Big Mining Deal

A. BIasingame < Son of Green Forest have bought a half inter- es1'n George ". Gossage's farm of 84 acres four miles west of Berry vile. at 8 consideration of $4,000, The deal was consumatod last Thursday.
 There has been four small open ings made on thls place and an essay ot the mineral taken out proves to be one of the highest grades of zinc yet discovered in this country. II rates 6f l-4 per cent pure metallic zine. This IS within 2 per cent of the best grade yet found at Joplin.
 In one opening only 15 feet deep they have gone through five feet ot ore, and still ;here is no sign of stopping, In fact, so far the deeper they go, the potter the grade of ore.
 Blasingame & Son have already refused an offer ot S4, 900 for ono- half of their interest. These gentlemen, who claim to know a good thing when they see it, be. lievo they have struck it rich in this deal and, and propose to de- relop 1t for what there is in it, as they have yet their first failuro to make at anything.

4 Visit to Osage.

A TRIBUNE scribe made a little ''sasba" up Osage last week with a llttle business aud pleasure mix. ed, having chartered seat on Lee Ledgcrwood's machine wagon. Mr. l.. sells the Davis Vertical Feed Machine. In order to be protected from any possible harm from English sparrows, and the like, we armed ourselves with a 22-Wiuch ester, and the game we didn't kill was simp y appalling.
 We spent Thursday night with q gentleman whose name we are glad We have forgotten, for he is a man who does not read neWspa- pers, nor could he be induced to do better.
 Friday noon found us at the hospitable home of Price Walker, who owns one of the finest farms on the creek. Price knows a good thing when hesee it, and it is needless to say we supplied him with both machine and paper.
 Giving Mr. gent Inc shake Friday afternoon, the scribe found his way to Fairview, where we s'hung up" tor the night at the home ot our particular friend, W. $. Hltson
 General Prosperity seems to be present in that thriving little burg. rhe principal business of the place is now owned by w. E.

This store would be q credit 10 a large town.
 " hlie there we enrolled the following new readers; T. A. PuIIen, the popular miller; Prof. John McLoad, and ". NJ. Burkett, and 1t didn't consume mach time, either.

Green Forest must have another school building. Every day adds argumento the fact that our present school house facilities are not nearly equal 10 the demand. With the continuous increase in population, another year vii! re- quire double our present accomo- dations, As the building we have is not frst-clasS. aud as it is not in a desireable location for school purposes, therefore THE TRIBUNE thinks it would be the best policy tor the Board to look ont for 8 more desirable site, and that new building be commenced, such an one as could be easily built to, and in time the old site could be sold and 8 large, handsome school building be completed We have not suggested this matter as 6 mere speculation, or to fill space, but the question is really one of the moment, and should have the foret hought ol every patron in the district. Green Forest has learned to boast of her school ana nothing should be Ieftnndone that would impede it's progress. Our people should thoroughly discuss tbe situ ation in order that the proper steps can be taken at the earliest possible moment.
