A private letter from Leadville, Colo, states that George M. Wheaton. erst- while citizen of Mena, and mineral prospector of some note, is now operat- ing in Leadvllle and vicinity.
 He says he has found gold in zinc ores from Kansas, and that he has d calamine which assays forty-two per cent in zine and carries from S95 to $500 ton in gold.
 The peculiar feature of this valuable mineral is that it takes a particular method to find and extract the gold, and that the regular established as- savers were unable to discover any zinc or even trace of the gold Mir Wheaton's assayer at Kansas City easily found in great quantities in his calamine ores. Wheaton claims to be putting up plant at Denver for the treatment of his calamine ores.
