Special Levy for Roads.


Now, the only way | see to haze good
tax to do so, and l would propose that
at our coming election next fall the
people be asked TO vote on the ques-
ton of having a special tax or not for
good roads. Then, if the people voted
it down, they would be to blame and
not the county commissioners. If Mr..
Bell and others who do heavy team
work or hauling in the spring would
use good judgment they could a v the
county roads and a large part of $500 0
in loss of horses by doing the largest
part of their hauling before the frost
came out of the ground, as any team.
ster knows it can be done for half the
expense before that time.
Traction Engines and Autos.
Mr.. Bell claims that none of the
county commissioners have ever held
the lines over a four-horse team, or
driven a traction engine. We must
confess that we have never had the
pleasure of driving a traction engine,
or an automobile, but We have held the
lines over a four-horse team long be,
fore Mr.. Bell came to Wyoming, and
can appreciate a good road as well as
the next man, and one member of the
board of county commissioners could
give Mr.. Bell some valuable pointers
in running a traction engine or any 9th.
err kind of al engine.
Honest Assessments Good Things.
In conclusion, l will say that if the
majority if our taxpayers would give
in a fair and honest assessment of their
property, and not be what Governor
Brooks rightly terms tax dodgers
there would be plenty of money tc
build good roads and keep up gooc
schools as well. The poor man has tt
pay tax on every dollar he has in sight
but the man who has his thousands de
posted in the banks, and can well at
ford to pay tax on the same, gets of
without paying a cent. Is there an!
right or justice in that?
Respectfully,
C. H. JONES.

Insisted On Punishment.
The first trial of the case was expen,
siye, but he would not allow himself
to be led away from his belief in the
guilt of the woman by the cry Of econ
omy, insisting that she be punished as
an example to other evil doors, the PEG
pie being willing to meet whatever eX-
pense was entailed by a second trial,
which had been through no fault or
lack of attention on his part.
Will Become a Bride.
1t is announced on what is believed
to be excellent authority that when
Mrs. Powell shall have completed her
Jail sentence she will become the bride
of Hans Fehr, a German ranchman OF
this county, who has resided here q
considerable time and who is looked
upon as a man of parts and wealth.
Gratifying to officers.
The officers are pleased at the out
come, although both the county attor
ney and sheriff had everything arrang
ed for conviction. They believe the
ends OF justice will be served and that
the punishment of Mrs. Powell will
mean the end of cattle stealing in this
county. Mrs. Powell will suffer for
what the officers believe to be her own
guilt and the case will be an example
to others. The attorney and sheriff
are being complimented today.

REVIVAL Ut MiNlNG
In the Lead and Zinc Region of
Wisconsin.
A NEW ERA FOR MINERAL POINT
Old Mines are Being Opened Up,
Mining Properties Examined,
and Drillers at Work
Everywhere.
MINERAL poINr.LINpEN DISTRICT.

During the fifteen years between 1875
and 1890 there was u falling of of
nearly 5000 in the population of
Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette counties,
three of the Oldest and most product
i've counties in Wisconsin. The falling
off has been accounted for by the fact
that mining had been quite generally
abandoned in these counties during
the period named, and by the further
fact that the cheap farming lands of
the west and northwest had drawn
many of our people thither. About
1890 the tide began to turn, and since
that time southwestern Wisconsin has
shown steady increase in population.
The present situation is gratifying
one. Old methods of farming have
been gradually abandoned, and our
great blue grass region is giving
great reward to stock raisers and
dairymen. Mining for lead and zinc
ores has been revived to an extent un.
dreamed of few years ago, Modern
machinery has been introduced and
later methods of mining have been
employed, Only a few years ago
there was not concentrating plant in
the entire Wisconsin lead and zinc
district During the last three years
more than fifty such plants have been
established for the reduction and
cleaning of ores. The establishment
of the Mineral Point zinc works, in
1882, gave an impetus to mining
throughout this region. These works
and the great acid plant in connection
have furnished market for unlimited
quantities of ore, and made the build
ing, last year, of the Mineral Point
and Northern railway to Highland an
absolute necessity. Mineral Point
shares to large degree in the present
revival of mining. The Mineral
Point Linden district, ct,-comprsing an
area of Al square miles, may be said
to be alive with miners and prospect
ors, while many others are on the way
hither. Tributary to this district are:
Mitliin district Us square miles, the
Highland district az square miles,
and the Dodgeville district C. square
miles). This entire area of country,
comprising the greater portion of
Iowa county, is rich in both lead and
zinc ores.
That, through the extensive mining
operations which are now in progress,
new and productive ranges Will be
discovered, no one can doubt. In
and around Mineral Point there has
during the last fifteen years been com
paratively little mining for zinc ores.
Old mines which were worked to the
natural water level and then aban-
doned are to be opened up and worked
deeper. Capitalists from abroad are
investigating our claims and investing
money in mines and mining projects
here.
The revival in mining throughout
the lead and zinc producing areas
of Wisconsin is not an unnatural one:
and if il has been slow in coming, we
believe that it will last the longer for
it. The increasing uses for the pro-
ducts OF zinc ores, make 1t indeed
fortunate for region in which they
abound.
