putting in these pumps was completed
the mines were drained of water and
work in the mines was again resumed.
This time it was agreed to abandon
the incline and sink the main shaft
from three hundred and twenty foot
level to point low enough TO be on a
level with the bottom of incline, and
the old workings. which would be about
three hundred and fifty feet deep.
This being accomplished. and a drift
driven towards the old workings about
forty-five feet, pump house was made
and two large pumps erected.
The company concluded to sink the
stump to the depth of IS feet, it being
at that time ten feet deep. At that
depth. aud before sinking commenced,
drill-hole was put down to the depth
of eight feet, in which water was again
encountered and the hole plugged up.
Knowing that this water was below,
the company insisted on sinking this
stump, and of course when the depth
of eighteen feet was reached water
again poured into the mine. 1 will
state here that this water is eighteen
feet below the ore bed at this point in
the mine.
1t was expected that either one of
the two pumps that stood in the pump
house would handle this water and
could have easily done so had they
been tested before they were needed.
Through this neglect and when they
were needed it was found that neither
of these pumps would pump any wa
ter; in fact, they did not pump one
hundred gallons from the time water
was encountered until they became
useless. Here were two pumps on a
level with the drift-the only opening
there was to contain the water; as a
natural consequence, in a few hours
these pumps were lost. Any one of
them will keep this part of the mine
free of water. In fact this mine does
not produce more water than will be
needed to supply the reduction works.
1t is plain what caused the second
and last suspension at this mine. Here
we have a very rich and valuable lead
mine which contains large and well de-
fiued disseminated lead ore deposits
which will produce in concentrates
from sixty to seventy-five per cent. of
lead. These deposits range in thick
ness from ten to twenty feet in places,
in lower portion of ore bed almost
solid galena. That this mine is a val
liable one there is no doubt. With its
rich and well defined ore deposits and
equipped with improved machinery,
also it's facilities for mining and hand
ling it's product, it will prove to be a
source of large income to its owners.

Ed. Reglster-The fact that there
has been a fall in the temperature OF
forty degrees, makes coats and vests
very necessary to our comfort these
days.
Farmers are busily engaged in har-
vesting oats and hay. Corn, though
needing raid, is looking fairly well,
and should we get sufficient rain
through July and August. the yield of
corn will be much Bbove the average.
1t is said that few persons out here
have been already offering to engage
their present crop at twenty-five cents
per bushel.
The wheat crop out here was nearly
a failure.
Blackberries are very plentiful.
while there are not any whortleberries.
Cattle on the range are fat and ready
for sale, but it appears that most peo-
pie who have cattle. prefer to hold
them till later. A buyer from Dent
county was in this locality recently,
and offered from sixteen to twenty dol
lars for two-year old steers.

do his duty, and see if Burgundy can
not have a good school. Mr.. b. will,

because the writer of said card, through

Flat River Lead Mine.

Str-The heading of this article is
the name given to what is known 10.
caly as Taylor mine, located in the
Flat River disseminated lead district
of st. Francois county. This mine
was developed by Judge w. r. Taylor,
of Pennington, the county seat of the
above county.
The Mississippi River and Bonnie
Terre railroad runs through it. A
station known as Taylor plnce is To-
Gated at the mines, distance from st.
Louis seventy miles. Here we find
everything at a standstill, and any
one, especially investors, who visit the
mine would ask why this mine is not
in operation. 1t is easy for anyone
knowing the condition of affairs to
answer the above question.
This is what / intend to do as nearly
as possible by giving the reason for
this company's failure; also, the value
of the property. 1t is we'll known that
the Taylor mine is a valuable one.
There is shaft to the depth of three
hundred and fifty feet. At the depth
of three hundred and twenty feet an
lead ore deposits. After considerable
work had been done it was found that
the main ore bed was still below this
point. In order to reach it an incline
shaft was sunk to the depth of about
three hundred feet, at an angle OF
about twenty-five degrees to the north.
At the top or head of incline a hoist
| ing engine was erected to hoist the
ore and rock out of the mine to the
top of the incline. Then the cars were
placed on the cage and sent to the re-
duction works. While this develop
ment was being made water was en-
countered in the foot wall, or below
the ore deposit, which caused the
company a good deal of trouble and
expense, compelling them to erect q
large pump at the foot of this incline
and pump the water to head of incline
to another pump, the latter pumping
it to the surface. With the exhaust
steam from these pumps and engine il
made il impossible for the workmeE to
stay in the mine, as the heat was SO
intense that sometimes the men coald
not stand in this hot atmosphere over
twenty minutes.
Il is plain to see the reason for the
first suspension. which lasted for some
time. Finally, the company conclud-
ed to put down two twelve-inch bore
holes from surface to reach the open
ings below. This being accomplished.

