Our Oxide and Acid Plants.

j. II. Lewis, writing for this week 3
Monday Free Press of Milwaukee, on
the subject of Wisconsin Lead and
Zinc Fields, treats on the Mineral
Point oxide and acid plants as follows:
while there is little actual mining.
that is on a large scale, in the immedi-
ate vicinity Of Mineral Point, that city
plays most important part in the
mining affairs Of the entire Wisconsin
field The New Jersey Zinc company.
commonly known as the Mineral Point
Zinc company. rushing to completion
its big furnaces and is offering a con-
st ant and satisfactory market to most
If the low grade producers in this field.
4, is the opinion that the plant will be
ready to go into commission about the
first of next May. A large force of
helpers is now employed at the oxide
works. but the new plant will require a
largely augmented force of workmen.
The warehouse capacity has been in
creased to so, coo barrels. The product
finds a ready demand and during the
busy season which lasts well into the
summer shipments running as high as
five carloads per day The bag rooms
give employment to many in addition
to force of women, who are kept
busy making the bags out Of unbleached
domestic, Of which thousands Of yards
are used monthly. The cooperage de-
partment employs many high grade
men.

few years ago at enormous cost has
been partially idle for the past three

Per arrangement Mr.. John F. Icke,
city engineer of Madison, was in Min
eral Point last Saturday and studied
the problem of street improvement from
the depot to the M. E church. After
quite thorough investigation in COM
pany with a number of our city officials,
Mr.. Icke decided that macadamization
with asphalt filling and properly rolled,
would be as good as any considering
the grade. The estimated cost was
from Sl2, 900 to $13, 600. This will APP
pear as a big sum to most of our citi-
zens no doubt, but no modern and sub
stantial system was suggested as being
cheaper. A good brick paving would
cost nearly twice as much, it is said.
The action of our common council is
next in order.

Public School Notes.

Through an unfortunate oversight no
mention was made last week of the
Junior play given Friday evening,
March 10, at the high school.
An audience of about four hundred
listened with rapt attention through
out the entire program and went away
Stirling the praises Of the Juniors.
imost every one in the class of thir-
ty-eight took part and yet, through the
ca. nest work of the juniors and the
patient, persistent efforts of Miss
Pierce, the evenings entertainment
went off without single error.
the junior quartet and the sailor
boys surprised the audience with their
singing. Mrs. Pringle has reason TO
feel gratifed with the public work
done by her pupils.
The juniors feel grateful to all who
assisted them in the entertainment.
Schultz's orchestra, the Meneley quar-
tet, and Miss Nettie Wallis very kindly
assisted with the music, while Miss
Henrietta Kane of the senior class add
ed pleasing variety by giving The
Reconsidered Verdict.
The receipts were $40 which will 60
towards defraying the expenses OF
commencement week.
Roy Curnow of Spring Green was a
caller Monday forenoon.
Linden failed to appear Friday eve.
ming so we put on two inter-class
games of basket ball. The sophomores
defeated the juniors first and then the
seniors.

LIBRARY AFFAIRS PREcARIoUS
Commercial Club Recommends by Res
ol,tion that the City Take Charge.

Under date of March Is, Mrs. Annie
Nj. Chase and Miss Mary r. Gundry,
president and ecretary-treasurer re
spectively of the Mineral Point Public
Library, in presenting statistics to the
Commercial Club for consideration say
that after sixteen years of work and
the accumulation of over 5000 books,
including a good collection of reference
books, we feel that the library is on a
very precarious foundation, and always
will be until taken over by the city. =
These officials, representing the ladies'
composing the library association, con-
cluded with They have therefore de-
cided, at the end of the official year,
June 80, 1911, to sever their connection
with the library.
Whereupon, the Commercial Club on
Monday evening, the goth, expressed
by resolution the opinion that the ladies
having generously offered to turn the
library over to the city free of cost,
the city ought to accept, and duly petit
toned the mayor and common council
to adopt such measures as would bring
about this result.
A recent visit to this city by Helen
7. Kennedy of the Wisconsin Library
Commission resulted in the conclusion
tl,at there was no Improvement, no
growth, nothing encouraging; every
thing at a standstill. 1t was her opin-
ion that the city should take over the
library 80 that it could be run on
broader and better way than ever be-
fore
From these conditions it seems quite
evident that the city will have to take
charge of the library or it will be
thing of the past, 1t is estimated that
at least $1,000 a year would be re-
quired.

