Comparative statement of the
eighteen camps for the week
ending January 10Th.
The zinc ore morket showed a
decided break during the week,
the base price dropping to S42, 50
for the low grades, while the
best grades only brought $45.OO
per ton, of 80 per cent zinc.
Lead price held steady and
even showed some strength at
$500 Z
Spelter dropped to s5.ss, while
pig lead sold at $3.50
The Tennessee Metal Produc-
ing Co., has started to overhaul
its new mill on the Baxter Min
ing Company lands, III order to
increase its capacity and it is
building long tram to the Mas
cote mine from which part of its
ore will be delivered. Several
tons of rich ores are now on the
dump awaiting the completion OF
this tramway. The mill will be
ready for operation within the
next few weeks. New stacks are
being raised on the two boilers.
OH tanks are being set up to
supply the mill and mines with
fuel. This property will be one
Of the steady producers as soon
as started, as it has three shafts
at this mill, while it is prOduc-
ing better than a car a week
from its McAlIister mill, further
down in the camp. .
The Eastman mill has been
out of commission for the past
week on account If an accident

ground development is being
carried right along, in all the
shafts, which will give q large
amount Of broken ore ready for
the mil, as soon as the engine is
fixed.

after seeing the success of this
system.
Negotiations are in progress
for the leasing of the Alabama
mine, on the northwest corner of
the catholic forty, where the ore
has been demonstrated by sew
eral drill holes and a large shaft.
No. 8 shaft of the Big Jack
Mining Company has been put
into operation again. This is
where the richest ore on the
lease has been struck, being al
the deepest poiot of any thing in
the camp. An immense bed was
penetrated at lis feet and show
ed in the drilling to extend to
the Isl foot level. The shaft
sinking is verifying the drill
ings and the ore is showing full
1y as rich as the drillings indi-
Gated.
The Myrtle Mining Company
has developed a large run of ore
to the north of its mill shaft,
which indicates the extension OF
the Mason bed. The mill is
making a good saving and clean
ing the ore we'll. The quality
of the concentrates is very high
reaching as high as 81 per cent
metallic zinc.
The big Lucille mill was put
into commission the past week.
This mill has a capacity of 300
tons in ten hours, and will add
much to the camps when going
at its full capacity. The ground
is not fully opened up yet, not
enough to supply the mill to its
limit at any rate.
ALT. Stamford, Superinten-
dent of the Ottawa Mining Co.,
is overhauling the company'S
mill, and will have it in condi'
ton to go at full capacity the
coming week.
The big Mission mill started
up the past week. A small mis-
hap delayed the grinding Fri
day, but the adjustment was com
pleted and this week it is get

Work on the water pond inter-

fered with the milling of ores at
the Good Luck for a part of the
week; nevertheless a fine Car of
high grade ore was put into the
bin for the time the property was
running. The ore bed at this
property is proving to be of uu-
expected proportions and new
plan of working is being taken
up with a view of changing the
drifts and levels to conform with
the increased quantity of ore en-
countered.
Rebuilding at the Lancaster
mine is being talked of, and no
doubt a new mill will be built
there this spring. A good body
of ore is opened in this mine and
everything is ready for produc-
tion as soon as the mill can be
installed.
Work is being pushed at TIE
Paola. shaft. Several thousand
tons of rich ore are now on the
dump. Drifting in all directions
is being carried forward with
satisfactory results.
At the Mascotte shaft the
Tennessee Metal Producing Co.,
is installing a steam plant and a
large derrick and ore hopper, as
the ores from this mine will be
hauled by tram tothe company's
new mill, for crushing. This is
adding much to the activity OF
this part of the camp.
J. W. Barnes is pushing the
work on the Big Four shaft of
the Sunburst Mining Company
lease. A high grade zinc ore is
being mined at this diggings,
the fine stuff being treated on
hand jigs, while the rough stuff
will be hauled to custom mill
for treatment.
Things are taking on new
shapes at the Oklah mill. The
two new boilers are just about
set, while the addition to the
boiler house is nearing compile
ton. The jigs have been raised
considerably and. the new crush
er frame is completed. An en-
tire new screening system has
been installed, and it is expected
that the mill will be in shape to
start up, at its increased capa-
city, by Mondap, February 9TH.
Four cars of zinc ores are now
in the bin ready for sale at this
property.

Afternoon Affairs.

For card clubs, sewing parties and
the various afternoon festivities to
which group of women are hidden,
new ideas, or slightly different COM
binations from those to which we are
accustomed are always welcome. Try
coffee or chocolate, the latter with
whipped cream, for refreshments, and
either charlotte russes or a salad, with
nut sandwiches. Catalogues filed
with vanilla ice cream are delicious.
If the party is of moderate size,
neither small nor large, it is often
nicer to have the refreshments served
upon the dining-room table. Have q
centerpiece of flowers, with or with
out candles, according to whether the
day is dark and gloomy, or sunny.
You can pour the chocolate from the
table or have it served from kitchen
