Once more this part of the

in February. In years gone by
we used to have winter in Decem-
Der and January, but for the past
ten or fifteen years we have had
the coolest weather in February.
And last winter, in March, if
you remember, We had the rec
ord fall Of snow. .TEue, it was
not so heavy right here, but in
Kansas City the fall was 26
inches.
The weather which commenced

The Mines.

Several leases are being made
on the lands of the l. G.. o. com
pany, south of town. This Is
the ground where II is possible
for poor cuss to make a stake,
as much shallow ore is found in
the upper ground, and the lower
ground is rich in both lead and
zinc ores.
Tom lakewood shipped a car
of high grade zinc ore from the
White Eagle mine last week.
Ed. Miller has a lot of bins
full of ore at his Last Chance
mine.
The Sweeney mill has made a
lot of ore in the past few days,
and the dirt is getting richer as
the drifts are driven further.
Repairs at the Mission are
about completed, and work of
production will soon begin.
W. C. Dills has leased the old
Hobo diggings on the l. & 0.
land, and has installed machin-
cry. He will clean the fine dirt
on hand jigs, and will have the
rough stuff milled at the New
lands mill.
Joe and Jim Bingham and as
sociates are working the Red
Wing diggings on the l. & 0.
ground, and last week they broke
into extremely rich ore. They
are cleaning their ore on hand
jigs.
At no time in the history Of
the mining industry in the Joplin
district, it is said, have the OPP
orators experienced such a tumb.
ling of the market as has affect.
ed bleude prices during the pres
ent purchasing period. The wide
gulf existence between the price
in force at the end of the present
week and that prevailing a fort
night ago is more responsible for
the shock experienced by the in.
dustry than the offerings now
available. In order to meet the
new conditions thrust upon the
district as a result of the decline
of nearly $40 in the market, a
discontinuance of the industry
while a read.ustment can be
made will probably come as a re.
suit of individual initiative. The
market opened with a range Of
$50 to $54 and closed at $45 to $50
with the low grades hovering
close to $40 for small lots. The
high settling price was $50 as
compared with $50 last week.
The calamine shipments were
light, as little demand was made
for the ores. The range was SIS
to $2S, with the high price at $31