er the openings. After the work OF

THE editor of the Clayton Argus
doesn't altogether fancy ''the way the
world moves" in his town and county.
In last weeks paper he says:
In many respects this little town OF
Clayton Is a peculiar one. 1t Is owned
and inhabited by peculiar people.
They believe in social distinctions.
They are strong in their prejudices
and the majority are firmly bound to-
gether by political ties. None of this
set can do any wrong for which excus-
es are not readily found. 1t has beer
CAMPERS and anti-beer Gamers. 1t has
church people and anti-church people,
all of whom profess to be Christians.
More genuine jealousy among business
men exists here than in any other town
il Missouri. If republican patron
ICES democratic house, he is ostra-
cised. and if democrat enters a re-
publican house, he is called a traitor
to his party. The town is peculiar in
that it is controlled absolutely by a
ring which attempts to dictate the ac-
tions of individuals. 1t is peculiar in
that it has three fourishing saloons,
three newspapers, three real estate
men. twice three lawyers, three stores,
and is the only place north of Mason
and Dixon's line which has a negro
postmaster. 1t will never be any
thing but peculiar till it, with the rich
and prosperous county all around it,
throws off blind, ignorant subserviency
to boss rule.

THIS from the Piedmont Kramer does
not seem to indicate that the lumber
business is in a flourishing condition.:
1.-The mill at Leeper is shut down this
week, and when the drive that is now
coming down Black river is cut the
mill will shut down Indefinitely. They
are not putting any logs on the road,
and in fact, have sold a good number
of their teams. This indicates very
plainly that they want to shut down
until they can get rid of their heavy
stock of lumber now on the yards. In
the month of May the excess of the cut
over the sales amounted to 1900 900
feet. 1t seems like prosperity is about
to knock them out. And yet there are
dozens of men there who were beguild-
ed into voting for Mckinley under the
promise of steady work for the next
four years."

REFERRING to an item published in
this paper two or three weeks ago,
wherein we said that the prices paid
for lumber were less than a year ago,
prices were scarce and hard to secure,
gentle Willie of the De Soto Facts pi-
ously calculates:
Allow us, Mr.. AXE, to call you down
again? You know that the above is
false and that you only publish such
rot to deceive the people who read
your paper. We will leave it to the
lumbermen themselves, and if they
don't bear US out in the statement that
they are selling more lumber this year
than last and receiving better prices
for ii we will acknowledge that you
are correct and never again question
your statements.
We beg to call Willie's attention to
''Isaac's" letter in this issue. He is
an old lumberman, known to every
body in this section. His post-office
address is Des Arc, Mo. His remarks,
though pertinent and remarkably pat,
are unsolicited, and voiced of his own
free will and accord. He knows moth
ing of this discussion:
The sawmilis down in this section
are all idle for want of orders. Ihave
been in the sawmill business so years
and have never seen lumber so low as
it is now. Last June, 1896, J. NJ.
Morris shipped over one million feet
of lumber. This June it did not reach
one hundred thousand. This station
shipped over one hundred ears last
June, 1896. This June about ten cars.
This does not look like prosperity.

Mrs. Wheatcroft has arranged with
Theodore Burt Sayre to present two ro-

Another novelty, though of a different
kind, will be the great musical act OF
Weston and Herbert. This team is well
known to the patrons of the theater as
they have appeared here once before,
some sixteen months ago. They have,
however, made distinct change in their
comedy and introduce some new musical
instruments in their act, so that while
their faces will be remembered, their
work will be comparatively new. The
