camp near Engle, N. NJ, who was a
clerk in 1907 in the office of Horace
B. Stevens, was called as a witness

Preach the word; be instant in sea-

after their own lusts shall they heap

And they shall turn away their ears

But watch thou in all things, endure
Affections, do the work of an evange-

For I am now ready to be offered,

I have fought a good fight. I have

Henceforth there is laid up for me
a crown of righteousness, which the

winter.
The Franklin Mining company, oper

probably suspend operations, when Sc

The Wallace Mining company espe-

the sale of two cars of ore weekly.
One thing seems absolutely certain
and that is the completion of the big es-
tablishment at Mineral Point for the
reduction of zinc oxide will call for
heavy mining operation in the Highland
camp. The manufacture of oxide from
dry bone. facilitates the rapid handling
of the ore in the new plant and in max

in the absorption of oxygen, hence the
big force and suction drafts in the pro-
cess of manufacture and to one of ore

noted.

of land of known mineral value in this
