tons less than in 1912 Practically

class d as sphalerite and zinc carbon
ate averaging 4S per cent in zinc
content. None Of the concentrating

ments of high-grade carbonate ore
increased from 462 tons in 1912 TO
to $50 tons in 1913. Neary all the
mixed sphalerite and carbonate was
mined by J, Conness Shepherd at
the Red Cloud, Climax, and Morn
ing Star mines, in the Rush district,
Marion County, The Morning Star
mine was also the largest producer
Of high grade zinc carbonate. The
Frisco and Gloria mines, in the Zinc
district, Boone County, were worked
steadily by l.. l., Brown and the
output was the second largest in the
State. The small lead shipments
were made by the Washington
