Platteville, Wis He grew thoroughly
familiar with the promising properties
Of that region that were put out of
business by the slump in lead that oc
Cured many years ago Some promis
ing explorations were dropped at that
time aud never taken mp again.
Recently there has been great re
yival in lead mining business and a
property with any kind Of showing
is worth lot Of money today The
boom seems to be well founded and
the opinion of those well versad in
the industry il that lend mining in
the fnture will be n permanent
basis
The property that Mr. Dawson has
is one that he worked in years ago
just a they had good thing the bot
tom dropped ont 1f the market and il
has lain untouched until the present
time Mr. Dawson kept the property
in mind all Of these years and when
he learned that lead mining was at
the top notch again he visited the
place purposely to secure the property
he has an option upon il and is form
ing company to explore IL. Hc
says that the shaft will produce load

reached when a little money will b.
necessary To purchase machinery etc.
