Short Lay Sermon.

Young man, we heard yCh rip
out a string of oaths the other
day that would have put a pi-
rate to shame. You thought it
was smart, no doubt, but it was
not, and your elders really pitied
you for your ignorance in think
ing it smart. Take a look
around you, young man, and no.
tice how many men swear. You
will notice, if you observe close
ly, that not as many men swear
as you might think.
Swearing is a vicious habit,
and cannot possibly do any good.
1t is disgusting, and lowers one
in the estimation of his fellows.
There is nothing to it. Cut it out

The Mines.

Despite the Iact tnat tue PIo-
duction of zinc ore was dimiri-
ished one-third last week by the
severe storm and by power trou-
bles, no increase was made in
prices for blende. There was
not a strong demand for ore,
many buyers being satisfied with
obtaining less than their' usual
purchases rather than enter into
competition that might send
prices several dollars higher.
The highest base price paid
for blende carrying 80 per cent
metallic zinc was $50. A num-
ber of lots of ore were sold at
this price. Many sales of high
grade ore were made on a basis
of SIS and SIS. so. Low-grade
ore brought $50 and $54, the base
range for the week being $53 to
$50, with top price of $50.
No change was made in lead
prices, $53 remaining the high
price for 80 per cent ore. Pig
lead prices remaining firm thru
out the week.
Practically no change was
made in calamine prices. Twenty
nine dollars was the highest of
fer as a basis.
Shipments from every camp OF
the Missouri-Kansas- Oklahoma
