1t has been estimated that TIE
earnings Of the Klar Piquette mine
during the past year has amounted to
nearly $7O 600. During this period
the company has paid Off an indebt-
edness Of about IS, 600, has paid So, zoo
in dividends and has expended some
thing like s., 900 for repair work and
improved equipment. This has all
been accomplished during an "off "
year for the zinc mining industry
: The new Cleveland mill is
nearly completed < A remark
able showing has been made at the
Board of Trade. In drilling an air
hole the drill passed through forty
two feet Of rich ore bearing ground.
The ore was long ago proven to be
there but it's quality and quantity
were not known < x Judge Glenn
entson s recent disposal of the damage
suit of Simon Cullen VS. the Standard
Zinc Company clears up a point in
law that has often been the subject of
local mining men s arguments. A
miner knowing t1at drift in mine
is dangerous assumes the risk when he
works therein and can not righteously
recover damages for injuries received
there This, however, can not be
taken as an excuse for allowing mines
to remain improperly timbered or IN
an otherwise dangerous condition.
New and improved machinery has
been installed in the Dana Company
local shop. VIM. Morris has charge
of the shop and now owns an interest
in the company,
