stalled at an early date at the Nancy
Hanks mine, where they now have
about 2, 900 tons Of lead and spar on
their ore dumps ready for treatment.
This large mill was formerly located in
Illinois at a point about twenty-five
miles from Golconda. The plant is be-
ing dismantled and hauled 10 the river
for transportation either across the
river TO be hauled across country by
wagon, or by barge to Henderson or
Evansville, thence by rail TO Marion
for the better wagon haul which will
be afforded from Marion to Salem.
The Nancy Hanks mill will be one Of
the largest capacity concentrating
plants in the district. As the Salem
district now boasts four mills, they are
rapidly forging ahead in the develop
ment Of their minerals. With a rail
road through the district. cutting out
the present long haul by wagon, the
Nancy Hanks, Eagle and Riley mills
and mines would make wonderful pro-
ducers. and would undoubtedly be run
10 their fullest capacity.
