The Mineral Point Zinc comma

The Mineral Point Zinc compa-
ny's Memphis shaft, at 140 feet,
has widened out to Z feet of vein
matter, with fully three feet of n
high grade pay streak of zinc and
lead ores. This deep prospecting
on known veins of fluor spar has
30 far resulted in wonderfully
strong bodies of zinc and lead. II
will be remem bered that the huoI
spar on the Memphis practically
ceased at about l25 feet, and but
a small sprinkling of zinc blende
was apparent at that point. From
this knife blade of ore TO a heavy
solid, substantial ore bodyo of 3
feet in Is or 20 feet greater depth,
simply confirms and makes good
the prophesy made that this dis
trict is one of the richest fields
known, in lead and zinc ores car
ried in assure veins.

The Marion Mineral company,
of which an occasional mention
has been made in these columns,
was in its original organization
composed entirely OF our local
people. Ii has from its inception
been fathered and mothered by
Mr.. X. @. Walker, OF Marion, and
so we'll has this double parentage
been performed that its shares,
which at the time Of the compa-
ny's incorporation were placed at
the nominal figure of five cents on
the dollar, are today held firmly
at seventy dollars per share, the
par value being one hundred dol
lars. Judge l. II. James, the
President of the company, is not
a mining man in the generally 40
cepted sense Of the term, yet his
counsels, wise and conservative az
they have proven themselves to
be, have added largely to the we'll
earned success of what may be
termed model organization. The

The value Of the output OF the
Joplin district for last week was
$lS0,959, which was 500. 1857 larger
than the corresponding week OF
last year, and $3l, 500 larger than
the preceding week.
The highest price reported paid
for zinc was $37 per ton, and there
was no falling of in the market,
as predicted by some. because the
Kansas shelters received an i'm
portation Of zinc ore from British
Columbia. On the contrary, the
Joplin market was stronger than
the preceding week.
The assay basis price for the
better grades of ore purchased du.
ring the week past was $34 per ton
for ore assaying 60 per cent. zinc,
The outlook in the district for the

bright, and ii is believed that the
year 1903 will exceed the ten mil

In commenting upon prospect
ing and its methods in this col
umn last week the writer said that
without some indication of ores or
vein matter ii was not good judg-
ment in q mining sense to com.
msnoe sinking a shaft. That
we'll posted mining man must have
some indications of an ere body
before commencing any regular
mining work. OF course such in
dioations vary in different coun-
tries, and in different portions OF
theI same country. With us the
apex OF the vein asserts itself at OF
somewhere near the surface in its
course across the country.
| Exceptions were taken to this
statement by one Of our mos. en-
tsrprising citizens, who good ma
turedly cited the fact that the Luz
ollie working shaft was not CON-
msnced on any ore indications,
also mentioning the Felix Cox
shaft being sunk by Mr.. Hewletts
superintendent.
The gentleman will remember
that the prospect work on the Lu-
lcils followed the vein in its dips
and angles for the lao feet or more
that the working shafts position
! was based entirely on this dip and
located far enough away to cut the
vein in rs feet. that this dip being
more acute than appeared il re-
quired 80 feet to reach it. This is
straight mathematical proposition
which 10 followed in every mining
camp in the world where assure
veins prevail. Practically the
same state of affairs obtained at
the Cox place. Mr.. Cox's little
son uncovered a strata of galena
in the dooryard. Prospecting to
a limited extent was made and the
location and direction was found.
In the first prospect shaft il was
found that the vein dipped out of
the shaft. 1t was thought to be
less expensive to go some distance
from the vein on the surface and
sink second prospect shaft that
would out the vein of ore al thirty
feet depth. This was done, and
of course successfully. 1t would
not have been good mining to
have started these two shafts even
in the same positions with no in
dications of an ore body. OF
course had that been done the ore
would have beed found as it is to-
day, but what possiblc reason
would there have been for doing
that work in that special place.
Mining at best is uncertain; let us
place all the safeguards around it
that experience has proven wise.
