The Mineral Point zinc works,
giving employment to over $40 men
of that city is to be removed to
Illinois, in order that it may be
nearer the oil fields of that state.
The acid plant is to remain but not
perm nently. The loss of the zinc
works is a sad blow to Mineral
Point, as it has been for years a
leading industry. If another is
established in the zinc district it
will probably be located further
south, nearer the heart of the zinc
fields, in the vicinity Of Cuba City
or Benton.
A great deal of dissatisfaction
is beng expressed by the travelling
ON0I lDC III ALN
schedule of the evening train. The
old arrangement by which the train
arrived at $3.50 was much more
satisfactory than the present hour
of arrival which is 6:35. Travelling
men say that they lose at least q
day as a result of this schedule.
There is lots of time killing done
anyway on that trip from Montfort
to Lancaster. The evening train
might Just as well arrive in Lancas
ter at 5:35 as at 6:35.
