up by individual members Of the Meth
odist church for their use and were
owned mostly by citizens Of Cincin-
natl. The only occupants Of the village
yesterday were two women, who were
left there to care for it. These two
women raked up heap Of leaves, to
which they set fire. A brisk wind was
blowing and the grass and weeds were
dry. In moment the whole grove was

mated at $50, 1000.

A MINING COMBINATION.


Kansas City, NO., Oct. 25.-A combi'
nation known as the National Lead,
Zinc 4 Spelter company, with capt.
talization Of $40, OOO, 900 and with a sur
plus Of s5OO,OOO, to control and work
large interests in the Joplin. Galena dis
trict has been formed. The concern
was promoted by Marcus Pollasky,
president OF the National Mine COM
pany, Of Kansas City. Mr. Pollasky
says regarding the deal:
The Jopin-Galena district now produces
about seven-eighths Of the zinc ore OF the
United States and about one-fourth OF the
worlds supply When II IS remembered that
this limited field, covering space OF only Y
by % miles. will thus produce elo,O0OOO worth
OF ore, 1t will be readily seen that our great pos
sbilities for profitable investment Of cipital
when intelligenty manipulated, justifies the
organization OF o corporation with SUFFICIENT
capital to operate on gigantic scale. The
final arrangements for pushing the work along
will be contaminated ut an early date.

THE ZINC MINES.
Little Orc Produced Last Week In the Mis-.
sOuri-Kansas District Owing to
the Shutdown.

Joplin, Mo-, Oct. "a The shutdown
of the zinc mines Of the entire Mis-
souri-Kansas district was in force all
last week, hence but little ore was pro-
duced. The only mines producing ore
were those having special contracts to
fill, and several incorporated compa-
MES that must declare weekly divi-
dends to sell stock. The condi-
tons which caused the shutdown
of the mines are likely to result in
the organization of an immense COM
pany among the mine owners and
mineral land owners Of the district to
build smelters and reduce their own
ore. Already steps have been taken in
this direction, and sl,OOO,OOO stock
company is talked Of by members of
the Zinc Miners association, who
claim that prices of ore and spelter are
being manipulated by spectators. The
smelters claim that spelter is not worth
enough to pay the present high prices
for ore.

it is curious that Gen. Whites tele-
gram TO the war Office Is also dated at

were actuated by sound judgment, since
he soon would have been surrounded
and in desperate position. The COM
bined forces at Ladysmith, now
amounting to some $4,000 men, will be
amply sufficient to act on the defensive.
A few more victories like Glencoe and
Elandslaagte, however, would leave the
British troops without officers.
While the Beers have failed to take
advantage Of their strategic position,
owing to the incompetence or haste OF
