Regarding Zinc and Lead Mining.

Regarding LluC anu LSdu mining
The prosperity of zinc mining is the
subject of remark the WOrlG over In
the Missouri Kansas district, at least
90 per cent of the mines in operation
are paying anywhere from five to thir
ty-five hundred dollars per week clear
profit, in spite of the heavy lease royal
ties paid by mine operators. In the
Joplin district, the zinc output for this
year will probably exceed that OF the
gold production of Alaska.
In any mining enterprise, three ele-
ments insure suCcess-a desirable
property; capable and honest marage-
ment at the mines; reliable office man.
agement.
The Philadelphia Zinc and Lead min
ing company, which has been lately
introduced to the public, possesses
these elements in marked degree. 1t
controls the fee simple Of over 6000aCres
Of the finest zinc lard in the world,
which means that instead of paying
royalties, they will collect them, and it
is confidently predicted that these roy
alties will soon pay all the expenses of
operating the mines, leaving the entire
output of the mills as clear profit. The
ore, too, is unusually rich, being with
i'm about a point of absolute purity.

true fissure veins, increasing in rich
ness as depth is gained.
