The Colorado carries volume of water sufficient for
such conversion of the desert in addition to the diver

SCROFULA-G. L. B., Novato. II
in a case of scrofula first-class physi-
clans cannot give relief, it is doubtful
if any advertised remedy will effect a
cure. Medical men, since the days of
Pliny, have sought to find a remedy
that is a positive cure, but have failed.
Some remedies have given relief, but
up to date none has proved an absO-
lutte cure.

Il IVise Cat.

The London News gives credit to
cat story which certainly attests
strongly to feline intelligence. 1t says:
"A cat at New Barnet, having had her
kittens drowned on four occasions,
made provision thereagainstf forthe fifth.
Opposite her masters house stands a
very tall elm tree, under which it is
said Bishop Latimer preached the night
before he was burned at the stake.
Pussy made a nest in a hollow up this
tree about sixty feet from the ground,
from which she regularly descended
twice daily to be fed. At the end of
some weeks, during a terrific thunder
storm, when the five kittens which had
been born in the strange and historic
place had reached the venturesome
stage, Mrs. Tabby brought them down
one by one, crossing the road with
each tightly held in her mouth, and
deposited them in the kitchen. The kit
tens were kept, and were eagerly sought
after when the circumstances became
known"

OHIO BUYER ENTERS
THE JOPLIN DISTRICT.
Rumored That General Chemical
Company Desires Ores for Acid
Production.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Joplin, Mo-. Jan. 2i.-While some zinc
was sold last week for this weeks de-
livery at $38 per ton, the highest price paid
for ore delivered during the week was 81
per ton. No change was made in the as
say basis for choicest bins of concen-
trates, S34 being quoted. but some of the
least desirable ore was cut 81 per ton.
selling at 81 per ton Of 60 per cent zinc.
A buyer for chemical company of
Cleveland, c., was in the market last
week and bought some ore for this weeks
delivery. 1t Is understood that the COM
pany's smelter is located in the West
Virginia coal fields. and that the supply of
ore is to be drawn largely from this dis
trict. owing to the high grade and large
quantity OF acid possible to derive from
the ore of the Joplin district, in addition
to obtaining the highest grade of metal.
This will be the longest haul ever made
from this district. the farthest smelters
now obtaining ore from here being at
Peru and Lasalle Ill.
1t is rumored that the new company is
under the direction OF the General Chemi-
ical Company which controls the acid
market OF the United States as the lar
gest consumer. Tnls company supplies all
for the refining OF petroleum, and 1t IS said
to be controlled by the Standard Oil in
terests. The acid derived from the ore of
this district (Which is a sulphide of zinc)
is sulphuric acid. a ton of which can be
produced from a ton Of ore without de-
preciating the metallic contents OF the
ore. The theoretical amount of acid to
the ore is approximately SO per cent In
many smelters this Is entirely lost, be-
cause the demand is limited and the West
ern smelters are too far from a market
for this by-product.
Lead sold last week at $3.50 per ton. 81
per ton higher than the general market
of last week, and $3.50 per ton higher
than the same week last year.
Following are the sales of zinc and lead
ores in pounds by the companies and in
dividuals owning land or first leases in the
various camps of the Joplin district for the
week ending January q. 1904:
