Miss Leona Bulls, the young
lady who was arrested by the
local police last Monday on the
charge of stealing a horse and
buggy from Montgomery's liv-
cry stable in West Point, and
who was subsequently liberated
by reason of the fact that Mr..
Montgomery refused to prose
cute her, returned to West Point
Wednesday. The young lady
was entirely without funds, and
Jail7r Buford Hodge went
around among our citizens and
collected a sufficient sum to de-
fray her expenses to West
Point.

Freight Wreck on she Southern.

West bound freight train No
79 on the Southern Railway,
known as THE Manifest" was
wrecked at West Point about
four o'clock last Wednesday
morning. The train, which was
in charge of Engineer J. A.
Cheatbam and Conductor W. s.
Crawford. was heavy one and
was going at an ordinary rate of
speed when suddenly there was
a jerk and within the space of a
few seconds five cars had left
the rails. The track was torn
up for a srace of about five hun
dred feet. but beyond this the
accident was not a very serio us
one, as none of the equipment or
the contents of the cars which
were derailed we're damaged.
This train. as stated above is
known as The Manifest. "

freight train on this division of
the Southern Railway, and al
though a large number of cars
are taken out on every run this

has occurred since the train was

The Street Railway.

Mr.. CT. Heard. of Brooksville,
one of the gentlemen to whom
the franchise for the building of
street railway was sometime
since granted by the City Coun-
Gil has been spending the past
few days ia the city. Mr.Heard s
presence here naturally brought
the building Of the road to mind
and while be would give out no
definite infor nation it is under
stood that plans are on foot to
resume work on the road at an
early date. A number of cross
ties have recently been brought
to the city and placed along the
proposed route of the road, and
there are other indications that
work is soon to be resumed.
Col. T. J. O'Neill, who is the
local attorney for the ompany,
was seen by a DISPATCH reporter
last Friday. and. while like Mr..
Heard, he said that he had moth

public, stated that the road would

A Runaway Marriage.

Alexander Kazzier and Miss
Dosia Smith, a runaway couple
from Alabama, were married in
the Office of Circuit Clerk Gun
ter about five o'clock Friday af
ter noon, the ceremony having
been performed by Justice of
the Peace Beverly Matthews.
The couple was a strangely mis-
mated one. The groom, who
gave his age as twenty. one, did
not appear to be over seventeen,
while the bride. whose age was
given as twenty three appeared
to be several years older. The
groom, however. averred that he
was twenty one and as there was
no proof to the contrary Circuit
Clerk Gunter issued the requir-
ed license. The matrimonial
knot was quickly tied, and the
young couple went their way re-
joicing.

ALONG ABOUT THIS TIME.

Throughout the northern hemis-
phere-the more populous and
highly civilized half of the world
the days are now at their shortest,
and nature is at her lowest ebb.
The old year from which we hoped
50 much, is nearly spent. We
balance our books and if we are
honest with ourselves look back up
on many disheartening failures and
few successes.
Yet suddenly in the midst of this
depressing period, we lay aside CAFE
and doubt and malice and begin TO
think how we can make others
happy. We feel, as at no other
time, the real closeness of our rela-
tionship to our fellow-an all be-
cause of something which happened
thousands of miles away and over
nineteen hundred years ago.
Christmas is miracle.
Business may have been dull, and
plans may have miscarried until we
feel that we cannot afford to spend
"a dollar Tor Christmas gifts. What
of it9 Shall we make that an excuse
for saddening the lives of those
about us by regrets and complaints
Surely friendship is not SO cheap or
love SO sordid that either can be
bought with q gift OF lost for the
lack of it.
The secret of the christmas
spirit is simple. We are happier
at the Christmas season than at
any other, because then for day
or a few days, we succeed IN putting
our own personalities in the back
ground and our own desires under
foot. In seeking joy for others we
find happiness for ourselves.
Why should we have this spirit
but for a day or a season? The
spirit of love and kindness which
came into the world with the Babe
Who was born in Bethlehem is not
for day but for every day and for
all eternity.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1905-12-16
work going on:

