with profit, remained in the ground
On account of freight rates and the
limited number of railroads that
penetrated the mining district, the
cost of expensive modern ma
chinery necessary to separate the
zinc from the sulphur, iron and rock
at small cost, this state of affairs
existed for years.
1t is scientific fact in the history
of all great mining camps that low
grade ore is more valuable to a COM
munity in sustaining and maintain
ing large populations than high
grade ore, for the simple reason
that it is almost always found in in
exhaustlble bodies.
The HoDaestake mine of South
Dakota is one of the best paying
mines in the world. 1t produces
ore that only brings on an average
of 81 per ton, and enough ore is in
sight to employ 1000 miners for the
next twenty years The disseminat-
ed ore of this Wisconsin district is
not sought after SO readily as the
free milling ore. yet in time it will
be the large bodies of this class of
ore that will sustain the mining
districts of Wisconsin for years to
come.
In most of the mines that are now
paying dividends black jack is found
in solid sheets that do not require
expensive treatment.
Lancaster is within eighteen miles
of three mines that are paying
regular monthly dividends. The
nearest large mine is owned by the
Lancaster Mining company, known
as the Eberlv, and is located eight
mics from town. The promoters
Of this mine have spent $25, 900 in
shafthouse, machinery, and develop
ment work, but on account of addi-

GETS A WRITE-UP.
Chicago Daily Inter- Ocean Gives Lam
caster Spread.

A representative of the Inter
Ocean Of Chicago was here recently
and a write-up of the city and sur
roundings appeared in that paper
Sunday last, as follows:
With an army Of workmen operat-
ing more than 100 drilling outfits,
piercing the earth's crust in search
OF leau and zinc ore in the mineral
district of Grant county, at Ian
caster, and with a dozen mines in
operation that pay handsome month
ly dividends, the great state of Wis
consln is apparently on the eve of a
mining boom that will rival that of
the Missouri and Kansas district.
.Prospectors arrive daily, every
drilling outfit in the district is
pressed into service, and new
|comers are compelled to wait for
their turn, SO great is the demand
for the contractor that bores holes
In search of mineral. Old time
miners in Lancaster claim it is only
a revival of the palmy days in the
Fever river district, when Galena
took precedence over Chicago as a
commercial center.
Mining for lead and zinc is like
any other proposition. When the
market price of ore pays a hand
soma dividend on the investment
mines are run at full capacity and
new ones opened to supply the de-
mand.
Never since the civil war has the
price of 'black jack" or zinc ore
paid such handsome profit to the
miner. During war times lead ore
ranged in price from $40 to $3.50 per
1000 pounds, and at the present
writing Grant county ore has a
market value of $35. Black jack,
or zinc ore, has market value of
$48 to $50 per ton, which has
caused zinc mining stocks to Jump
from $50 to 81, 900 per share within
the last year.
In 1892 the highest price paid for
the best ''black jack" In Missouri
district was $12 to $18 per ton. I'm
1897 the price reached $22 per ton
for ore which now brings $4S to
$50 per ton in the Wisconsin district.
With modern machinery and new
methods adopted in mining, the
cost of producing a ton of ore has
been reduced to a minimum. Dur
ing the early history of mining in
this district lead ore was the only
mineral that could be mined with
profit. In the early days drilling,
hosting, and crushing the ore was

In religious belief DR.. Smith did not
conform to the conventions of creed. He
was said to be and did not deny that
he was what is known as an agnostic.
He was not, however, an infidel. His
doubtings and questionings regarding
things religious sprang from honest and
intense convictions, and his views he was
prepared TO defend whenever occasion
might arise. He had little If any sympathy
with religious dogma and felt that re-
ligious faith should not be circumscribed
by, or reduced to, the formulate Of creeds.
Yet, withal. he was tolerant in his judg-
ments of others opinions, and sought not
to clash with persons who differed with
him. He understood that the purpose of
all discussion or conversation is not to
overcome ones opponent but rather to
obtain information on the subjects dis
cussed. Though DR.. Smith was an ag-
nostic, all his children We're reared in the
Methodist church.
