From time to time there mas
been some very rich strikes OF
lead and zinc reported from the
Quapaw mining camp, and OF
cource, to those familiar with
this camp, and its possibilities,
these rich strikes are no surprise,
as it is only a full realization
of the prophecies of the most ex-
pert mining engineers OF the
world. The rich strike of zinc in
the Myrtle mine reveals a 2s-foot
face of ore that assays in some
instances as high as 60 per cent
and runt the whole length OF the
drift, making what is considered
by experts to be one of the most
wonderful strikes in the district
for some time.
This coincidence again reveals
the fact that some men are lucky
and some are not lucky, for the
Myrtle Mining Co. had only last
week given to Mr.. o. c. Moore,
president of the Alabama Mining
Co.. an option on their property
at a very low figure, and now Mr..
Moore and his company are re-
jo:cing over their good luck.
1t is the intention of the Ala
bama Mining Co. to operate the
Myrtle mine in connection with
their rich lead mine, and also to
develop the 40 acres OF mineral
land just northwest of the Emma
Gordon at Miami which is also
very rich in mineral. y
The News rejoices with the
Alabama in their good luck and
we feel that good Judgement and
a legitimate expenditure OF
money in this camp will produce
very satisfactory results.

FAITH OF CAPITALISTS
IN THE CITY'S FUTURE

All of these things serve to prove be-
yond peradventure the fact that capital
lists, individually as we'll as corporations
which figure largely in the business life
of the state and nation. have unbounded
confidence in the oft-repeated prediction
that Washington is destined to be in ev-
cry sense Of the phrase the greatest cap
ital in the world. The railroad companies
alone have spent millions of dollars not
conform to the ideas of Congress. as In
the case Of the new Union station. but in
voluntarily improving every feature OF
their service SO that the growing suburbs
on all sides of the city might have ade-
uuate transportation facilities.
Being the most recent addition to the
street railway systems of Washington
the new cars added to the suburban lines
of the Washington Railway and Electric
passing notice. Fifteen cars of the new
type manufactured by the ]. G. Bril-
Company. Philadelphia. were completed
within the current fiscal month for the
washington street railway service. and
some of them are already in operation or
the c. street line and on the Wisconsin
avenue branch which has its Maryland
terminus at Rockville. The cars seem to
be larger in nearly every way than the
cars usually used in suburban service in
and around Washington. Their exterior
appearance Is pleasing and exceptionally
large windows make the lot Of the strap
hangers brigade much more endurable
than in the days when tops of hats and
of heads below and the rows of adver-
Using signs above constituted the entire
outlook.

OUTLAY OF 100000
FOR NEW PIPE LINES

Altogether about five miles Of twelye-incl
and six-inch mains have been placed un-
der ground by the Georgetown company,
and about five miles more remain to he
laid. About $50 men are being EMPLOYED
continuously, and they lay pipe at an
average rate of GOO feet day. The week
ly payroll alone for the labOrers is be-
tween $1,000 and $500, and it has been
estimated the extension, when completed,
will have cost upward of $4,000.
That business men appreciate the value
of the extensions of the public utilities
Of the city is evidenced by the develop
ment along the new line authorized by
Congress to be constructed by the Capital
Traction Company along Florida avenue
to Sth street northeast. and thence south
ward to a junction with the present
tracks Of the company at Sth street and
Pennsylvania avenue southeast. For many
years the growth of the residence and
business sections along the line Of Florida
avenue has been none too rapid, because
many portions of the avenue were COM
paratively remote from street car service
Now the Capital Traction Company has

at several points along the line. At the

da avenue northwest Mr.. William G.

has built seven new stores, all of which
have been rented to merchants in divers