against the company, it being charged
that the fumes from the plant destroyed
trees and shrubbery. How well found
ed these claims may have been the
commercial club at least showed the
proper spirit in taking the matter UNI
der consideration. This no doubt has
encouraged the New Jersey Zinc COM
pany to resume the manufacture of
commercial sulphurie acid, and it is re-
ported that when the oxide furnaces
are well under way that big force of
men will again find employment at the
acid works, probably about August l.

or IRRIGATION
IN THE GOLDEN STATE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Director
Durand has issued the first official
statement from the Bureau of the
Census Department of Commerce and
Labor, relative to the statistics on ir-
rigation in California. 1t is based on
preliminary comparative summary
submitted by DR.. lie Grand Powers,
chief statistician for the division of
agriculture in the Bureau of the Cen
sus, under whose supervision it was
prepared by, r. P. Teele. special agent
in charge Of irrigation. 1t should be
noted that the figures are subject to
revision, after more complete tabula-
ton, but it is not expected that there
will be any material modification of
the totals or percentages reported.
The total number of farms irrigated
in 1909 was. 1882, against 25,675 in
1899, an increase of 1857, or 53.3 per
cent. Between 1899 and 1909 the num-
Der of all farms in the state increased
PIG per cent. The per cent irrigated
of the whole number of farms in 1909
was 44.6. In 1899 the per cent was
35.4, showing an increase in per cent
of go during the 10 years.
The total acreage irrigated in 1909
was 1884 104 acres, against 1,446,l IA
acres in 1899, an increase of 1,217,990
acres, or S4.2 per cent. The total
capable of irrigating in 1910 was s.
619,37S acres, an excess of 955,214
acres over the area irrigated in 1909.
The area included in projects either
completed or under construction in
1910 was 5,49Ofi360 acres. an excess
of 2,S26,256 acres. This indicates in
a general way the area which will
be available within the next few years
for the extension of irrigation, and
shows that the area irrigated in 1909
can be more than doubled without the
construction of additional works.
The number of Independent enter
prises reported in 1910 was 1890. The
total length of all bitches was 21,129
miles, of which 1889 miles were in
main canals and $3.50 miles in laterals.
The length of main canals reported in
1899 was 5.1O6 miles. showing an in
crease in the 10 years of Z ,493 miles, or
1867 per cent. The number of reser-
voirs reported was 1,604, having COM
bined capacity of 743,269 acre-feet.
The number of wells pumped for if
rigation was 1910, and the number
of all pumping plants was 9,267. The

~ EES FEW SPOTS

y It is an almost inevitable tend
ency for party politics to become con-
centrated in few hands, but it is to be
regretted that this tendency is so soon
apparent in the progressive wing
of the Republican party in California
Taking the newspaper columns as a
guide, it would appear that this wing
of the party consists of about halt
dozen persons, whose names are con-
tinuously on exclusive exhibition. This
is said regretfully, for vast good mas
been done by these men and more
good can be looked for if it is pos
sible to hold the cooperation OF the
progressive voters of the state. But
that cooperation cannot be held with
out giving the people of the state rea-
son to feel that they are parties to
the states progressive tendencies.
There have been reasons heretofore
for a feeling in the interior that the
state administration was able to see
but few spots on the state map, and
now the act of Governor johnson in
making up a delegation of twenty four
men to represent Southern California
at the Good Roads convention in Phoe-
nix entirely of Los Angeles and San
Diego residents is awakening criti-
cism. San Bernardino, Riverside and
Imperial counties, neXtdoor neigh
bors of Arizona, are not represented
in the delegation. Commenting ON this,
the San Bernardino Sun says:
Can it be there are no good roads
in San Bernardino or Riv-
erside counties? Governor Johnson
has Just named twenty-four delegates
from California to attend the South
western Interstate Good Roads con-
vention, to be held at Phoenix, Decem-
Der 30 He named twelve from Los
Angeles county, nine from San Diego
and the three State Highway Commits
sioners. Can it be there are no in
surging good roads people in either
Riverside or San Bernardino coun-
ties?"