Strange faces are seen on the
streets OF Lancaster daily holding
whispered conversations, and the
hotel corridors are filled with
strangers who are here to look over
the mining situation. The capacity
of tie livery barns has been tested
and every conceivable conveyance
has been utilized in escortino
strangers through the mineral dis
trict in this vicinity. Farmers with
in twenty miles in all directions
have been presented with PROPOSE
ton to leave their farmers for min
eral purposes. Old time tillers of
the soil have leased the homestead
and are coming to Lancaster to
erect home where they will reside
IN the future and educate IEthe1r
children in the city and high school
located here.
An arlstacracy among the farmers
seems to have arisen during the past
few months. Tillers of the soil who
have struck it rich parade about the
streets OF Lancaster and seem to
hold IN contempt their less fortunate
nelghbors who refused to allow
their farms to be disfigured with
derricks and sets of drilling tools.
What has held the Lancaster and
Grant county mineral and FARMING
district back more than any single
factor is the scarcity of railroads
Lancaster has struggled along and
prospe red for years with but one
railroad, and that only spur track
or a branch of the Northwestern
system, which extends from Lam
caster junction off the main line

The business houses are kept I'D
to a standard of excellence. and
carry stocks of goods that actually
astonish the stranger who makes
his first visit to the capital of Grant
county.
The city is made up of hustling,
wide-awake set of business men.
willing to encourage any legitimate
enterprise that will aid in develop-
ing the city's resources and add to
it's population and wealth. A
wooden mill, excelsior factory. and
overall factory have been in opera
ton at intervals during the past ten
or fifteen years, but owing to the
limited shipping facilities were COM
PEELED to suspend business. None
of these enterprises was a financial
failure, but, on account of limited
railroad facilities, the returns did
not justify continuing in the bust.

ii nal modern machinery required,
| in the form of a rooster or reduc-
ton works, the mine is temporarily
shut down.
AS soon as a rooster, set OF all
compressor drills, and larger
engine are added to the equipment
the mine will resume operations.
The ore in this mine runs from 25
per cent to 81 per cent in jack. The
proven ore body is Is feet thick by
35 feet wide and 700 feet long.
There is enough ore III sight to
justify this additional expense of
modern machinery and to keep a
large force of miners employed for
years. Additional ore bodies are to
be proven by drilling on the COM
pany's extensive holdings Of min
eral land.
The Phillips and Dechow pros
pect, within a half mile Of the
Eberle mine, has struck lead
which is being developed into mine
that will pay handsome dividend
on the investment.
The Lancaster Klondike Mining
company, which adjoins this prop
erty, has struck good cutting in the
first two drill holes at depth of 165
feet.
Development work on these two
mines is going on and new strikes
are made daily in the district, that
send mining stock which originally
cost S. up to $1,000. While Lam
caster is in the mineral quadrangle
described in the United States gov
eminent geological survey report,
which takes in a section Of Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, anG Illinois, the mineral
district adjacent to the city is in it's
infancy SO far as prospecting is con-
cerned.
Lead was first discovered in south
west Wisconsin in 1918 by Cornish
MINER, who is responsible for the
wonderful mineral development of
this session of the state. At this
early date all mining was carried
on under the direction Of the feder-
al government, and all prospectors
were compelled to secure a permit
from the officer in command of the
United States regular army, sta
toned in the Fever River district,
which the town of Galena now oc-
cupies.
Zinc ore was not discovered in
paying quantities until 1860. This
discovery gave the mining district
new life that attracted considerable
population, but as the old Cornish
method of hand jigs, lift pumps.
and horsepower HOSTS were in use
aud have been up to within the last
few years, the cost of mining and
the price of ore did not guarantee
capital a sufficient return on the
investment to justify going to the
expense Of putting in modern ma
chinery. With the increased de-
mand for zinc, the metal, in the
manufacture of so many articles OF
! of daily use, such as electrical sup
plies, roofing, fre-proofng, and a
thousand different articles, the de-
mand for zinc, the mineral, has in
creased until capital is flooding the
district with expensive modern ma
chinery that reduces the cost of
production and pays the miner a
larger dividend on his investment.
The following quotations of stock
in the district give and idea of the
