An Infant Industry.
The mining business in Texas should
be fostered as an infant industry
free from taxation for a period OF
years. If necessary. and not be expect

Another serious Difficulty.
The other factor, more serious than
the preceding one. is the difficulty en-
cOuntered ia correctly locating your
claims. Texas is the only state thar
came into. the union without 1rsL
being a territory, except the Is orig
inal colonies, of course. There is no
public domain" in Texas. hence there
has never been an official survey OIL
this state, as has been made in all ter
ritories.
Just what this really means in Texas
can best be illustrated by a concrete
example. The county of Culherson is
five miles wider on the county map
than il viii be found to be when actu-
ally surveyed out, according TO
statement made by the state levy and
drainage commission in conversation
with the writer. Es
VIII he of Interest LATER
This is Of little Importance. cOmpar-
atively, TO the rancher, as long as the
land has small value as at present but
when it is remembered that fer most OF
the region. the alternate sections be-
long TO the railway companies OF other
large corporate interests, the difficulty
Of determining what section a mineral
deposit is on becomes apparent Hay
ing a survey made TO determine the
matter is often an expensive under
taking. Even then the matter is not
final No one cares to take risk on
developing q mine only to find later on,
after an expensive law suit that lines
have shifted and that he has developed
another mans property.
Remedy Is Pointed.
This state of affairs can perhaps be
remedied I'm but one way. Unless the
railway and other corporate interests
owning large tracts of land in Texas
can be legally required to put conspicu-
Gus monuments at each corner of their
lands. there is small hope of inducing
any systematic prospecting.
Such a requirement does not seem
unjust when we read section 16 Of the
mining law and see what is required
Of the prospector, as follows: The To-
Gator of any mining claim shall place
stone or concrete markers at the four
corners not less than three feet high
and otherwise describe the corners, in
his location notice, so that they can be
readily found

Phoenix. Ariz., Febf 6.--N- i. Amsteri
president OF the shannon Copper com
pany. and associates VINO are also m
ferested in the Shannon, have closed
deal for the Golconds- zinc mine, 10
miles north Of Kingnan, in MohaVe
county. The price is reported TO be
above half a million dollars. Control
OF the mine will be surrendered IN
short time by its former owners,
For more than a year Mr. AmsUer, ms
friends and engineers have been look
ing over Mohaye county They cOnslu-
cred several properties in the vicinity
of Kingman and finally settled on the
Tbe SGs,olconda first came into pronhi-
nence several years ago, when It was
taken over by John Boyle. Prior 10 thaJ
time q few shallow shafts mad been
sunk on the veins and while some good
silver ore had been extracted no effort
had been made toward deep develop
ment. Mr.. Boyle installed hosting ma
chinery and commenced systematic De
velopment on the zinc vein which cut
across the group.
Zinc at 100 Feet.
At a depth of about $50 feet the Dig
zinc ore body was encountered and from
that DAY the Golconda has been heavy
producer. When the mine was on
paying basis Mr. Boyle began TO BUY IN
surrounding property. Today the TUB
and Prosperity are included in the Col
through the Prosperity into the big Col
conda ore bodies. and it shows good
ore for the entire distance.
a The main GOlcOnda shaft is 40 feet
deep and has eight levels. Drifts have
been carried out into splendid ore From
uhe deepest level and the 500 foot level
about 400 tons of ore are now being
extracted each week for shipment to the
zinc smelter at Barlesville. Oklahoma.
Two self dumping trucks carry the ore
to the railroad.
Ore Averages A. Percent Zine.
Tor the last two years a concentrat-
ing plant has handled the low grade
ores of the GOlconda. The ore that is
shipped averages As percent zinc. In
places the shoots of rich ore are II feet
wide
Some development work has been
done on the Tub, where the ore bodies
are even wider than on the Golconda.
The Tub ore is not nearly so rich as the
GOlconda product however.
