In continuing the work of foundation
digging for his mothers new residence
Fay Jacobs has about another 5, 900 lbs.
of lead ore unearthed. This makes the
second lot of that amount, and still
there's more.
The Brown-Croft Co. enters the divi-
dend paying list of mines this month
and has declared dividend of four per
cent on its capital stock of $50, 600 pay
able on June 18th to all stockholders of
record on that date.
The Merry Christmas is to be stocked
and placed on the market in about a
week. Watch for prospectus. This is
one of the best of the several good
mines within our city limits. 1t is on
strong bearing range of as high a
grade of jack as raised anywhere.
| Another good feature is the fact that
| it is to be stocked at comparatively
low figure.
Everybody who visits the Lille mine
comes away with decidedly favorable
impression. Large chunks of lead and
jack are being released from their hid
ings every day. This mine, too, is with
in our city limits.
Two other mines within our city limits
that are being well equipped with ma
chinery and making good Roadway, are
the Liverpool and John Ross. From
the present outlook handsome returns
are near at hand.
Shaft sinking is the plain order of
things at both the Harris and Chief of
Police mines. If large bodies of ore
are not found when they get down to
where the drilling showed such rich cut
tings, there will be more than one dis
appointed.
The Dark Horse mining company is
the latest Linden mining corporation.
1t takes over the leases of the Plat
Whitman company that made the re-
cent great strikes in the village of Lin
den Capitalization $4,000.
There was enough lead ore taken
from the shaft lately sunk by the Saal-
saa mining company, near Dodgeville,
to pay for the labor.
The Hoare Lead and Zinc mining
company has five men at work. Pres
ent prospects are good.
The Brown Croft mill is turning out
about fourteen tons of concentrates
each shift.
The Vivian company, formerly the
McDermott, has been Incorporated for
$25, 900. This is the company that has
in all probability drilled it's leases as
thoroughly as any in the district. Shaft
sinking is now the order.
The fact that cement brick can be
made out of the tailings, the rock which
comes through the mill, has added new
industry to Linden. The three-story
building which is being erected by
Thomas Hicks is sample of the work.
The rocl IS of such fine quality that it
is hauled to Dodgeville by team, to be
used in their cement walks, and is being
shipped by the carload to the larger
cities. The sale of these tailings leaves
practically no waste in the Linden mines.
Rich disseminated ore has been found
at the Sunnyside. Work is being ac-
lively pushed.
All mines and prospects adjacent to
this city east and southeast are looking
better than ever before.
The sinking of shaft at the Essex
is being done by competent force.
They are down now possibly forty feet,
and may have to go eighty more.
The Horesite eomnany composed of
GAINESVILLE citizens, after due trial by
option, purchased the property out

Friday. There are nine and three
quarter acres of land all within first
ward limits. Hosting, pumping and
other machinery are now in operation
| Drilling has been commenced by the
Golden Rod company on land near the
village Of Linden. This company is
composed mainly of Mineral Pointers.
What of the Lucky Seven? Well,
/, they are working steadily on a fair
. body of ore with favorable indications
of its lettering as they go into the hill,
The next move of the Advance COM
, pany is said to be that Of drilling or
. its Willard lease, town of Miffiin.
II 1t is reported that mill will soon be
| in operation at the Hazel Patch.
