there is not
much wealth on top of the ground,
but under it. are untold riches.
After a thorough inspection of the
Norton and Fox Lead Mines, by invi-
tation of Mr.. Fox, made my way to
Mr.. Waldon's, where 1 partook of
hearty supper, after which, I enjoyed
an hours chat with Mr.. Walden and
several old maids about free silver and
free trade. By the way, in case, I
should ever want better half, this is
my place.
Well, it is train time, perhaps the
wolf is scared from my door by this
time-good-bye! May these mines
prove fortune to Messrs. Fox and
Norton, is the wish of UNCLE PETE.
