The Joplin zinc and lead mar
ket for the week ending Saturday
was a shade better and very firm.
What is termed the Joplin district
comprises various points in Kan
sac and the Indian Territory and
the aggregate output of lead and
zinc, while credited to Joplin,
comes from at least Is widely sep
arated mining camps. The ores
are generally bargained for during
the first part of the week; they are
delivered TO cars or smelters by
Saturday morning and payments
are made that day, SO that Joplin,
the monied center of the district,
is a very lively place up to 10 or
III o'clock Saturday evening; the
banks are held open until that
hour or later, the land owners, the
operatives and the lessees all re-
ceive their money and the bust
ness of the week is settled and
paid for in full.
The feature of the last week
market was the very small reserve
stock, in fact not more than a
weeks output has been on hand
during the past two years. While
there has been a small increase in
production during the ten weeks
of this year the increase in smelt-
ing capacity and the greater de-
mand has caused the smelters to
encroach upon their stock reserves
and the outlook is more than pro-
missing for still further advance.
Zinc sold at $31 80 per ton, lead at
$43.50 per ton. 1t should be not
ed that these prices refer to the
ores, not the metals.
The largest producing proper
ties of the Joplin district are I'M
der the control of the Continental
Lead, Zinc and Smelling Compa-
ny. They show a production last
week of 451, 900 pounds. When
it is understood that one of our
properties with merely surface de-
velopment is able to ship 10000
pounds in the same number OF
days, the great value Of the Mari

OLD Time FIDDLERS
Contest to be Held in this City
March 26th.

Marion is to have an Old Time
Fiddlers' Contest on Thursday
evening, March Goth. All arrange
ments havebeen perfected. Judge
M. ID. Brown, of Jacksonville, is
the manager of the contest. He
was in this city Monday arranging
with Walter Walker, manager of
the opera house, for the entertain
ment. Judge Brown is widely
known over Western Kentucky,
He has participated in twenty or
more contests, and there is no
doubt the contest will prove a
great success with such a compe-
tent and popular manager. Low
rates have been obtained on the
railroad from all surrounding
towns. Every old time fiddler in
western Kentucky will be invited.
The expenses of all contestants
will be paid by the management.
The program has been arranged
and will appear next week. There
will be any number of amusing
contests. There will be a prize
for each any every old fiddler.
Many fine special features will be
introduced. Fifteen of the best
old time 6ddlers of Hopkinsville
and jacksonville are coming. 1t
will be the most amusing and most
unique entertainment ever held in
Marion. Just imagine fifty or six
ty old time fiddlers on the stage,
playing in concert "The Arkan-
saw Traveller" Dixie" or "Old
Black joe" 1t will be better than
a circus. Every old fiddler who
desires to enter the lists can do so
by writing to Walter Walker. Re-
the date, March Goth, and
arrange to attend.
