MINING NOTES.

What IS known as the Casey land,
located in 30, p, L, sold last week
tlkansas parties. Reconsideration
Exported is $500 per acre.
Last week the highest basis price for
zinc in the Missouri markets was
S4l so, but this week it has gone up
80 cents to a dollar on the ton.
lnIing the past few weeks there has
been considerable discussion as to
whether zine ore will this year go
below $40 per ton, but the latest de-
yelopments go to show that the
price is more liable to go higher.
.Supt, Hamilton, of the Maumee
Mines, who was in the TIMES office
Yesterday, reports good progress in
tle final adjustment of his mine and
mill for permanent operation, which
vill begin soon, The Mountain
lion, one of the most promising
prospects of the Maumee district,
was sold this week to F. p. Graves,
manager of the Doe Run, Mo, Lead
Co. Mr.. Graves is an all-around ex-
pert in mining matters, and his in
vsstment should give confidence to
others throughout that section.
Fin a recent letter to Mrs F. II.
Ward, oil this city, manager G. G.
Tlavis, of the Davy Crockett mino
ptar st. Joe says, "The recent rains
Tkve set our mill to work again, and
are turning out three to six tons
i day of the finest concentrates
Yer seen in the district. To solve
TIE water problem we are sinking
Shaft, and finding good ore in it
marty all the way down. In the big
side cut, recently extended 1876 feet
aipng the branch, good ore reaches
the full length. Since installing the
new steam iigs we claim to have the
most efficient concentrating mill OF
It's size in the whole Arkansas field. "
The TIMES acknowledges pleas
ant call this week from one ofthe old
and successful proprietors of the zinc
field, Thos. p Cantrell. Without
technical education, yet without the
KEN dscernment of the practical
man whose life has been spent
amongst the hills he studies. Mr.
Cantrell has made many discoveries
of great value, and is every day Civ
ing to those who seek his services re-
suits which may we'll excite the envy
OF experts who know much geology
yet little of the eountry's peeulari-
ties and the real conditions under
which our ores are found. We are
always pleased to pay tribune to the
hofny-handed and level-headed class
of which Mr.. Gantrell is represent
tative. They have been the pioneers
who have made the future greatness
of cur zinc field possible.
The earning power of the dollar in
mirfng is probably greater than in
any other industry. In some
industries the dollar has hard time
to earn three per cent. To great
extent the earning power of a dollar
depends upon the Judgment of the
ow1er. Some men have the faculty
of discerning opportunities. This
faculty is rare Those who win in
mining enterprises get into the enter
prisl that the multitude will
ult YStely support and push to a
sucee ss. If you have this faculty
you should exercise it. 1t is the
sou5ce of wealth. This is the Sc
cret'of fortune. Select the enterprls-
es, after you Investigate, that poss-
ess the elements that create success.
There is no doubt but that there
exists a general incredulity against
new discoveries and new conditions,
This increduiity is what produces an
opportunity to those who investi-
