Mineral Point Mining Notes

From the budget of notes on mining
conditions in the Wisconsin lead and
zinc fields, compiled by J. H. Lewis for
last Mondays Milwaukee Free Press,
are excepted the following touching
on Mineral Point:
THE Tripoli Mining company is now
operating on body Of zinc ore making
in solid sheet formation. The only
drawback at present is insufficient sup
ply of water for concentrating purposes
but this will be overcome as quickly as
possible. The ore finds a ready market
at the Mineral Point Zinc Works.
The Merry Christmas Mining COM
pany is shut down and reports are that
negotiations are on foot for the sale of
the mine, land and equipment. The
property is owned by wholesale cheese
merchants of Chicago, who purchased
the fee to the forty-five acres of land,
and equipped with plant involving an
outlay of about $4,000 The mine
made very good showing last season.
'The Hoare Lead and Zine company
sold out some time ago but the new
management has not undertaken the
active operation Of the mine to date.
The John Ross Mining company which
has been producing consistently for the
past three years has not resumed. The
Harris Mining company with full equip
ment remains idle The Liverpool
mine also remains shut down although
fully equipped with an Allis-Chalmers
plant. Most of these mines are good
producers.
"The big oxide works are rapidly
nearing completion Four blocks of
furnaces will be put into commission
when all is in readiness for ore con-
sumption, twelve double compartment
furnaces to the block. At present 300
men find employment here but the new
plant will call for a much larger force.
No attempt is being made to restore
the acid works but in the event this
part Of the plant is again put into com
mission at least 200 men will be re-
quired here alone. A two years sup
ply of oxide ores is now stacked I'D on
the grounds surrounding the new
works. -

Not satisfied with an invention that
will photograph the coins in your peck

tendencies; with an invention that will
show exactly how the bones should lie,
tucked away within the surrounding
muscles and concealed by the all cover

yentor TO charge himself with the in
vention of camera that will place
upon the photograph plate the very in
nermost thoughts of man.
If this invention be in truth an in
vention it only needs snap shot at
tachment for it to wipe away the last
thing between an innocent people and a
great destiny. For with such an i'm
plement in the hands of the people the
greatest questions of life are answered.
With it comes political purity with
out the interposition of such things as
the recall, or other modern devices for
the protection of the people from the
schemes and ambitions of the over the

quick engineers must vanish without
the aid of the postoflice inspectors.
With il the continuous performance
upon the innocent and unsophiscated
not to say trusting heart of the gentle
maiden will lower its curtain With it
the detectives life will be one merry
round of push the button. With it the
age Of deception and deceit will end.

Quoted IN a little more roundabout
fashion than of old.
The Pennsylvania and Lake Shore
roads are among those which begged
last year for an advance in freight
rates. They told the interstate com
merce commission how imperative was
the need Of the revenue a rate increase
would give them. While they were
pleading poverty they were, if the
charges Of the government are true
throwing away part of their revenues
in rebates. Their officers said the
roads were run with the strictest re
gard to economy, but a management
which pays rebates must have queer
ideas Of economy. These great roads
will be in most unenviable position i
the indictments are followed by con
viction.
1t is not so easy for roads to pay re
bates now, because of the more effec
tive control of their business by the in
terstate commerce commission. Blu
Relating is of such long standing tina
it is not easily rooted out For tn
present, at least, the agents of tn
government will have to be always o.
the lookout for new and devious re
bate schemes.

THE REBATE INDICTMENTS.

Chicago Tribune.
The Indictments returned against the
Pennsylvania, the Lake Shore, and
some other roads for robating are a
disagreeable surprise. The general be-
lief has been that that particular kind
of law breaking was over and done
with. Railroad managers have said
that it was. They have told how hap
ply they were to be in position where
they could defy the shippers who de-
manded illegal favors If the indicted
roads shall be found guilty we shall

1t has remained for a Texas farmer
to discover an entirely new "jag pro-
Queer, says The Atlanta Journal. Ac-
cording to the statement of a man
making the discovery, the person who
takes aboard package of this new
stimulant wants to be joyful, climb
trees and play pranks. When one par
takes there is no danger of getting hold
of the bottle with fights in it. For
some time well-known farmer, recog-
nized as one of the leading 'drys" of
the state, had noticed that number of
the hands on his place appeared unusu-
ally hilarious. He went out where his
men were engaged in removing green
feed from a silo. After working about
this for time and breathing the fumes
from it he discovered that he wanted to
dance, play tag with his men, and go
through all those unusual capers char
acteristic of those who took on board
too much Of the principal product of
Kentucky Realizing that the entire
force Of men were quite as intoxicated
as himself he stopped the work for
time and all were soon in their normal
condition. A second attempt to take
the contents from the siio brought on
another jagged condition of the entire
crowd, thus convincing the farmer that
as a modern and cheap boozatorium a
silo is the latest thing out.

TINS legislature may not pass the bill
which has been reported to the assem-

passage for a twu months open season
for deer The idea was in offering the
bill that it would lessen the number Of
hunters who would collect in the woods
at the same time, but the opponents
say that the real result which would
obtain would be that few hunters
would stay in the woods for two
months and that there would be very
little lessening 81 the number Of hunt
ers in the northern timber during the
initial days for the open season for
deer. Just how the deer hunting law
will be amended cannot yet be said

Ir was Assemblyman Mcconnell who
placed the last spoke in the wheel
which ran over the bill which, had it
become a law, would have permitted
the punishment of the salaries of state
employees Mr. Mcconnell, upon eX-
animation Of the bill, decided that if it
became a law it would permit the tying
up Of city funds by garnishment to
protect possible judgments in unde-
termined personal injury cases, The
garnishment of municipal funds for the
advance protection of such possible
judgments, Mr. Mcconnell believed,
might work a great hardship to cities
and he raised hts voice strongly against
the proposed bin upon the floor. The
vote was close boy which the bin was
finally disposed of but the measure was
finally given am irrevocable indefinite
postponement Some Of the employees
around the capitol are very much
pleased that this bill has finally been
put beyond the pale of advancement.

The bill which provides for fiat re-
duction of 25 per cent Of the express
charges in the state, although it came
in late in the session, is the subject Of
a great deal of attention and will likely
be the subject of warm battle on the
floor of the assembly and will probably
pass that house aud possibly also the
senate There is a general feeling that
express charges in this state should be
reduced and this is strengthened by the
fact that other states have lessened
their charges for the carriage Of ex-
press by legislation such as is now pre-
posed in Wisconsin.
