RECENT FINDS OF MINERAL.
Some Random Notes on Present Coad1.
tioas In the Tsaey CoSaty Mises
and Prospects.

Word has reached US of some i'm
por,Ant finds of mineral on the c. 4.
Jennings laud which lies somewhat
east or northeast Of the Pine Mount
ain. This find was made not longer
ago than Wednesday of last week,
and one man who has seen tho pros
pect says that the mineral In sight
makes almost q better showing than
the Pine Mountain mine itself. The
locality seems to be on rocky point
or hill. and the mineral bearing rock
has been traced around on both sides,
thus evidencing the fact that 1t ex-
tends through tho hill rs blanket
formation which Is about four feet
thick where exposed. The orc Is
mostly lead; but there Is some jack
and it is disseminated 10 pockets all
through the rock. If this prospect
makes such q showing on the out
groupings without any development
work, 1t is likely that a few shots
properly placed would reveal some
rich ore. Mr.. Norris, whose land lies
north Of the Jennings land, has been
doing some actual development work
and finding good mineral. lic Is
sinking n shaft which Is now about
fifteen feet deep.
All this goes to show that tberc
must bo a continuous run or lead OF
mineral from Pine Mountain towards
the east, probably crossing White
river in the region Of the Park and
extending to the mineral deposits in
the ucighborhood of Protein aud
Cedar Croek--this being crossed by
q run extending north by way OF
Kissee Mills to the mineral fields
about Bradleyville.
-
We are informed that development,
work is being continued at Pine
Mountain. The first twenty feet OF
the drift has been completed. aud the
results have been so favorable that
the owners have decided to proceed
with the work without delay. While
they are making no startling rcvela
tions al present, 1t is very likely tha
their pcrscvcring search will bn re
wnrded by something better deeper
in the mountain.
There promises to be renewed
activity in all parts of the minera
workings in tho county. We hav'
lust heard that ThOs. A. Jones Is nov
at work in bis mine near Bradley
Vile, where he had formerly drillc'
a test mole and penetrated five feet o
mineral. The shaft Ia now one hun

WITHIN A FRACTION
OF AFFECT POVERTY



Pretty nearly every business man in
cosmopolitan cities has at one time or
another taken a flyer on the board of
trade, with varying results, but it fell
to the lot of ChicagO'S oldest phOtOgra-
pher, J. K. Stevens. with studios in the
McVicker theatre building, to expe-
rience a whisk in the wheat pit which
all but wiped him out of financial ex-
iStence. 1t occurred back in the 'I0S,
when conditions and general prObabiH-
ties unanimously favored a fall in the
market. and Mr.. Stevens, then in his
prime and the full flush of ambition for
wealth and fame, invested a good round
