In looking over the columns of

it had something to say about n

that the said men were rounding

NEWS OF MINES
In the Lead and Zinc Region of
Wisconsin.

Parties from Belmont and Iowa
have bought a part of the mine Of
Henry Ovitz and James Harker. 1t
is situkted about five miles south
west OF Mineral Point, on the Peca-
tonica.
While blasting in the Wicklow
mine, at Platteville, second opening
was torn ten feet wide one foot high.
The top and bottom is heavily coated
with lead and zinc, thirty or forty
feet.
The A. p. David Mining company
of Montfort has leased 100 acres and
is negotiating for 400 acres more.
The Cokerville mine, two miles
southwest Of Livingston, is replacing
its gasoline power with steam and
electric power.
A shaft is being sunk on the
George Bickford farm at Livingston
by Madison, Livingston and Linden
people.
A. b. Whitman in Dodgeville Sun:
1t takes time to prospect and discover
and fully equip II lead and zinc mine.
In the Joplin, Mo-, district, it costs,
on the average, 100000, because of
the depth, and water Is abundant. In
Idaho it costs $1,000 to $4,000
because usually third metal Is with
the ore, viz, silver, and expensive
roads in the mountains. But in our
own state the average cost is $4,000
to $50 600, the last where mills, roast
ers and magnetic separators are need
ed. Our ores in Wisconsin are more
pure In their natural state, except the
rosin and peacock jack of Arkansas.
So let me advise investors to hold to
Wisconsin mines for II safe place to
invest their money and be sure of fair
dividends. Our lead and zinc mines
are the biggest per cent dividend
payers in the United States. We are
informed that Ross Bros, were offered
$l60, 900 for their latest mine, near
Linden, and they refused it; that the
mine Is considered by various experts
to be worth $3.50 900 TO $500 900.

Secretary Taft i'm Japan.

Secretary Taft and his party of
Americans are receiving the warmest OF

Americans have long been recognized
as friends. Until Admiral Perry with
an American squadron visited that
country in 1868, Japan was sealed up
against inhabitants of the Western

TWO IMPORTANT MATTERS.

Two questions Of great Importance
to the people of Mineral Point were
brought up for consideration at the
meeting of the Advancement associa-
citation on Monday evening. These
questions were:
First, In regard to the matter OF
making 1t safe for farmers and others
to cross with teams over the railroad
tracks at the depot.
Second, the securing OF good streets
for our city.
A committee was appointed to In
vestigate In regard TO having nag
man stationed near the depot cross
ings. The committee was also In
structed to investigate rs to the fea-
sibility Of changing streets and roads
so as TO avoid the crossings. The
committee Is TO report vt the next
meeting OF the associations; after which
the association will urge the city coun-
ell and the railway officials to take
action In the matter.
Regarding the question of securing
better streets for Mineral Point, some
OF those present suggested that mas
much as no street improvements are
being made this year on account OF
lack OF city funds for this purpose
more money should be raised for.
street work, Others maintained, aud
rightly, that our system OF street
making IL entirely wrong.
The Democrat has had, from time
TO time, considerable to say about
the clty's walks and streets, especially
the streets, tho like of which one will
have TO travel far to find. This, too,
where we have an abundance Of good
material for street making. Good
roads cannot be made by dumping
large stones on the streets, and then
covering tho stones with dirt and
gravel The more money that is
spent In trying to make roads In this
manner, the worse 1t will be for the
city. No better illustration Of this
fact Is needed than is furnished by the
attempted Improvement, of Iowa street
where IL leads north from High
street. For about n week men md
three or four teams were kept busy
hauling big stones aud dirt and dump.
ing the loads loosely on the street
Tho big stones are still there, but
most OF the dirt has been washed back
near the place whence II came, leaving
the road rocky one to travel The
streets In other parts of the city are
in " similar condition; aud this be-
cause right system OF road making
was not adopted by the city long ago,
Is IL not high time to make ~ change?
There Is nm iueXhaustible supply of
stone at hand. The city has n good
stone-orushing plant, and in addition
there should be purchased steam
roller, the price of which, we under
stand, would be from 1900 to 81 200.
With such an equipment good streets
could be made, and In the end thous-
ands of dollars would be saved to the
Taxpayers of the city.
