Mining Notes.

The Schoolfeld-Spees Mining and
Milling company have begun their
seasons work at their mines near
Carrsville. They have installed the
new IDgersoll-Rand drill and will
push the work from now on. They
opened up three foot vein Of carbo-
nate zinc last Tuesday afternoon and
have taken out quite large quanti-
ty of good ole. Messrs. SchoolfeId
and Abbott are here and greatly en-
couraged.
Mr.. A. A. Cullen, of Wheatcroft,
KY, was In Marion Thursday to look
after the interest Of the Wheatcroft
mines near Mexico. they have been
doing some fine work at these mines.
A few days ago they struck fine
vein of spar five feet in width, at
depth of ~ feet in shaft No. 2. 1t
is the opinion of the men who are
working there that this is new
vein, and if it is they have three fine
veins across their property. They
have out several hundred tons OF
spar and Mr.. Cullen was looking at
ter the selling of this fine output. In
the last twenty-seven days they have
mined over 200 tons. With the in
stallation of proper machinery these
mines will become the largest produ-
GERS of the district. They are only
about two miles from railroad and
can get it hauled cheap.
We understand that T. A. Conway
of Marion, has just procured a power
of attorney on these mines and Is me-
gotiating a deal. We wish him sue
cess and feel that the purchasers Of
this property will be delighted.

METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL
Have Their Annual Outing Last Thursday
al Crittenden Springs.

Last Thursday was the day chosen
by the VI. +. Sunday School for theil
annual picnic and early in the morn
ing the crowd began to gather at the
church, and at 5 o'clock the merry
voices of the children mingled with
the voices of the elder ones made
delightful music as the different con-
yeyances wound their way out Salem
street with their precious burdens.
Many young people left before the
main body and several afterwards,
but by 10 clock the crowd had all
arrived and were enjoying themselves
in the shade of the trees at Critten-
den Springs and the happy laughter
bursting forth continually showed
that all were enjoying themselves.
Base balls, bats, gloves and mask
we're produced, two teams quickly
chosen and game was soon in pro-
gress. 1t was hard TO decide who
enjoyed the play most, the spectators
OF the participants. 1t was indeed
amusing to see some of our leading
citizens chasing 'fy' balls and yell
ing like Comanche Indians. Rev.
McAfee proved to be the best man
on third and Dr. Orme was by far
the best runner. The only accident
worth mentioning was caused by
foul ball coming in contact with Mr..
Chas. Moore's eye causing the optic
to 90 into mourning.
At IL 30 the welcome call to din
ner was sounded by Mr.. Cochran and
soon the beautiful repast was spread
upon the grass meath the shade of
the trees. There was enough TO eat
and to spare and if there is anything
in the food vocabulary that was not
represented at this feast, well We
pass
After dinner some time was spent
in strolling around the grounds aud
enjoying the beautiful scenery pre-
scented at that place. The children
especially enjoyed wading in the
creek and photograph was taken of
the little tots knee-deep in water.
Near the hour of o'clock the
crowd began to depart and soon the
old place seemed lonesome, having
the appearance of an empty beehive
Just after the bees swarm leaving
everything quiet where before the
air was filed with melody.
The weather continued TO be all
that could be desired, in fact, it was
an ideal day for a picnic and every
ones spirits were as bright as tn,
day. The Sunday school was vel
represented, there being in all abou
$50 men, women aud children VIII,
spent the day at Crittenden Springs
All arrived home tired but happy
and may we We have the pleasure o
meeting together in 1907 with al
present and several new faces shining
in our midst, and may the Sunday
schools of our town prosper and have
many such happy events in the
future.
