There is place in our wide

for everything nature has con
structed. We may be puzzled for
time to find the niche for some
article. but the genius of man
eventually rises to the occasion
We have been puzzled over the
separation Of the compound, lead,
zinc and spal, holding that this
trio must be separated before eth.
or had commercial value. There
is great quantity of this blende
in the district, and it has been APP
pal ent that a fortune awaits the
man who successfully makes the
separation. Now comes a demand
for the ore just as nature had
moulded it. Messrs. II. g. Todd
and Charles Mayr, representing a
Chicago manufacturing hou 9
were here some days last week
looking over the field to ascertain
the probable quantity Of this ore
obtainsble. They visited several
of the mines and were, we were in
formed, grstified to find the out
look for supplying their demands
so promising. They have been to
otner zinc fields looking for this
ore. but found nothing 30 nearly
approaching the article wanted as
the ore that has been a problem to
our miners. This Investigation
will doubtless lead to the opening
of satisfactory market for such

from the present depth of 80 feet
