Because of political and fair doings
mining matters have been neglected to
some extent by the Tribune the last
few weeks. However, the grand dis
play at our fair of ores from the local
mines proved a good substitute. At
present, mining affairs are being con-
Quoted in a sane and Industrious way.
That there are mines of merit in and
around Mineral Point time will prove.
What Mr.. j. II. Lewis, close observer
and man of experience in mines and
ores, has to say about the exhibit at
the fair lately held in this city should
be read by every one interested in this
subject. The same is published in this
weeks Tribune.
Last week it was announced in these
columns that the Chief of Police would
have samples from its mine at the state
fair. Since then it has been learned
that the Hoare Mining company would
also make an exhibit there. Work is
being steadily pushed in both these
mines with an increase in showing of
merit.
The mammoth boilers and other ma
chinery, etc., that have been hauled to
the Hazel Patch mine within the past
week, together with the large force of
carpenters at the mine, tell plainly that
something extraordinary is doing at
this mine, now rated among the leaders
of the district.
The Temby is in active operation ev
cry day. A meeting of the stockholders
of this company has been called for the
18th inst, to consider the question of
equipping the mine with necessary ma
chinery.
A note from the secretary of the o.
X. company, at Miffiin, is to the effect
that last Thursday they struck fine
showing of jack under the glass rock.
Our former townsman, VIM. Temby, is
superintendent.
Another shaft is being sunk by the
Harris people. There are very hatter-
ing indications that rich bodies of ore
exist on the lands this company has un-
der lease
Operations are active on the Jackson
land at Bloomfield, leased by citizens of
Mineral Point. No property has been
more thoroughly tested by drilling, and
the cuttings were rich. The recognized
mining expert, the late Richard Ken
nedy, predicted that this land would
prove heavily laden with ore.
The Lille, the Liverpool, the John
Ross, the Merry Xmas, the Rabbit Foot
the Homesite, the Victoria, the Tripoli,
the Vivian, the Lucky Seven, and the
Argall all maintain their good standing.
The development of each is continually
going on.
The Iowa and Wisconsin mining COM
pany's new shaft, located one mile
southwest of Miffiin, on the John Bur-
ton farm, is now being sunk to the
depth of fifty feet, or through the glass
rock, where an excellent showing was
struck by drilling, estimated by the
drillers to be from 80 to 36 inches in
thickness. The company consisting of
Dubuque, Mineral Point and Miffiin
people have capitalized under the laws
of Wisconsin for $40. 900.
