The Petersburg mill is running
right steadily these days, and
the ore made is of high quality.
The Good Luck has its bins
full of ore, and is shut down to
await better prices. The ore
made at this mine is high grade,
and should command a big price.
The Mission is running very
steadily and is making lots of
ore each shift. Three cars of
ore were sold last week, and
there is perhaps four or five car
loads in the bins.

The market for zinc ores last
week remained practically on the
same level as that of the previous
week, 90 per cent zinc blend
bringing S37 to $40 per ton for
car lots. with a high settling
price of SAB. There was a large
hole made in the surplus stocks
in a number of the camps, and
with the close of last weeks bus
mess there remained very few
big piles of ore that are on this
market or even on a market much
higher than that now prevailing.
Calamine ores have not changed
to any appreciable extent, the
base price of 40 per cent zinc
holding to SO to So per ton.
Throughout the district there
is tendency to alter the charac-
ter of mining operations, pro-
ducers changing from production
to development and prospecting
rather than outputting ore. The
present low prices of zinc ore, as
have previous periods of low
prices, have stimulated prospect
ing in a remarkable degree,
while large milling properties
are closed down entirely or con-
fine their operations to opening
up ore reserves, repairs and gen.
eral development work. The
lack of demand for labor sends
the miners to prospecting on
their own account, and a new
corps of mines is eventually the
result of a really difficult Situa-
ton. Even adversely has its
bright side in the mining indus
try in this field.
While the lead ore market
held its own, there was no up
ward tendency manifested and
producers were unable to realize
more for their product than $50
to $50 for their 80 per cent grades.
In spite of the curtailment and
the evident drawing upon the
smelter ore stocks, the different
competitors for the Joplin lead
ores held their bids down though
scraping the fed over for every
available ton that could be Sc
cured at the offered prices. The
situation is tense and interesting,
Offering the ore producers of the
district the only semblance of
real competition that it has had
for some time.

Route No. a.;
(By Raw Hand)


our glorious country to the north
and south. This time we will
finish up on the country and
spin off" on other lines.
Just three miles to our east we
cross the state line into SHOW
Me-" but before you cross the
"Show Me" line and a little to
the north is what a noted Indian
calls "Hell's Half Acre" one Of
the most noted places on our map.
According to the basis of reason
ing by great men" the above
mentioned tract of land is grad
ually slipping to the south. The
placid waters of Big Five Mile
touch its borders. The people
who live on and near the land
are the most independent set you
ever met. If one does a piece of
cussedness all he has to do is to
step over into "Show Me" land
or into Sunny Kansas and the
game is called. You 60 to bed
at night, having a legal lease
and wake up next morning know
ing assuredly that you slept on
your rights and are rooted out.
When one of the inhabitants is a
friend he "sticketh closer than a
BROTHER" but when he is not for
you woe be into you"
We have not told the half, yet
the half has not and can never
be told.
Over west of US across Spring
river we come to the Land OF
Mines" where fortunes are made
and spent. Here we see the big
mills which grind the mineral
lied rock into dust and separate
it from the mineral. To the
north and south of the Land of
Mines" we pass out into a vast
expanse of prairie where the
busy husbandmen are raising
wheat, corn, fax, hay, oats, bar
ley, potatoes, garden stuff and
Sam Hill. The happiest people
you ever met and chock full of
genuine hospitality. The stran-
ger is invited into their homes
and there's bed and board. Many
bright-eyed boys and girls are
seen vending their way toward
some we'll taught school or in
company with their parents are
pushing toward some house of
worship to hear the preached
word. On Saturday they are
found making their way to Bax-
ter or Miami to be present at a
Booster gathering. Great is the
land to our east, but sublime
is the descriptive word per the
Land of Mines" Now you can
come and see what we have told
you about and if you don't live
here, come to see US and be one
of us.
We went up to Baxter on the
18th to be at Booster Day, and to
see where and how a paper is
printed we stepped up to a man
and asked him where a print shop
was to be found. We tackled the
fellow, for he soon found us out
and ordered us out of town. We
had met the Ed. of this paper
and he did not look good to us.
We begged and pleaded with
him for one more break into print
by promising to keep him in
roasting ears all fall. Just such
a dirty mixed up place of BUSH
ness we never looked upon. A
young man was sitting on a high
stool picking up little pieces of
iron pegs out of boxes and stack
ing them up in a pile. Over
on the other side was a gruff,

out of water. The situation is

The News man was down in

TRAIN WRECK IN INDIANA.
Weak Switch Cause of Two Deaths a,
Fort Wayne.

Fort Wayne, Ind.-Two people were
killed, two were reported missing, and
30 were injured at the western limits of
this city in the second wreck within a
week of the Pennsylvania railroad s
Chicago-New York train.
Going at top speed, pulled by two
locomotives, the heavy train ran into a
temporary switch that was too weak to
stand the terrific strain. The rails of
the switch were swept aside, the en-
gines of the flyer careened and side
swiped the engine of freight train
on a side track. Engines and passen-
ger coaches a second later were piled
on their sides.
In the panic which followed the
wreck, men fought women in their
frenzy to escape and scores were
trampel and beaten.

The farmer and the manufacturer
shared about equally in the remarkable
growth in exports which characterized
the fiscal year just ended. The total
increase in exports was 1904, 200, 900
when compared with the Immediately
preceding year, being a larger gain
than ever before shown in a single
year of our export trade. OF this gain
of 1904 100000 manufactures, as a
whole, supplied $4,000, 900; cotton
about $135,0O0, 900; meat and dairy
products about $19,000,000; corn APP
proximately $10,000,000; food animals
S1,500,000; flour about So ,50O0 900, while
wheat showed a marked decline, says
the Interstate Grocer.
Cotton is king in the export of prod
ucts of agriculture, the value exported
during the year being $5s5,000, 600
by far the largest total ever shown in
the cotton export trade-against $780,
100000 in 1910 and $4S1, 100000 in
1907, the former high-record year. Meat
and dairy products show total of APP
proximately $150,000,000, against $131,-
100000 last year, but materially less
than in certain earlier years in which
the total ranged as high as $202, O00,-
900 in 1907 and $211, 900, 900 in 1906
Food animals show total of $10,.
100000, against a little less than $12,.
100000 last year, but much below the
figures of earlier years, when the total
figures of food animals exceeded $43,-
100000 in the high-record year 1906
Flour amounting to approximately $50,
100000 in value, against SAT 100000
last year, but much less than in Ger
tain earlier years, the high record in
flour exports in 1898 showing a tota
of approximately 75,500,000.
One peculiar feature of the cotton
export trade is found in the fact that
although the value exceeded by more
than 100000 900 that of any earlier
year the quantity exported was less
than in several years. The quantity
of cotton exported in the fiscal yeal
1911 was about 1929 million pounds
against 444S million pounds in 1906
and 451S million pounds in 1907, yet
the value in 1911 was $5s5,0O0 900
against $417, 10000 in 1909 and $4s1.
100000 in 1907.
In manufactures the increase in the
group Manufactures Ready for Con
sumption" is about 100000 900, and
in the group Manufactures for Fur.
Their Use in Manufacturing the in,
crease is approximately $4,000 900;
these figures being subject to slight re-
vision since the full returns for the
closing month of the year have not yet
reached the bureau of statistics of the
department of commerce and labor.
