The Iola register., 1901-06-28
DON'T HANG TOGETHER.
The Price of Zine Ore Doesn't In
fluence Price of SpeIter

AS an illustration of the adage that
the price of spelter has nothing to do
with the price of zinc ore dispatch
from Joplin states that it is only nee
essary to mention a couple of instances
is comparison with the last week rela-
tive to ore and metal values. At this
time last year metal sold at $3.97t,
while S26 ton was the highest price
paid for zinc ore. Five years ago
metal was S4 and the top price for zinc
ore was only sd ton. The last week
metal was quoted throughout at only
S3.77t, yet zinc ore sold as high as $2S
a ton. The agitation of the situation
by the producers the last two years
has undoubtedly brought about this
change. Nor is this all. The pro-
ducers boldly assert and prove by the
foreign basis of ore prices that they
are entitled TO still more money for
the ore on the present metal market.
And they hope to secure this further
increased value by the expectation of
one-fourth of the weekly output.
Although the producers think they
are not yet getting full valuation for
the metal contents of their ore even on
this showing, it is gratifying to know
that zinc ore is 81 a ton higher tnan a
year ago. The ore shipment of last
week, compared with the correspond
ing week OF l900 perhaps owing to the
difference in the ore values, shows an
increase of |, 1863 tons of zinc But it
is less than the previous week l,244
tons of zinc. The preceding week was
the record breaker of the year, and
even with the decrease shown it is
above the average weekly value of the
year. The highest price paid for
zinc ore was S2S ton.

IS PROBABLY THE KATY
Their Extension to the Joplin Ore
Fields Evidence That They are
Back of Our New Road

In proof of the theory that the Katy
is back OF the much talked about new
railroad from Moran to Piqua the
following from theJoplin News Herald
is OF interest. The extension men
toned is a road from the main line Of
the Katy into the Joplin ore fields and
would be OF little use to the system
without connection with the smelters.
"F. B. Drew, general freight and
ticket agent for the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas railroad, in Kansas and the
Indian Territory, came over from Par
sons last evening, and today he drove
over a portion OF the proposed route
for the Joplin extension in company
with Engineer Nevins. Mr.. Drew was
non-committal as to his authority in
starting building operations, but be-
fore driving out he held conference
with f. j. Overly, president Of the
Joplin Street Improvement and Con-
struction company, which is now en-
gagged in building roads in Missouri
aud Kansas. After the conference.
Mr.. Overly was not at liberty to
divulge the nature OF the talk; how
ever, within the next few days it may
be announced that the contract is let
to the Joplin firm"

FROM the sound of the platform
adopted by the new third party orga-
nizers at Kansas City last week, it is
evident that the old nineteenth century
Populist was on hand in force. The
resolutions talk about the public own.
ership of railroads and other things,
initiative and referendum and full
legal tender money, just sthe resolu-
tions written in the last century by
James Weaver and Ignatius Donnel-
ley and p. p. Elder and other per-
historic Populists used to.

IN February, 1875, the county COM
missioners Of Labette county offered
u reward of $4,000 for the conviction of
the Bender family. The reward has
never been claimed, although various
suspects have beentried and acquitted,
and last week the commissioners with
drew the reward. And thus is taken,
doubtless, the last official action that
will ever be required in the most cele-
brated and the most mysterious case
in the criminal history of Kansas.

who has been married forty years was
asked for the date the other day, and
had to go to the Bible for it; and a

gave date ten years earlier. There

the birthdays of his children or of his
