Marion And Salem Road.

In last weeks Press there ap-
peared an article highly cempli-
menting our road engineer, Mr..
Wilson, for work done on this
road. Now, we would not pluck
a single feather from Mr.. Will
sons cap; we too, are ready to
sing his praise but we think
there are others who are justly
entitled to some of the credit for
the fine work done on this road.
For instance, E. Champion, Set
ties, Jim Hall and others should
each come in for share.
We want to congratulate Mr..
Wilson on securing the services
of Mr.. Champion to run the
grader. We want to say right
here without fear of successful
contradiction, that E. Champion
for good judgment and sticka-
bility with road grader is with
out a peer, and to our way of
thinking, E. is the man behind
the gun, Il mean with the gra-
der.) With the telephone poles
moved out of the way, Settles
and his crew can fix the Beard
hill as he has the LaRue hill and
E. called back to grade the part
driven over, we will have a road
to the county line that you can
motor, drive. haul or ride over
without being ditched or derailed
every few hundred yards, and
one that the taxpayers will not
kick to pay the tax on.
So Mr.. Wilson let the good
work 60 on, the more, the better.
Respectfully,
]. B. CARTER.

at 2 o'clock Wednesday, June
4th. Rev. Jas. F. Price officiat-

which with the beautiful floral

Mining news
OF INTEREST.
The Mid. Summer Seasons Work
In Full Blast. The Days
Work What 1t Costs.

The fuor spar and other mines,
in and around Marion as we'll as
throughout the Western Ken.
lucky district are generally in
full swing.
Several of the properties will
reduce their output of spar this
season, lessening the number of
men employed to quite an extent.
1t seems to be foregone conclu-
sion that lower prices will pre-
vail on f1uor spar. In the zinc,
lead and coal workings through
out the field as large outputs
will be made as possible not
withstanding the decline in
prices of the two metals named.
This decline has been a very
severe one. In December Spelter
(Zinc) was in demand at S7.0S
per hundred pounds, today the
price is IS. 35 which means a very
decided lowering of the price
paid sfor zinc ore. Lead does
not share in so much of depre-
citation. Notwithstanding this
drop in zinc, very considerable
tonnage will be mined on account
of the much higher percentage
that our zinc ores carry of that
metal as compared with all other
zinc producing ground in this
country. This may seem rather
a strong statement but so far
every body of zinc ore opened
here proves this statement by
labratory analysis.
A comparison of prices paid
men for wages here and at Jop-
lin is rather in favor of the men
in the Missouri field. For ex.
ample, blacksmith's, hoisterman.
machine men and pumpmen are
paid 50. so for each shift of eight
hours: machine man helper, ~. 25
and drillmen $500 per eight
hour shift. Ground bosses get
from $500 to $500 per week.
The total cost of all labor is from
So to SO per cent of total opera.
ting cost. Coal costs for mine
run $2.25 to $2.65 per ton.
| Prospecting is done by churn
drilling. and contracted for al
SO cents per foot. Holes are
usually drilled to a depth of zoe
to 250 feet. and in prospecting q
40 acre lease Is holes are deemed
sufficient.
A premium of 81. 90 is paid fol-
each per cent of zinc above 6(

made for every per cent of iror
over one. A premium is paio
for concentrates containing ga
lena or lime. The largest pro
