rick has been enclosed for winter
work.
d. 3. Perkins 10 working again.
We expect to see the Perkins shaft
showing up mighty well before
long.
The Joanna is housed in for the
winter. The dirt is very rich In lead
and silicate. This shaft is going to
be daisy.
Haines & Co. are down 60 feet in
their shaft on the Coosotte land.
They have about IS feet to 60 yet to
reach their ore.
Hash, Canaday & Hash, on the
Coosotte land, are still in ore. Their
dirt is very rich, and they will sink
through it before drifting.
F. w. Keasbey has transferred to
the Quiveria Lead and Zinc Com
pany his interest in the Perkins
lease of the Crawfish land.
Craney & Co. have made some
good drill strikes and we are glad
TO know 1t, for they have been very
persistent in their efforts.
The Quapaw Mining Company,
which is sinking on the Abrams
land, northwest of the hay barn, lie
down about 80 feet. They will find
their ore at SO feet.
The Mission mine is producing
lots of ore this week. The richer
dirt lies in the bottom of the drifts
and just as soon as STOPPING begins
keep your eye on the Mission mine.
Wright & Co., at the Tom Clark,
are getting out great deal of lead.
We understand a mill is contem.
plated for this property, as. beside
the lead, there is lots of carbonate
ore and silicate.
]. P. McNaughton is doing a great
deal of drilling on his holdings
just south of the Mission mine, but
in the Peoria reservation. He has
already made two good strikes and
is going to thoroughly prospect
the balance of the land.
( The Sunny Side last week turned
in 1880 pounds of zinc and the
Dark Horse 41,0O0. The Joanna
turned in 1900 pounds of lead ore,
which was taken out in sinking.
The Mission sold 10000 pounds OF
zinc, but it was not mentioned in
the turn-in because ii was not
loaded.

There are at the present time five
good producing properties, and by
January 1st there will be at the very
least fifteen good producing mines.
The Galena Times has sneered at
the Baxter Syringe district ever
since ore was discovered here. But
just why a man will cit in a grave
yard and yell is something we can't
understand.
