Merseal and Alice shipped a car
load of zinc to st. Louis Monday. The
zinc was mined at Mammoth and If it
proves profitable hundreds of tons will
be mined, as there is al abundance of
the ore. The old Mammoth mine has
been lying idle for a long time, as the
zinc market has not been high enough
to pay to mine it and haul it to De
Soto, and the lead is not in sufficient
quantities. At the present price of
zinc, il the quality is good, hundreds
| of men will be put to work taking out
ore.-De Soto Republican.

fare of Mr.. Graves, who has endeared
