sideration by the owners.

alton, and is giving good salts
faction. Hood Imp. Co. built
the mill, and did good jobof it.
This is another new producer
added to the camps production
which is growing so rapidly.
This property has had a most
conservative and capable man
agement from the start, and the
fact that it is now in fine con-
dition for a splendid production
simply verihes the kind of man
agement which wins out. 1t is
generally conceded, by all the
mining men in camp, that this
property has been put into oper-
alton, at a less outlay of money
for the amount of equipments
installed and development done
than any other like property in
the camp, and it only shows that
with careful management, that
such mines can be put into oper-
alton at minimum cost.
Work is being pushed on the
finishing of the Big Mission mill,
and it is confidently expected
that it will be put into operation
this month. This installation
while being the largest, is like
wise a new system of treating
the ores and is attracting the at
tention of all parties interested
in this district, as many are wait
ing to see the work of this mill,
that they may follow its con-
Struction.

Production for Sc weeks.
1t will be noted that this dis
trict stood third place for the
weeks sales, only Webb City-Car-
terville and Joplin leading it.
The Baxter-Miami district is
pushing hard for third place in
the above comparative list, as the
past week it produced $4,64s.OO
more mineral than Galena, which
now holds the third place, just
leading it. At this rate it will
distance Galena the coming year.
Zinc ore price has held firm at
$50 base, for 60 per cent zinc,
while lead price showed some
strength, being So to $54 per
ton. With the advance in pig
lead the price of lead ore should
have a decided advance in the
near future.
Two cars of zinc ores we're
loaded from the White Eagle
mill, on the Eastman Investment
Co.'S land. A steady production
is being made at this property.
The new development at shafts
No. 2 and 3 is being pushed with
satisfactory results. The big ore
body to the west continues to
show up very we'll and is giving
every evidence of being Perman'

A steady production of 6 to
8 tons per day Is being made at
the Good Luck mine, and the

is the result of only eleven men
e uployed at this mine, 1t can
be appreciated the profit that

of the mine. It is proposed to
increase the capacity of this mill
so as to enable it to handle 400 to

The underground development

solution of all the properties in

Mr.. Fouts of Wichita, Kansas,

The Myrtle mine is being

put into first class condition, pre-
paratory to putting the property
into the producing list as soon
as possible.
Work on the Mason mill is
now completed and this valuable
property will be started up at
once. With the Myrtle to the
north and the Lucille to the west,
the starting of the Mason will
make things very active in this
part of the camp.
Everything is in readiness at
the Lucille mill to start up as
soon as the Mason starts its
pumps, which will assist in
pumping off the head of water

CLUB ROOMS FOR YOUNG MEN.
A proposition was presented to the
Carnegie Library board by several
business men and educators Of this,
city at q meeting OF that board Mon
day afternoon, towards the securing Of
the use Of the basement If the library
for the Young Mems club. The plan
would be to hx up the basement 60 as
to comprise billiard and pool room,
q shower bath. and gymnasium. The
library grounds could be convered into
q tennis court and q croquet grounds.
a board OF directors, composed of
several business men, would nave
supervision over the proposed innova-
tlon and see that 1t was handled IN q
business-like manner. The club
would most likely be required to bear
it's share of expense Of the building
for heating, lighting, water and
janitor. but it is thought that q
small fee, charged for membership,
would cover these expenses.
Although nothing definite was
decided by the library board at this
meeting, 1t is understood that the
members OF the board are favorable to
the new project.
The board will probably meet next
week to act on this matter.
