of Blue & Nunn's new machinery
at the Old Jim niue, crushed
some Of this dirty looking rock
and washed the earth out OF it,
and found to his amazement, as
we'll as my own that it carried over
40 per cent of Jack or the ore
of zinc. To make a positive test
it was weighed in the rough and
then washed, and the result was A
per cent more, or A per cent. You
will understand that two and
half tons of this vein matter will
produce ton of Jack, valued to-
day on board cars here at $3S.
1t is not much of a trick to mine
and raise 100 tons of this rock,
mixed with 40 per cent zinc ore,
every "a hours after you have your
shaft sunk and drifts run. ASK
any mining man about how much
he could stope out under such con
ditions in even a three foot vein.
A hundred tons of this rock at our
milling plant would produce daily
40 tons of shipping zinc ore, or
1000 tons monthly, which you will
notice runs up in money to $685.
600; and suppose we have six
shafts made on this vein, as there
is ample room to do it on the pro-
perty that the Reed Mining CON-
pany own, and you multiply your
$3S, 900 by six every month, always
remembering that there are two
other veins that we don't know 80
much about, but we do know all
about this one-$27S,0OO monthly.
I'll just make one prediction,
and that is, that the $50 paid tor
the lot and 1000 shares will be
worth ten times fifty in 80 days
from today.
Yours truly,
ID. G. ROBERTS, Sec'y.

Considerable time and expense
has been caused in the past
through lack of facilities here in
Marion for the repair of mining
and other machinery. Messrs,
Adams & Num- are now prepared
to furnish nearly everything re.
quisite in the way of repairs to
engines, pumps, hoists, etc., etc.
Sandy and John are well up in
everything pertaining to mschan-
ism, notably 80 in iron and steel
working; in fact they are doctors
of that degree and will cure any
kind of sickness that machines are
subject to.
