Is doing the district incalculable
damage.
There was some talk during the
past week of cutting prices, but IL
was reduced but little. It is free
ly asserted among mine operators
that the price of zinc ore would
now be above $40 per ton if the
car shortage had not come upon
the district. Lead made an ad-
vance of 80 cents per ton the past
week selling at $50 per ton. A
year ago lead sold at 1850, while
zinc brought $50 ton.
The lead and zinc values for the
week we're $1S5,5OO.

The editor Of this department
regrets to learn that Col. Roberts
is seriously thinking of moving
his "lares and penates" to the
State Of Arkansas, We are prob
ably better acquainted with this
gentleman, and know him more
intimately than any one Of his
numerous friends. In a private
conversation with the colonel he
stated that through his connec-
tion with the Marion Zinc oompa.
ny he had made an immense
amount OF money, more money in
fact than he really cared to invest
In any one State. AS a prudent
huancier he desired to separate
himself from so much lucre, and |
could not imagine a more fitting
place for doing this than the State |
Of Arkansas. That States great |
rivers and bayous, with their clear |
pure, coid waters, in many instan-
'es need damming, as do q great
many of its inhabitants, notably
The mountain hotel keepers. There
is a great opportunity, the colonel
links, for expanding money in
Arkansas. He wishes to convey.
through this column, his thanks

The first car load Of Jack" ev.
er shipped from this district was
consigned to the Mineral Point
Zinc company last week. 1t is a
surprising feature in any miners
experience that sulphide ores
shou. ID DO taken direct from the
mine to the smelter without any
intermediate work OF cleaning or
separating. These great masses
OF Jack" are mined from the Old
Jim, raised and loaded in cars the
same as carbonate. The percent.
age OF zinc will probably average
between fifty and sixty, nearly
equal to the milled ore Of Joplin.
This initial car will be followed by
others as rapidly as the transpor.
tation facilities will permit. The
sale OF raw ores Of this character
indicate the very high per centage
OF zinc that our veins carry. In
Joplin a six per cent disseminated

The Candidates.

The republican ticket selected
by party representatives in the
various conventions, all things
considered, is an especially
strong one throughout, and is
worthy the support of every
man who is satisfied with pres
ent conditions as compared to
the times when democracy had
control OF affairs.
On the state ticket most of
the nominees have served one
very successful term in office and
are well known to the people.
Among the few rev candidates
Hand county has one Of her own
citizens Upon the ticket in the
person of ID. III. Smith for Rail-
road Commissioner. 1t is un-
necessary for this paper to COM
ment upon Dick Smith to
Hand county people. They
know and like him.
Republicans believe the county
ticket is the strongest one they
could nominate, composed OF
well known inen, all qualified for
the positions they are selected
for, and the PRESS respectfully
asks the voters Of Hand county
70 carefully consider them upon
their merits. 1t seems IN Hand

j. III. Cole for States. Attorney,
who came within 6 voters OF be-
ing elected two years ago, is a
dead sure winner this year. His
20 years acquaintance with
Hand county people is sufficient
to make comment unnecessary.
He il good lawyer, an indus

DO you remember John Costi-
gan? Who does not know this
'whole-souled Irishman? He is q
candidate for Clerk of Courts,
and would make a good one.
He is ali old veteran, and shows
the marks OF strenuous service
for his country in the sixties.
He has been with US twenty
years, through the ups and
downs of the pioneer life, and is
worthy OF every confidence.
County Superintendents must
be men who have devoted con-
attention to educa-
tional work, hence it became the
logical thing for republicans to
select Prof. q. Fl. Grace to sue
ceed that old educator, Prof. j.
III. Snoddy, who is just now clos
ing his second successful term.
Prof. Grace was county superin-
tendent some years ago in our
nelghbor county on the south,
Buffalo, and is especially quail
fed by education and experience.

lldates are +. NJ. Mead for the

other county IN the state that
on the county ticket many vot-
ers pay little attention TO party
| lines. Why this il so would be
hard to determine, but that
such q condition does exist is
evidenced by the fact that no
party ever elected it's fnll county
ticket at any single election since
i the first yotein 1882. Hence it
is not strange il the parties Sc
lect for county Office some OF
their best men, who stand well,
who are well known, who are
we'll qualified for the various po-
sitioiis. Such seems to have
been the realization of republi-
cans this year, and the result is
disclosed in the ticket nomi-
mated.
Look over the ticket. Did
Hand County ever have an OPP
portunity to vote for more able
men to represent her in the state
legislature than +. +. Saltmarsh
and DR.. r. l.. Smith? The one
IS an experienced business man,
and the other a professional
man and stockman, an old SOL
der; both well educated, clear
thinkers, ready talkers-men of
affairs who have gained expert
ence by contact with world. Are
they not well qualified to know
what is going on among the
bright hustlers at Pierre? Come,
now, you sensible voters OF Hand
county, do yourselves proud and
send two men who Will know
what is transpiring in the legis-
lative whirlpool. There is no
question about their election.
Express your approval because
it is not always possible for par.
ty representatives to induce such
men to lay aside private affairs

and accept public duty with
little or no pay in it.
