NJ. James Harris, of GAINESVILLE, who
has mining interests in this section,
spent Monday in our midst.
VIM. McMullen of Newark, Ohio,
spent few days in this city inspecting
| the mines in which he is interested.
j. w. Flack, the central figure of the
great Hazel Patch mining company, was
out from Milwaukee this week. He is
satisfied with the outlook.
The Argall mine is growing in merit.
With each day work in drifting, which
up to this time has been conducted to
the extent of o5 feet, the body of ore
has increased in quantity and quality.
s. E. Harley of Chicago, who Wis
tied the mines in this region as the
guest of George Giriing, said that he
was surprised at the mineral resources
here and stated that Chicago people
didn't know of the riches so near by.
A body of solid lead ore five inches
thick has been uncovered at depth of
go feet at the Victoria, mine operated
by DR.. Parmiey and Mr.. Willis on the
Little property just west of this city.
There are strong indications of the
Victoria proving an exceptionally good
mine.
Mr.. A. B. Whitman of Dodgeville in
writing of the way the mines are infu-
encing other lines of trade, says: ''The
hiring of so many men for the mines
has seriously affected the labor question
with farmers in southwestern Wiscon-
sin. Some farmers, like George j. Har-
ker, who has 2, 200 acres in Iowa county,
has been compelled to subdivide and
rent out most of his big farm, so as to
have the crops saved. Two years ago
he had to buy three cars of young cat
tie and turn them into 160 acre field
of oats so as to save any part of the
field. Thomas Jones, who has l, 100 acres
in farms, reports the same difficulty in
the eastern part of the county. Some
farm work is at stand still for lack
of laborers on farms. Some of the mine
companies lend men to help farmers
harvest and save their grains.
Dodgeville Chronicle: The new 50-ton
concentrating mill at the McKinlay
mine, two miles east of this city, COM
menced operation Wednesday. 1t was
built by the Smedley Steam Pump Co.
of Dubuque, and the Carterville Foun-
dry of Carterville, Mo-, under the man
agement of j. S. Handyside of Du-
buque. Mr.. Handyside claims that this
mill is one of the best manufactured
and capable of milling from rs to 100
tons of dirt per day. The construction
of the building took 900 feet Of lum-
Der and 1876 barrels of cement, and it is
magnificent structure. 1t will take
fifty men to keep it running at it's full
The mill will be in charge of
w. E. Stephens of Carterville, Mo. 1t
is estimated by competent judges that
the McKinlay has at least 225 tons of
ore on the dumps. and material enough
to keep the mill in operation for many
years. The SNOWFALL mill will be com
pleted this month. The mill is an exact
duplicate of the one at the McKinlay.
