The Heap-O'Brien Mining Co.
has its new mill all ready to
start grinding ore this week.
Two shafts have been developed
at this property, both showing
the same bed of n feet Of rich
lead and zinc ores. Many drill
holes have been sunk on this
lease, all of which showed a uni
form bed--o ore. The operations
that have been carried on, enable
the property to deliver the mill
ample ore to keep it going from
the start. This company owns
its land in fee, '.:and is one OF the

to see it under operation again.
Being the farthest to the west it
only verifies the drillings to the
west. of it, done at the Quapaw
town we'll, where the Baxter
Royalty Co. demonstrated an
immense ore deposit at 1873 feet
from the surface.
The Big Mission Mill looms up
in the distanpe like a ship in a
Fog" and the size begins to inn
press itself on you, as you enter
the building, where the large
Foust Automatic Jigs are in place
the large rolls are being Install
ed as we'll as the crushers and
elevators. The steam plant has
two boilers set with two more
places for a like number. Two
compressors, with a capacity OF
IA drills are now in place. The
engine bed is awaiting the big
Corliss engine which is on the
cars at Quapaw station and will
be delivered this week. The
1000 ton hopper is completed and
the holster house and derrick
are now being finished up. The
big shaft 6 feet by IS feet is COM
pleted and ready for the hosting
apparatus. Mr.. Oils, superin-
tendent, is confident the whole
plant will be in operation by the
Holidays. This will be the test
ing out of a new system in this
field, on a large scale and is be-
ing watched with much interest
by all the operators, as its sue
cess means the starting of a new
epoch in mill building In the en-
tire southwestern lead and zinc
district.
Plahs are being formulated by
the Omaha-P Petersburg Mining
Co. for the further prospecting
of its 100 acre tract, just to the
north of the Mission mine forty,
on which it has two large shafts
and a 200 ton mill, that is turn
ing out 8 to 10 tons of high grade
concentrates per day.
Eighteen of the Leading Dis
tricts reporting for the past "a
weeks, show the above results.
1t will be noted, that the Baxter
Miami District keeps gaining
steadily on Galena, closing up
the difference at such a rapid
rate, that with a short time 1t
will crowd it out of Third"
place, leaving only two districts
between it and first place on the
list. Even Joplin will have to
look to its production, if it ex-
poets to keep ahead of Baxter.
Miami District, as the latter
turned in SIS. Az, as compared
with Joplint$47. 747., taking in
consideration the age of the two
Districts another two years will
see Baxter-Miami leading so
great a producer as Joplin.
Price of zinc remains strong
at s51 to $50 per ton of 80 per
cent zinc.
Lead is dragging to some ex-
tent, the prevailing prices being
$50. to $50. for so per cent lead.
The head market is a puzzler to
the producers, but, no doubt, is
as clear as day to the Shelters.
The only reason for the present
condition of lead prices, is rank

prospected cuttings from which
were then reported to be the
richest found in the camp. It
would seem from the amount of
concentrates being made at this
mill, that this report was correct,
and that with the further min
ing in these directions that this
property will show up to be the
Banner" producer of the camp,
in this section. This mine is on
the Baxter Royalty Co.'S land, of
this city.
Shaft No.. 2 of the Big Jack
Mining Co. has been put into
commission again, and this re-
lieves the work of Training the
dirt to the mill from shaft No. 8
which is some distance to the
south. Lots of high grade ore is
being made at this property.
The Tennessee Metal Produc-
ing Co. is making good turn
out each day, at the McAllister
mill. Shaft No. 2 was broken
through to the drift below Sat
urday last. This give addition
air and will allow the shaft sink
ing crew to be added to the min
ing gang this week. LATE Grit
fifth superintendent, says he will
be able to deliver 800 cans per
shift to the mill from this on.
The gang of carpenters work
ing at the Mason Mill got
through last week and the pumps
were started Monday, and the
mill will be put into commission
this week. This will add another
producer to the camps long list.
The ore deposit at this property
is something over 80 feet in thick
ness and runs rich in both lead
and zinc.
The big mill on the Lucille
lease to the west of the Mason is
now completed and will be put
into operation at once. Milton
and Wiggington, of Webb City
built this mill and it is one of the
best constructed mills in the
camp. 1t has a capacity of 300
tons per shift and is well equipped
throughout.
The Banner" mine of the
camp is the Good Luck for the
amount of ore milled as well as
cheapness of operation. The
more mining is done the larger
the amount of ore in sight be-
comes, and the better the quality
of the ore groves. Last week,
at the annual meeting of the
company, the directors declared
a 20 per cent dividend, in addi-
ton to returning to the stock
holders their original invest
ment. The property has been
under operation about one year,
and is reported to be in better
condition than at any time in its
existence. This is a most re-
markable showing, and it no
doubt WILDE duplicated BY many
other of the mines in the camp,
as they get under full develop
meut. This property joins the
Suuburst lease to the southeast
and Omaha and Hobo tOthe east.
The Hannibal and ST. Joe, now
being operated BY the Ottawa
Mining Co. is unwatered and
some fine lead and zinc ores are
being miiled. Tits is a splsn-

WORK ON MILWAUKEE
...... At new ENGLAND
From the Hettinger County Herald of

From the Hettinger County Herald of
July %.
Things have been moving in the rail-
road line the past week and the people
in this vicinity have seen what they
have been LOOKING forward to for q long
time. Every squad of surveyors that
visited this place have given a certain
amount of encoul aGement but it was
the graders that everybody wanted to
see. While the majority were confident
that the railroad would be in this fall
there were quite q number who would
not be satisfied until the graders we're
on the ground and the work commenced.
Contractor McCann and his outfit con-
sisting of a good bunch Of. teams. sew
eral machines and twenty-iv w men
arrived from the south Wednesday
evening. Mr.. McCann's contract with
the C. M. & St. P. is for the IL miles
running southeast from New England
and he will make the dirt fly until the
grade is completed. Three surveyors,
whose work is to set the grade stakes
and see that the proper grade is made.
arrived from Reeder the first of the week
and had a good line on the work before
the GRADERS showed up.
Both the Milwaukee and N. P. have
men on the ground buying riGht-of-way
and so the people are still guessing.
F. N. Webster Of Milwaukee. agent
for the Milwaukee is buying m. the line
where the grading has been commenced
and those who make deals with him
will have their cash in a short time as
the land bargained for will be torn up
by the graders in a few days. G. B.
Walker of St. Paul, agent for the N. p,
arrived Monday and commenced buying
right-of way along what is known as
the Northern Pacific's old survey, which
practically parallels the Milwaukee,
line. Some of the farmers near town
have sold right-of ways to both roads.
At the present time the N. P. have sur
veyors running a line west from Mott,
going north of the Tepees and south of
the Rainy buttes. to the Bad Lands and
it is the fact that the agent is buying
right-of-way in New England that keeps
everybody guessing.
EARLY in the week it was almost con-
ceded that the N. P. would build on
the new survey which runs just about
seven miles south of New England but
since they are buying right-of-way on
the old survey it seems more than pro-
bable that New England will have two
roads.
