FOUND ORE BENEATH
A DESERTED SHAFT
FOrty-Acre Tract on Edge of Jop-
lin Has Mineral so Feet
Thick.

Simon Hartzell, who is visiting his
parents in this city after an absence
of several years, has a remarkable
story to tell of his success as a miner
Mr.. Hartzell, who now makes his
home in Denver, has endured incon-
ceivable hardship and deprivation as a
prospector for mineral in the remot-
est parts of the toughest ranges of
the Rocky Mountains. His search has
carried him from the parched and
burning sands of Death Valley to the
snow capped peaks Of the frozen
North, and through it all he was
frowned upon by Dame Fortune, and
finally returned to Missouri discourg-
ed and desperate.
While visiting his brother, Henry
Hartzell, a mining engineer at Joplin,
the tide turned and all former disap-
pointments were overcome by the
volume of success that was visited up
on him.
An apparently worthless piece of
property which the two brothers ac-
quired for an insignificant sum, has
developed into one Of the richest zinc
properties in the Joplin district. The
tract embraces 40 acres and is situat-
ed in the edge of the city Of Joplin.
What was believed to have been an
old worked out claim, rendered value
less 20 years ago, is now recognized
as a wonderfully rich property.
Mr.. Hartzell relates the story of his
change Of fortune as follows:
Henry had been out in that district
for seven years, and he looked over
that particular tract and talked with
men who worked in there Is or 20
years ago. From his knowledge Of

BLOOD CALCULATES In

DR.. Critics Diagnoses MaladJ and

Considerable alarm has been arous-
ed among farmers and stockma in the
vicinity Of Dutchtown, since the de-
velopment of blackleg in the herd be-
longing to Albert Nieman ard Henry
Mustard, well known farmers in that
community.
A few days ago some of the cattle
belonging to this particular herd be-
came ill and died soon after their sick
ness became known.
Mr.. Nieman, who had never seen a
case of blackleg, but had become some
what familiar with the symptoms
through reading of it, was soon con-
WINGED that the dreaded malady had
reached his herd. He had read that
stroking the legs of cattle afflicted
with the disease, would produce a
clearly distinct cracking sound as the
hand passed over the affected area.
His suspicious were confirmed when
he made the test, and he Immediately

Critics of Jackson.
When DR.. Critics arrived and was
advised of the noticeable symptoms
he, too, felt certain that blackleg had
found its way into the herd. An ex-
animation of some that had died, dis
played uncontradictory evidence of the
presence of the disease, and no time
was lost in vaccinating the remainder
of the herd.
The morbid examination showed
that the blood in the legs had coagu-
lated and turned to an inky blackness
in both veins and arteries, which is
evidence irrefutable of the existence
of the destructive contagion.

Influential Men Drafting
Message to Governor, Based
on Teachers Complaints.
SCHOOLS DEBTS ARE
SUBJECT FOR GOSSIP
Banks Doubt Value of Certifi'
Gates to Cover NOrmaPs
Debts.

A rare system of handling its cred
itors is employed by the Cape Girar-
deau Normal School, according to
those who are familiar with the
scheme, and Gov. Major is going to be
asked to pass upon it.
When the school is unable to meet
its obligations, it issues Certificates
of debts" to its creditors, and this pa
per bears interest Just as notes.
Whether the Normal officials &C
tions are legal without having been
approved by the Legislature, has been
questioned by banks in this city, but
those in charge of the school say they
are.
1t is said that the Normal School
established a precedent when it pur-
chased the Kaiser tract of land sever
al years ago. This was bought with
out an appropriation from the Legis-
lature or without the Legislature hav-
ing approved of the deal. "Certifi-
Gates of debt" were issued for the
tract and these were taken up on in
stallments.
1t is presumed that the money paid
for the land came out of what is
known as the Incidental fund" The
incidental fund represents fees paid
IN the institution by the students.
Each student is charged $21 for the
winter term, which gives the Normal
more than s21, 900 for the season.
Out of this money, the fuel, light
ing and water bills are paid, with
other ''incidentals." As the fuel bills
have not been regularly paid, it IS
supposed that a. part of the "inci-
dental" money has been used for other
necessary purposes.
Those who question the right Of the

is only in rare cases that the afflict-
ed animal RECEIVERS.
By the use of certain vaccine the
spread of the disease is prevented, but
before the discovery of this valuable
preparation a few years ago, thou
sands of cattle in a stock-growing
community have been known to perish
from this fatal infection.
The disease generally attacks young
cattle, and rarely will a case be found
except with cattle that are fat.
In the western country where the
disease is more common, when a
ranchman finds one of his cattle af-
flicted, he is sometimes able to save
the animal by chasing it on horseback
and keeping the circulation active for
hours, finally overcoming the ravages
of the disease germ with which it has
been infected.
The disease has developed in herd
recently purchased at a sale in the
Dutchtown neighborhood by Mr.. Me
man and Mr.. Mustard, and as the cat
tie are native born it is known that
the presence of blackleg has never be-
fore existed among them.
DR.. Critics vaccinated the entire
herd, and it is said that other stock
growers in the community intend to
have their herds vaccinated, in the
hope of preventing a disastrous cpl
demic among the cattle in the COM
munity.

