Enterprises which yield safely and con-

desirable That such large profits are
safely made the enormous fortunes ac-
quircd by so many of our people In recent
years fully proves Among the very best
paying properties in America to-day, for
the amount of money invested, are the
first class lead and zinc mines of south
west Missouri. In many instances these
properties have earned, from a few acres
of land with an Investment of not very
many thousands of dollars as high as a
million dollars i'm a short space of time.
There are. of course, instances where
some properties i'm Missouri, like other
properties all over the world, have not
realized profits. and there has always been
a good reason for 1t: either poor judg-
ment i'm the selection of properties or
lack of knowledge and poor management
in all cases where good properties have
been opened up and honestly and judi

Development Of Raw Lands.
Tract of 1000 Acres being Opened near Scot
land--22 Drill Holes Have Been Put
Down, Ranging from IIo to 225 Feet.

LFrom the Joplin, Mo, Daily Glopel
1t has long been cause of surprise to
people living in the Joplin mining district
that there mas not been heavier invest
ments made in the raw and undeVeloped
lands of the district The true worth Of
the disseminated lands within radius
of thirty miles from Joplin is compara-
lively unknown, but each year finds
few men who are willing to risk their
money i'm an attempt to develop new ter
ritory, and as a usual occurrence they
have been successful. When the Joplin
mining camp was first started II was
believed that ore was only to be found
in Joplin creek and along other branches
in the immediate vicinity. But the close
of each year has found the producing
lands largely expanded and at the present
time there is much work going on in
this line People with a little money
and plenty of nerve have gone out in the
open prairies and in the timber lands and
drilled land within the past year that
has brought results even beyond the eX-
pectatons of those interested.
The explorations for lead and zinc ore
| that have been progressing on tract
of land east of Scotland for the past
nine months, have, in the opinion of the
Globe resulted in the discovery OF ore
producing fields of great value. a few
DAYS ago the mining editor of the Globe
personal investigation of the situation
there.
The tract upon which the prospecting
has been done comprises 326 acres of
ti' her land which is located about three
m east of the famous Big Six mine
anu mill and is about eight miles east
of Joplin. 1t was formely owned by l..
p. Cunningham of this city, and old
| shafts on the property indicate that it
was mined years ago for shallow lead.
Mr.. Atkinson has control of other prop
erty adjoining this tract, which gives
him fully 1000 acres which is to be de-
veloped.
Last May Mr.. Atkinson, of Boston, Sc
cured control of the property and at once
began prospecting it with drills. Since
that time q holes have been drilled equal
ing $3.50 feet, The drill holes range in
depth from 10 to 225 feet. Good ore has
been found in a majority of these holes,
and the formation of the ground is such
| as to make sinking shafts an easy matter.
There is a limestone cap directly above
| the ore bed which will prove great
| benefit. The holes have been put down
