property, is about the close a deal
with an eastern syndicate for the

Carpenters and mechanics are need
ed everywhere in this district today.
Miles upon miles of cement walks are
being laid, and here much credit must
be given to the Mineral Point & Nor
thern railway for the tremendous
building boom that is on in every
quarter. Originally the road had
behind it a joint stock corporation
but the New Jersey Zinc company
early recognized Highland as one of
the best mining camps in the field,
and bought out the first promoters,
returning their money to them. This
corporation now practically owDs the
road which operates thirtytwo miles
of track and along the right -of-way of
which is one continuous chain of
miners. Millions of dollars have
been invested and the travelling public
is given the most cOnsummate consid-
Grafton. Incidentally mining lands
have been bought up which brings the
interests of the company so close to
home that there can no longer be any
doubt but that greater development
everywhere will be encouraged by the
10000, 900 zinc corporation. The
great need at present is miners cot
tages, and hundreds Of men will find
employment this winter in the mines
of Highland.
Mr. Nelson H. Snow, of Mineral
Point, is one of the Oldest ore buyers
in this field and one of the most ex
pert ore buyers in the United States.
At present the gentleman is engaged
in buying for the Illinois Zinc COM
pany at Peru, and the Federal Lead
company, owned by the Guggenheims.
Mr.. Snow in a personal interview
stated that his firm has cautioned him
on the purchase of lead ore; which
statement is significant of still lower
levels to be attained by the lead mar
kets. He reminded the writer that
his father had sold thousands Of
pounds of lead ore to him for S14
thousand and that the producer then
paid 81 per ton for carriage to track
and that lead mining was still cousid
crate profitable at these figures.

LARGE SHIPMENTS OF ORE
Mineral Point Makes a Favol .,bIe
Showing.
$4,000 POUNDS OF ZINC
$4,000 Pounds of Lead, and 1O5,
900 Pounds of Pyrites Shipped
from Mineral Point District
Dnring the Week End
ing July 20.
WORKMEN NEEDED.


The development work that has been
going on in the lead and zinc fields of
Wisconsin is beginning to bring big
returns. This is especially true of the
Mineral Point district, where up to
last year mining had been somewhat
at standstill. j. Fl. Lewis, in Mon
days issue of the Milwaukee Free
Press, writes thus encouragingly of
the situation in and around Mineral
Point:
Another week of marked activity
has been recorded in thefast becoming
great zinc fields of southwest Wiscon-
sin.
The shipments for week ending July
20, exceeded 1900, 900 pounds of zinc
ore, 100 tons of lead ore and 105, 900
pounds of iron pyrites.
The shipments from Mineral Point
were 557 900 of zinc, 81 500 pounds of
lead, and 105, 800 pounds of pyrites.
The better showing made by Mineral
Point is now due to the fact that the
Hazel Patch went into commission on
the 17th with mill concentration built
western type. This big plant cost the
Flacks and others of Milwaukee
$25, 900 and when completed it was
found that the jigs and screens were
not adapted to the handling of Wis
cOnsin ores, and the Mathey foundry
at Galena was given the contract TO
install a new set throughout. The re-
suits obtained at this time justify the
Liverpool, another Acton mill of the
Allis-Chalmers type, is now in opera
tiOn also and contributing to the week
ly output of the Mineral Point camp.
The TripOli, at one time under the
management of Alexander w. Hill,
recently deceased, prominent Mil
waukeean, is just completing the in
stallatiOn Of a thirty five horse power
hoist, about 400 feet removed from the
main plant. This is due to the fact
that the more economical handling of
ore is required and the plant will be
operated by electricity furnished from
the central plant.
Supt. Perkins has recommended the
building of several miners cottages at
the mine site which can be let at q
nominal rental to miners with their
families, and in this way secure a
more permanent working force. At
present forty men are carried upon
the pay roll and more good miners
will be employed. Other mines at the
city of Mineral Point from which ship
ments may be expected are the John
Ross, Hoare Bros, Lilly, Homesite,
Merry Christmas and Temby.
The last-named mine carries a
small vein of copper and the mine has
a romantic history. Prior to the
civil conflict copper smelter stood
about where the present big oxide
works are located and the product of
the TembY and other mines cOntribu
ted to the copper smelter. The ship
ments in copper ingOts amounted
to nearly 100000 pounds, and Judge

Companies are busy milling their
large piles of ores. The Highland
Mining Company has two mills, one

For the week ending July 18th
100000 pounds of zinc ore was shipped
from this station. The week ending

the greater part of it was shipped tC

CLEANING UP DAY

The spring cleaning movement in
augurated some time ago by Mayor
Scherff for today, was given a
knock out blow by the weather man
and the down pour of rain prevented
much work being done.
The failure Of the weather to
change is severe disappointment to
the mayor. who was very anxious
for a bright warm day, in order to
allow residents to clean up their
properties, thereby improving the
sanitary condition of the city. and
adding much to its general appear

many persons did as much cleaning ar
was cosible under the circumstances.
The garbage wagons have been ex.
ceptionally busy all day, and q there
are many days of work ahead of
them. Under George Blum, the street
commissioner all OF the employees .of
the street cleaning department were
out today cleaning the streets. and
assisting in the movement as far. a.
Is possible. M
The mayor will probably set aside
another day for spring cleaning, after
the weather has become settled, and
a hearty cooperation on the part of
everyone will be urged.

THAW JURY.

Continued From Page One
length of time, and buoyancy of spirit
is nearly always apparent.
There were all sorts of rumors and
guesses In the air as to how the
jury stood. There were more different
reports as to the results of the bal
lots than there could possibly have
ben test votes taken. None of the
reports had any degree of authenticity.
Some were uttered in jest by promin-
ent figures connected with the trial,
and occasionally these were taken, in
deadly earnest by those who overheard
them.
The action of the jury In twice
going before Justice Fitzgerald to
have certain portions of the testimony
read to them, was widely commented
upon, and naturally caused much spec
ulation. lt seemed evident that the
jury's deliberations were hinging
upon the question of the sanity or in
sanity of the defendant as shown
by the defense.
Justice Fitzgerald spent the entire
evening In his chambers awaiting the
pleasure of the jurors.
Two extra court officers were sworn
In shortly after six O'Clock and will
assist the regular court officers in
attending the jury.
All the members of the Thaw fam
trn nj ka
sent out for their dinner rather than
face the crowds who surrounded
the courthouse.
AT 6:46 Justice Fitzgerald an
nounced recess until 8 O'Clock. The
jury at that time lad shown no signs
of reaching an agreement. At 6:5S
Justice Fitzgerald left the courthouse
for dinner. A few minutes later the
jurors started for the Broadway Cen
tral for dinner. In spite of their long
confinement they looked fresh and
were laughing and talking together
when they left the building. Juror
Pink, who was Ill during the day,
looked much better than when he ap.
peared in court yesterday afternoon.
The strain so far does rot seem to
have told particularly on any of the
other Jurors.
When the jurors returned last night
from dinner one of them, John S.
Dennee, No. 10, carried a grip. The
waiting crowd regarded this as an
indication that the jury had either
reached verdict or expected to be
discharged last night.
Thaw was brought over from the
Tombs after dinner and was visited
in the prisoners pen by his mother,
his wife and his siters. The women
seemed greatly fatigued by their
long wait for some definite news from
the jury.
