borrowing and Lending.

The question of borrowing and
lending, and it's propriety, can he
answered easily by ono who will take
n few minutes time, If necessary, to
consider it's Justice. In the first
place, some one needs an article for
his own use and convenience, and
possesses himself OF the same by pur-
chase or cost, that when he needs 1t,
he has it's use convenient for his
special use, and the satisfaction to
know that by its use, he husbands
economy and it is not imposing
either ON consistency, or anothcr's
generosity.
So much for the one who provides
himself. On the other hand the one
who borrows imposes either on the
other party by taking advantage OF
his generosity without compensation
and accomplishing by means OF that
borrowed what would otherwise cost
him an outlay OF money, but the
trouble does not end here, for often
things lent arc not always returned
either the worse for use or damaged
and the under is the loser, and be-
comes disguised with his own kindness
and the ungratcfulcns of the person
he accommodated.
Why should any one without recon-
pense, furnish accommodation for the
public ut his own cost Say, be
honest, and II you need something to

industry which has largely built up
the city of LaSalle, H., and inciden-
tally similar plant which has per-
formed like service for Peru, the
adjoining city. The first zinc ores In
this state was gathered at Highland,
Wis, in the early '60s In the form OF
waste in the old lead mines. They
were hauled to Mineral Point with OK
teams and sold at from ~ TO 70 per
ton. When Mr. Kennedy came home
in "a he found that his brother, Tom,
had piled up sixty-fve tons OF what
Richard esteemed as worthless refuse,
which he had gathered from surround
ing farmswith the consent OF the own
ers and without cost. The product
was sold for SO per ton, although zinc
was then 10 cents per pound, or $32C
per ton. Richard Kennedy has been
Interested in the business since then
with the exception of but few years.
For nearly twenty years he says he
worked principally for existence,
owing mostly to want of capital, but
for the next ten years there was not a
day that his mine did not yield rs
good az 300. The Highland mine is
not yet worked out, and he asserts
that he does not hope to live to see
the time when II can be exhausted.
"1'here IL land enough on the lead
ranges OF Grant, Lafayette and Iowa
countless" concluded Mr.. Kennedy,
"to take all the people from Joplin
and guarantee nearly everyone that
he will be going down on n well de-
fined lode instead OF pocket OF ore. y
The writer of the letter in question
refers to the increasing confidence in
the undcveloped resources OF the lead
and zinc region, and says:
THAT confidence In the zinc future
OF this region IL not confined to n few
lucky miners Is further evidenced Mt
Mineral Point where the Jones Bros
branch OF the smelling combine Is
building an acid plant and increasing
the yearly capacity OF works to about
~, 900 tons OF zinc ore, nearly doub-
ling the capacity OF the plant"
The extensive additions and i'm
provements to the zinc works In this
city show that for years to come the
miners Of southwest Wisconsin will
have market right ut home for their
ores. Without this market there are
thousands upon thousands Of tons Of
low grade ores that would not pay
for the handling. The works here are
very extensive indeed, and everything
about the plant and It's management,
indicates permancncy, Increased
growth and prosperity.

Free silver has had It's day, just as

in it's support is inviting disaster.
There Is no longer any fear that free

of n number of men who have greatly
aided the development of our mines.
