SPRING Will SEE
MUCH ACTIVELY
The Business Outlook for the Com
ing Season is Bright ana
Business Men Look For
the Best.
CITY AS A METROPOLIS
keokuk Will Continue to Grow
and be One of the Largest
Cities in the Section in
Short Time.

Never before in the history of Keo-
kuk has the outlook for new and
prosperous new year been SO good as
it is at the present time and never
before has the outlook for the business
men and men of every walk of life
been so good as it is now and the fu-
ture for the city is a bright one.
Several months time will see COM
plete change in the business and build
ing world for Keckuk and the city
will be alive with the work of improv-
| ing, building and planning for larger
Keokuk and continuous and healthy
C"owth.
With the enlarging of local business
will come the call for more and bet
ter interurban and railway service
which will come as sure as the sun
/ rises in the east and sets in the vest
/ though there will be no setting and the
city will continue to grow and to
] build and be one of the prominent
cities of the west in times that will
come and are not far distant. With
| the connecting of Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri to ms adjacent to Keokuk a
new and desirable class of trade will
be brought to keokuk merchants and
partly through the means of the inter
urban which is enlarging business and
causing towns rapid growth the coun-
try over will Keokuk grow.
In this city of $4,000 inhabitants 95
per cent of the people who make this
beautiful city their home, earn their
bread in this city by one means or an
other. Keokuk is city of factories,
of manufactures and jobbing houses
that continue to increase in size as the
months roll by and with the coming of
the water power and the outlook for the
present year in business circles so
bright the city of Keokuk should be
one of the best known on the upper
Mississippi in two short years.
! Keokuk can easily lay claim to the
largest cereal plant in the world, the
plant running night and day and con
tinuing to increase it's force which is
numbered by the hundreds each day
and the growth CT this largest one OF
Keokuk's manufactures is steady and
gives employment to large per cent
OF the working men of Keokuk.
Among ether institutions which EN-
lploy scores Of workingmen are the
Ifoundries, machine shops, planning
mills, creamery, powder mills and 9TH
err institutions that the experiencing
at the present time continued steady

The city has an excellent lighting
system which it is intended shall be
improved and meet the demands OF
the public, an excellent sewage sys.
TEN keeps the city in healthy con.
dition and the walks of the city and
the highways are among the things
which make the heart of the Keokuk
ian swell with pride.
The many large and beautiful pub

residences are things of beauty and
not to be surpassed by any city of the

poas on Exhibition.

Aside from poultry, comes under
another head, pet stock, includ-
ing principally. dogs, and it is hoped
that this year more interest will be
taken in the exhibition by dog fan
ciers and make this one of the most
interesting departments of the show.
Last year there were no dogs on
exhibition but this year it is hoped
that breeders of fine dogs can be
persuaded to take an interest and
make this department fine one.
There are a number of persons in
the city who are the possessors of fine
dogs and many from adjacent towns
in the three states who would take in
terest in an exhibition of this kind.
There will likely be two judges at
the exhibition this year though they
have not yet been decided on. The
dates will probably be the same as
they were last year and ie the in
tention of those connected with the
association to make the show this
year the best given in this part of the
country in times past.

Work has been resumed on the
property of the Tam O'Shanter
Mining company in the Osborne
section. The present tunnel is
in about 200 feet and a contract
for 100 feet of additional work

face and through this ran a
streak of about 10 inches of high
grade gray copper ore carrying
values in lead and assaying as
high as 240 ounces in silver to
the ton. 1t is believed that a
big body of ore will be exposed
before the completion of the
present contract.
The property consists of eight

timbers and the ladders put in
place. The contract for thiswork
was held by Peter Kau and as

The new contract for which
bids were being advertised on
the property of the Government
Gulch Mining & Development
company has been awarded to
Guy Martin and James Hanna
walt of Kellogg. The shaft has
been sunk to depth of 100 feet
and the new contract calls for an
additional 100 feet of sinking
and 100 feet of drifting on the
vein. The completion of this
work will give a depth of IT'S
feet below the "96" tunnel of
the Federal Mining & Smelt-
ing company, which first exposed
the ore in the Government Gulch
property.
It is the intention to rush the
work to completion as fast as
possible and two shifts have been
employed. The property adjoins
the holdings of the Federal Min
ing & Smelling company at
Wardner on the east. The mine
is fully equipped with hoist and
pumps. Development is being

IDAHO lEAD.s|LvER CO. WORK

The 100-foot contract let some
time ago on the property of the
Idaho Lead-Silver Mining COM
pany has just been completed
and arrangements are being made
to let another at once. The tun-
mel has been driven 1876 feet and
so to rs feet more work will have

SILVER CROWN TESTING ORE

A test shipment Of Is tons of
ore has been made from the prop
erty of the Silver Crown Mining
company to the smelter at Ts-
coma. The ore is divided into
three classes and the principal
object of the shipment is to
give the management an exact
idea of what the mine is capable
of doing in the way of shipments
and to provide data on which to
base a method of sorting.
A number of men are employ
ed on development and in sack
ing and sorting ore which has
already been blocked out. The
ore carries values in silver and
lead with some gold.
The property is on Granite
creek on the Montana side Of the
divide and has been developed
by two tunnels in each Of which
a good showing of ore has been
made. If the returns from the
test shipment are satisfactory it
is believed that the expense of
development can be met by the
ore taken out as the work pre-
crosses.