ought to be another run of ore deeper
down.
"Last year, just before Christmas,
we put down six drill holes and got
ore in them from SO to Sc feet thick,
below the 100 foot level.

on the property and prove up con-
clusively as to the tonnage, and then
construct concentration large enough
to work it all out in two years.
"The Joplin district is the only one
in the United States that produces a
zinc that is sufficiently free from i'm
purities to enter into the manufacture
of fine brass suitable for shells. Shell
brass is made in the proportion of %
per cent zinc and ~ per cent copper.
"Other zines are full of iron and
other foreign substances that spoil it
for fine brass.
"There are 80 tons of brass con-
sumed daily in the European war, and
figuring that the war will last two
years longer, We will be enabled to
market our entire deposit at high
price. Our zinc is now selling for
$50 per ton and six months ago it sold
for only s32 per ton"

Missouri School of Mines at Rolla,
Mo-, and for several years was en-
ployed as a mining engineer for the
CRANKY Mining & Smelling Company,
one of the largest zinc mining con-
Germs in the United States.
Simon Hartzell will leave this after
noon for Joplin where he will stop
over for a few days, after which he
will continue his journey to Colorado

Normal School to buy land, believe
that if the school authorities possess
this authority, they can also construct
buildings without the consent of the
Legislature. However, officials from
the school appeared before the Appro-
priations Committee of the Legisla-
ture during the last session and plead
ed for an extra sum to erect an Agri-
cultural building.
1t is known that the Normal Off
Gals have not asked for special ap-
preparation to cover the Indebtedness
that has been carried in this city for
several years. The holders of claims
against the school are protected by
Certificates of debts" If it were
found that these certificates were not
legal because of the fact that they
were not authorized by the Legis!a-
ture, the holders of claims against the
school may be compelled to prove their
claims.
1t became known yesterday that
several influential business men are
drafting a letter to Gov. Major, ask
ing him to order an investigation of
conditions at the Normal School. Com
plants of teachers will be included in
this document.
One of the principal charges of the
men and women instructors is that the
school is without a head. They say
that complaints made to their super
iors are met with this statement:
"What you have said is not news to
me, but l can do nothing"
The Governor is to be asked wheth-
er or not Objectionable features at the
school can be eliminated, and who is
responsible for existing conditions.
The message is to be signed by num-
Der of prominent men, but the charges
of teachers will be included in it.
The removal of several members of
the faculty will be asked. Governor
Major will also be asked to give his
opinion as to whether the Normal
School has the power to create debts
and carry them from year to year, Sc

Thief GETS RARE
WATCH AT DIVERS
Time Piece, Worth $3.50, Struck
Hour, Quarter and Minute,
it is Said.

Robbers entered the palatial home
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Palmer Oliver at
an early hour yesterday morning, and
while the members of the household
were peacefully slumbering, the mar
auders were making a deliberate in
spection of the deliberately furnished
rooms on the second floor.
A watch valued at $3.50 and a small
amount of money We're carried away by
the burglars, who evidently had no
intention or desire to remove the vast
amount of valuable jewels and silver
with which they came in contact while
making an inspection of the premises.
After several unsuccessful attempts
to gain access to the building by way
of the windows on the first floor,
porch climbing tactics were resorted
to and admission gained through a
window in the second story.
The stolen watch was of Swiss make
and would strike the hours, quarters
and minutes. 1t was regarded as a
rare specimen of the watchmaker's
skill, and was priced highly by Mr..
Oliver by reason of it having been
presented to him by his mother as
Christmas gift in 1912
The thieves entered the sleeping
room and took the watch from Mr..
divers vest. The pants were carried
into the hall and there the pockets
were searched and a small amount of
money, pocketbook and some keys
were removed. The keys and the
pocketbook were found down stairs
where the burglars had gone after
looking through the different rooms
on the second floor. After reaching
the downstairs, they helped themselves
to cigars, and then went to the ice
box but found it empty. They left by
way of the rear door, which was left
standing open.
The officers are conducting care
full search for the offenders and it is
believed that their apprehension and
arrest will follow in a short time.
