Federal Outlook SpecuIstionS.
FLAT RIVER, Oct. IL

FLAT RIVER, Oct. IA
We noticed in last weeks News an
article in regard to the Federal Lead
Co. pulling their diamond drills iuto
the yard and stopping all prospecting
in which the statement is made that
"nineteen drills were pulled in, which
put sixty men out of employment. "
As | happen TO know little of that
kind of work, will say that if the
writer of that article can operate nine
teen drills with only sixty men he
ought to "iill d long felt want" and
find little trouble 10 securing POI
sition with some of the companies as
foreman OF their diamond drill depart.
ment Admitting that the number of
machines pulled in was correctly
stated, and that they run two twelve
hour shifts on each machine (while
some Of the companies work three
cight-hour shifts), four men, two
drilers and two helpers to each OF the
nineteen machines in twenty four
hours would be seventy.siN men.
Nineteen drills would need about four
pumps Con a river or creek to furnish
them water; usually one pump can
supply only four or five drills, so that
would take six or eigh, more men to
run the pumps. That many machines
would require at least four ioremen to
look after them, two diamond settlers
to keep the bits in working order, and
no less than twelve teams could posi-
bly, keep the drills and pumps supplied
with coal aud other supplies necessary
to keep them going SO any one can
see at a glance that the man wko can
run such "bunchn with only sixty
men would be the greatest "find" of
the season.
However, this statement is as near
ly correct as the many rumors that
have been started as to the cause Of SO
many departments of this Company
having been shut down lately. We
have heard that the ore bodies had
"played out" gone "blind," and
that there was nothing more to mine.
We know this is not true, but that
they have practically an unlimited sup
ply of fine ore 1t has been reported
that the Doe Run Lead Co. had bought
the property, also that the Bonnie
rerre Company had bought. We are
not in a position to know about this,
but we cannot imagine why the Fed
eral would want to sell, unless ii would
be simply to abandon this section of
the country and concentrate their en-
crgies elsewhere, as it is we'll known
that this company has vast mining in.

While we must admit that there is
every reason to believe that it would
be q profitable Investment as well as II
good business move, from the view
point of convenience, for either the
Doc Run or Bonnie Terre companies,
we go back to the original statement
and say that person on the outside,
as We are, can see no reason why the
Federal would want to sell. II occurs
to us that much more rational con-
clusion would be that there is some
liquidation and reorganization at the
bottom OF the whole thing, and that it
would open up in 4 month or two as

handy and a little hustle on the part of
the saw mill men,
Next Sunday is Easter and what does
it mean'
To the minister it means preaching
to ears that hear not.
To the husband and father it means
going down into their jeans and dig up
the hard earned cash. Grin and bear
it, is the coincidence we extend.
To the youthful swain it means an
alienation of his sweetheart's affections
for the day.
To the milliner it means the happy
realization of a winters dream.
To the elements, if they be contrary,
it means all the tongue-lashing of a
woman's fury.
To the feminine sex it means a day
long time a-comin', days of happy
anticipation, nights of sweet dreams,
and at last a beautiful climax to weeks
of artful planning.
To the man who loves the good and
the beautiful, it means a day when he
envies not the jewellers in Paradise, for
is it not a day when Queen Sheba in
her gorgeous magnifcence is rivaled
in beauty and splendor. To him it is a
day crowned with woman in all her
loneliness and glory-the prettiest sight
man looks upon.
And to the child it means a colored
egg shell.
