news FROM MISSOURI :
Our Mineral Wealth.

sourians, and Americans generally,

mineral wealth of the state, far in
advance of what 1t popularity Is sup
posed to be. The report we shall pub
lish next spring will surprise the coun-
try concerning Missouri's in
coal, iron and structural materials.
1T is a long and difficult task. Some
reports will be ready soon, but others
may take years in the making. One
man now Is working in the northwest
part of the state, above Kansas City,
locating and mapping the oil and gas
areas. Two others are in the south
west part, mapping the lead and zinc
districts that lie between Carthage
and Aurora, about 500 square miles in
extent. Iron ores now are found in
AS counties and in 600 different depos-
its; a report is to be issued ext fall,
recording the kinds of ore and the
sections of their occurrence Take the
coal areas alone. Our report Will
show $4,000 square miles of what we
term coal measures lying in 20 coun-
ties. The work to be done and now
in progress includes a detailed study
Of the fields in every county, with
figures concerning the thickness and
occurrence of the seams and the grade
Of the coal. Studies. of the principal
mining districts in the large also will
be given. Copper, cobalt and nickel
are found in. Southwest Missouri; last
year Missouri was the only state pro-

Boy Hero Rescues a Woman.

But for the heroism of Kenneth Nor
gan, the 1~1-year-old son of w. e. Nor
gan of Joplin, Miss Erwin Mclean, a
Joplin school teacher, would have been
drowned in Shoal creek. The two were
members of a picnic party composed
OF members of the Central Christian
church Sunday school. Miss Mclean,
with a number of other young women,
was bathing. A better Swimmer than
the others, she ventured too far from
the shore and was seized with cramps.
Her cries for help attracted young
Morgan's attention. He was the only
boy or man within several hundred
yards. Without waiting to discard his
shoes or clothing, he plunged into the
stream and dragged the almost uncon-
scious girl to the bank.
