Two new iron fields are reported
within the week, one in Wisconcin,
where on lands owned by Holmes &
Son, west of Dunbar, explorations
have proven iron deposits of good
grade ore which will be throughly
explored the coming season. The
other field is in Missouri, where ex-
plorations have proven the deposit
to be extensive, embracing sections
of Lawrence, Dade and Green coun-
ties. This latter find was made by
W. c. Thompson, who states that in
southwestern Missouri there are
thousands of acres of lands adjoin-
ing the zinc deposits on which out
groupings of ore are to be found,
and which lands have never been
systematically explored. Speci-
