engaged in shaft-sinking at the Harris
and Vivian will be down to where the
drill found such good stuff.

Never since the Inauguration of So
called deep mining has the future of
| this district looked SO bright. There
are now enough properties developed
sufficiently to make southwestern Wis
consin one of the greatest mining fields
in the United States.
The Granville Mining company drilling
on the Granville Extension and last Sat-
urday struck good jack. Inasmuch as
| it establishes the fact that the "old
range" runs from the Ross into the ex-
tension, it is not necessary to describe
the strike in "scare head letters.
Granville stock, as consequence, is
way up" and strictly on its merits. :

spelter out of low grade and lean zinc
ores, which it is thought may revolu-
tionize the zinc industry, has been
started at Pulaski, Va. 1t is said to be

which sprays of water are introduced
under pressure and high grade of
spelter is the product. Three kinds of
spelter (zinc slabs are made. The
government and the export trade use
one-third of the output and the rest
goes into the best bronzes and anti-fric-
ton metals and galvanizing of iron.
