| Activity in mining in and about Min
eral Point continues without the least
abatement. In fact it would be still
more pronounced if miners were avail
able. A glance at Mr.. Girling's mining
map of this region, published in the
Tribune last week, is proof sufficient
that a large force of men is necessary
to carry on the work without hind
rance. Said map showed up that there
are fifty or more mines and prospects
being operated, all located within the
Mineral Point district proper, those
shown on the map which should be at
tached to the Linden district not being
counted. Besides these local conditions
citizens of Mineral Point are largely
interested in many of the best mines
in southwest Wisconsin. For instance:
The Coker, the Sunrise, the St. Rose,
the Kennedy, the Mason, the Brown
Croft, the Trio, the Slack, the Peacock,
the Brown and possibly others.
Not a week passes but what some
thing especially good is discovered.
This week it's the grand cuttings from
Elias Jacka's property, short distance
southeast of this city, and leased by
the Chief of Police mining company
composed of twelve of our citizens.
In commencing operations the company
had two holes drilled on the south side
of ravine. The result not being salts
factory the drilling outfit was moved to
the north side of the ravine. Here three
holes were bored and from each rich
cuttings have been taken at depth of
from forty five to fifty feet. These
cuttings are pronounced as rich as any
yet brought to this city for public in
spection. The cutting was through
from three to four feet of jack in each
hole, and the indications are, according
to experts, that the ore is in solid sheet
formation. Such is the finding above
the glass rock. Below the glass rock
jack and sulphur were found, the for
mer quite moderate in quantity. The
company has decided 10 lncori crte with
a capitalization of $4,000. This seems
reasonable and is reasonable compared
with any other proposition. Those who
know the ground leased by the Chief of
Police company and those who under
stand drill cuttings express their conf
dence in no uncertain tone. Hurrah for
the Chief Shares are held at $500.
The Lille is not only producing good
jack but now and then chunks of lead
weighing upwards of one hundred lbs.
are taken out.
After proper organization and elect
ion of officers increased activity in the
John Ross mine is showing itself. Be-

The expressed belief that this mine will
be a quick dividend payer is earnestly
hoped for by one and all Of our citizens.
There has been a better showing of
late at the Sunnyside, on the old Wallis
farm. Jack in sheet formation and sew
eral inches thick has been uncovered.
The find in the Weigel, at Linden, at
depth Of 100 feet is reported as grow
ing richer as they open up. The Golden
Rod company, composed principally of
Mineral Pointers, are eager to get a
drill to work on their lease adjoining
the Weigel property.
Tha Trio people are delighted with
the present showing of their mine. With
in the last few days vein of pure jack
about four inches thick has been found
in the opening above the glass rock.
The Advance company held special
meeting last Thursday evening. They
decided to install hoist and jigs to

Shaft digging and the putting up Of
building is the present order of things
at the Essex mine
At the Brown some drilling is to be
done to prove up at respectable dis

Another shaft is being sunk BY the
Merry Christmas company to the east.
They are still persevering with shaft
sinking at the Harris mine with well
| justified hope of finding richness at a
stipulated depth.
