ZINC In BATES COUNTY.
A Rich Vein Struck in Deep Water
Township.

L. Nj. kretzinger of Deepwater
township, brought to our office fine
specimen of zinc ore taken from the
vein recently discovered on the Van
kretzinger farm about three miles
east OF Spruce post office. 1t was
found in coal bank, fourteen feet
under ground and the vein was from
Is inches to two feet thick This ore
has been examined by old miners and
pronounced rich. 1t is believed that
the vein brOadens out as it goes
down and those who ought to know
pronounce it a very fine prospect for
rich mining. We hope that this will
prove true and it will be found in
that neighborhood in sufficient guam
titles to make them all rich We I'M
derstand it is the intention of these
gentlemen to thoroughly prospect
the find. Mr.. kretzinger said that
he heard that zinc had also been
struck on John Jackson's farm. one
quarter of mile east of Spruce, but
at what depth he was unable to
learn. He will send a sample of the
ore to the state university at Column
bia to have tested.

by the cars of the City and Suburban line,
operated on that street When the munich
pal authorities answered the first protest

all the cars except one, and the machinery
does not thump or cause any annoyance.
