THE MINES.

The Sunny Side mill is shut down
this week to have some new flues
put in the boilers. The mill ran
steadily all last week and made a
big output of jack.
The crusher and rolls at the Dark
Horse is in, and active work is GO
ing on again. The owners expect
to oatput car load of clean ore a
week from now on.
The Sunburst is turning out nice
ore, both lead and jack, and the ore
face is widening and getting richer
Ford * Troupe's mill is producing
lots of ore. both lead and jack, and
on Monday of this week made lead
at the rate of 1000 pounds an hour
Several shafts are down almost to
ore, among them being Haincs q
Co., Tom Goodwin, Hall & Co., Els
lett & Co., Hash & Co., Kent & Co
and the Missouri & Cincinnati Co.
Post & Co.. d. B. Perkins and Nc
Ruer * Co. have their shafts down
into the ore. At the latter shaft a
drift is being cut to connect with
the Ford & Troupe mine. The drift
is going through some very rich
ground.
The Baxter Mining Co. has four
drills at work. and lie making some
good strikes, az is also Craney q
Crane.
The dirt taken out in sinking the
Rains, Walker & Spiva shaft here
in town was washed up last weel
and yielded little over two tons O.
clean ore-and the shaft is only 2.
feet deep.
A good strike of ore has beer
made just northwest of this city
almost straight north of the Frisco
passenger station-on the G. W
Hefley farm. A Joplin compan!
has lease on this place, and three
drill holes have been put down. II
the first one only shines were found
but in the second, lead bearing
ground was encountered at "a fee,
aud the drill continued in il until {
depth of 40 feet was reached. Dow
considerably deeper zinc ore wa
struck. The third drill hole did no
show up as good as the second, ye
il is better than the first. Nor
drilling will be done before shat

RESOLUTIONS FOR GOOD ROADS.

The resolutions adopted Saturday
by the Good Roads convention at
Springfield recognized the cardinal
fact that the most expensive way to
obtain roads of any sort is to try to
get them without paying for them.
There is not factor for progress
in a community more important
than good roads and this above all
other public improvements should
be provided for BY adequate taxa
ton and sensible methods of ex-
pending the road taxes.
The experience of Greene county
proved the wasteful extravaganza
of lodging economical road taxes.
That county, of which Spriss field
lie the county seat, has expended
$2s5,0OO for public highways in the
past eight years and it is still suf-
fering from bad roads. The trouble
is that poorly constructed roads
"dirt" roads badly drained-do not
/. last for any length of time even
with continual patching. But good
rock roads, built under the supervi'
sion of competent overseers or en-.
gineers, are a permanent invest
ment, and while their cost is greater
for the moment they eventually re-
lieve locality of a continual drain
for road funds. This is to take nc
account of the indirect taxation
which bad roads levy in the depre'
citation of the value OF farm lands
and the cost of getting produce &c
market.
The simple calculation of I, oney
values between poor roads and
good roads is enough to prove the
wisdom of the Springfield resolu
tions which called for better legis
lation and particularly for the en-
largement of the powers of the state
and of the several road districts &c
rise road funds by equitable taxa
ton. The resolutions were in &C
cord with the declarations of both
party platforms favoring the good
roads movement and doubtless EN-
bodied the wishes of the vast body
of the farming communities.
Nothing of more importance will

Toxic, Jan. 11.-,Japan has addressed
note to Russia through Minister de
Rosen. Its character has not been dis
closed, but it is said that Japan re-
-quires an answer within a given num-
ber of days. Whether the note men
tions the time, making the document
an ultimatum. or whether the time is
intimated otherwise, is unknown.
The government, however, is deter
mined to secure an early response and
close the discussion if it should prove
to be fruitless.
1t is understood that Japan adheres
closely to her original contentious and
it is believed that if Russia fails to
fairly meet the demands war will en-
sue ,y
The attitude of the British and
Americans greatly encourages the Jap
anese war spirit, which is stronger
than ever. Despite the general impa-
tience there is no public excitement
here.

SAIL FROM GENOA.
Two Warships Recently Purchased by
Japan.


Japan.
Genoa, Jan. 1.-THE Japanese az
mored cruisers kasaga and Niasin
left Genoa during the day for Suez.
Despite the early hour, 4:30 a. M,
many people gathered ashore to see
the warships leave and to give last
cheer for Japan. Through the semi
darkness the brilliantly lighted ships
could be clearly seen. The Italian
sailors on board the departing ships
exchanged loud salutations with their
countrymen on the docks or on the
steamers anchored near them.
The Kasaga left first. The Niasin
sailed half an hour later, both ap-
5parently going in the direction Of Ma
pies, but no one knows what route
they will take even the commanders,
before leaving, having acknowledged
that they were in the dark regarding
the instructions contained in their
sealed orders. The general opinion,
however, is that they will go through
the Suez canal.
Much comment has been aroused by
the fact that some of the vessels Of
the Russian Mediterranean squadron
have gathered at Suda bay, n0eh OF
the island of Crete, apparently await
ing the departure of the Japanese
ships.

loud report and flames came over the
partitions over my head, the partitions
in the basement under the stage. The
partitions rise from the floor about
eight feet, but do not reach the cell
ing. The flames came from another
room from where happened to be.
There was a crowd rushing around the
door and could not see in. was
told it was some kind of a gas tank
that exploded
William Sleek of New York, a mem
Der of the Bluebeard company, testi-
fed that small fire occurred in a the
ater in Cleveland while the company
was filing an engagement in that city.
AT that time some fans used in a
scene entitled "The Triumph of the
Fair caught fire. 1t was not during
any regular performance and with the
exception of the destruction of the
fans no damage was done.
