The ZINC Ore Rnnm.

Zinc ore has taken another Jump,
advancing from $50 to $33 per ton,
coming within 81 of the highest price
on record. Never since the discovery
of zinc in southwest Missouri have the
prices of this ore continued at such
figures as for the past month, rang
ing, as they have, from $50 to $34 per
ton for ore in the bin. The presnt adj
vance is attributed to the increasing
demands for zinc ore, which cause
sharp competition among buyers for
the various smelters. The high prices
maintained give a great stimulus to
mining, the profits of which are so
largely increased. New mines are be-
ing opened all over the district, and
many old abandoned mines are again
being worked.

An ample supply of brick and pipe clay
Is also found there.

site will save the state in transpor ia ton
enough in a few years to pay for the site
which Is offered at $4,000
The Southern Railway agrees to bridge
