|ates a 100-ton mill to the east of the
|old Mission mine. They have two
levels, the upper one at 80 feet, in hard
ground, and lower level at 107 feet,
which is softer and more open, so that
timbering is required to support the
roof. Calcite and dolomite occur with
the sphalerite and galena, which are
in the proportion of 81 in the lower
body. The lower ore seems to be a
run IA feet in thickness and "a feet
wide, dipping slightly to the west The
ore from the upper run gives 4 per
cent and that from the lower run gives
per cent Of concentrates.
The Sweeney or McAllister mine i'm
mediately north of the Big Jack, has
run intermittently and has produced
a large quantity of concentrates. The
Good Luck mine at the extreme north
east corner of the camp works a 104-
foot level in a soft blanket ground ex-
tending over the lease of 60 acres. A
face 20 to 30 feet in width and of about
equal height is worked A 10O-ton mill
is operated. A recovery of about 10
per cent of concentrates is made. The
Ethel Miller Mining company operates
a hand-jig proposition at Lancaster
mine south of the Good Luck, and has
produced several tons of high-grade
zinc concentrates. The White Eagle
mine and mill, to the west of the Good
Luck, is operated internationally

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 1912
BY DAVID r. FoRGAN
President the National City Bank, Chicago

As everyone knows the financial outlook for 1912 be-
couded by the political situation The chief characteristic
of this situation uncertainty and there nothing
paralyzng to enterprise
The regulating, destroying, of the so-called trusts
and the revision of the tariff both questions
Importance to business any this time form any
definite idea regarding either? If republicans are
elected, what will they do? the win what will
they do? No man knows! therefore look sowgoing
for 1912 with easy money snap business and
waiting policy generally
AT the same time those of who have through
liar experiences in this country that like good ship
in storm it has faculty of rghng itself going
Perhaps of slow business will harm
and without saying that people live
there bound to be lot of business worst AS
always, much viii depend upon the crops. good
prospects of bountfu in 1912 nomination of
fairly conservative by both parties during
would not be surprising before the year we
saw activity restored money demand another era
of prosperity started
If the movement to reform currency and banking
system should be successful in the coming congress-
would be another factor for revival whole there
fce there is cause for patience, undue
arm My observation is that those believe in this
country come out right later

Four Steam plants.

The Quapaw camp opened in 1903,
aud development was rapid until the
financial depression of 1907. At the
close of the latter year there were 25
steam concentrating plants and hand
Jig outfits in operation. The law prices
of ore generally prevailing since 1907
have prevented the profitable working
Of the low-grade blanket-ground ores,
except where the mines had large
openings in the ore-body and large ca
pacity mills. Consequently there has
been practically no new development
since 1907. Several of the mills have
been removed and many have stood
idle the greater portion of the time.
There are now twelve steam concen-
trating plants and a few hand jigs.
Only four of the steam plants are in
operation
The Kansas City-Quapaw company
has a 200-ton mill on the old Mission
lease, at the, extreme west end of the
camp, and the Petersburg Land &
Mining Co., a 400-ton mill on the old
NJ, K & T. and Ward leases, imme-
diately to the north. These mines are
in the typical hard-blanket ground the
ore occurring in the chart with prac-
tieally no calcite or dolomite. A face
Of about 20 feet is worked in both
mines.

able Improvements in the Denic
country. He has the manage
ment Of the Trout Creek ranch
formerly the property Of Thomas
& Walters, Chicago capitalists,
and is placing tracts on the mar
ket. Mr.. ROunseville says there
IS sufficient water to, place practi-
cally the entire holdings under
irrigation and anticipates great
activity in that section during
the season. He is so confident
OF the development and advance
ment Of his territory that he has
ordered a car load of farm ma
chinery, including a separator
and tanning mill with which to
thresh and clean alfalfa seed.
He expects to devote a large
acreage to the growing of alfalfa
for seed and will also raise wheat. !
He has already contracted to
put in a modern grist mill and |
expects it to run its full capacity
from its installation.
R. H. Vickers, another resi-
dent Of that section, is also in
the city on court business and
states he has a contract to bring

SUNSET NOTES

Fred Wyatt will call upon the
/ people of this county beginning
in April soliciting orders for
groceries delivered at the near
est railroad point.
The first real indication of a
railroad in Sunset is here, full
fiedged tramp visited this section,
the early part of the week.
At the benefit dance last Satur-
day night about $40 were raised
and turned over to Manney New
ell, who was so unfortunate as
to lose his home by fire few
weeks ago.
Sunset ladies gathered at the
home of Mrs. Eggleston, one day
last week, and made a beautiful
rug to be used as an alter rug at
the grange meetings.
Sunset Grangers will probably
start a small experimental farm
near the school house, the object
being to find out what crops do
the best, and to keep up the good
interest in the Grange. 1t is
suggested that they choose sides
and conduct competitive farms.

The homestead bill as passed

beats-an insult to the highest,
strongest passion known to human
ity.
A babe is but a babe throughout
the world
This one came as naked as. the
rest of us came. Its hands were as
empty as our own 1t yearned first
for the mother as did we.
We noisily chatter over the fact
that this baby is born to a hundred
millions. But what can money mean
to this or any other babe? Are its
eyes brighter, is its smile any sweet
er, or the touch Of its lips upon the
mothers breast any more tender be-
cause OF the fortune that awaits it2
To it the clink of coins Is but a
sound, the tints OF bills and bonds
are but fare of color. and all the
fortunes of the world mean less to
it than the kiss and clasp of love.
The pure soul fresh from the heart
of God is far too wise to be dazzled
by the glittering bauble of wealth,
which later we sink to worship, The
babes heart and mind and soul, like
the soft, strong tendrils of the vinem,
cling only to the staunch passions
and emotions and impulses that en-
dure.
The little mite Of humanity pos
sesses possibilities that cannot be
calculated
The tiny hands that clasp and
cling TO everything within their
roach have the beginnings of inn
measurable power for good or i'll
The infant mind Is virgin soil for
whatever seed modern civilization
may SOW in it; and according to the
planting the fruit will be bitter o.
sweet, yielding sustenance to the
common impulse or being poisonous
to 1t.
The new tender, tractable heart
VIII some day beat strong with love
or hate.
These are truths which every
| mother turns to as swiftly and un-
erringly as the compass needle turns
to the pole,
