TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF
ST. JOSEPH LEAD COMPANY

| AS present SlOcknOiuef OF ~. JO-
seph Lead Company and formerly q
large holder also of Dee Run Lead
Company stock, and having been cen
nected with Doe Run Lead Company
from the date of it's organization in
1886 as Secretary and Assistant SUI
perintendent, until ELLA period OF
twenty-five years of active and loyal
service in the interests Of the stock
holders Of Doe Run Lead Company
and for previous period of 10 years
in building up the St. Joseph Lead
Company Ia total of 43 years contin-
uous service), I feel that it is due to
the present stockholders of the St.
Joseph Lead Company, who also ac-
quire the holdings of Doe Run Lead
Company by consolidation, that a
brief statement Of facts be presented
showing just how their interests have
been protected in the past and why
they are today in possession of the
holdings of the Doe Run property and
to whom they are largely indebted for
the same.
In 1868 came to st. Joseph Lead
Company and with Mr.. C. B. Parsons
devoted IS years in general upbuild-
ing of the st. Joseph Lead Company.
Then in 1886 a new discovery was
made in Doe Run and new company
was formed by some of the stockhold-
ers of the st. Joseph Lead Company,
with a capital of 100000. was APP
pointed Secretary and Assistant Sd
perintendent of the new company and
took charge of the new work. In
side of ten months had works, shafts,
ETC., in successful operation. The
rapid increase in production and cap
italization from 100000 to $4,000
900 is well remembered, as well as the
subsequent jump to S10,OOO,00O cap
italization.
Now this was all brought about by
reason Of addition to our lard hold
ings of several very valuable tracts
Of land in Flat River. where we al-
ready had small holdings. 1t was
my duty as Secretary and Assistant
Superintendent to look after and Sc
cure by option or purchase, any valu-
able lands that in my judgment would
add to our mineral reserves. In 1892,
having inside information as to the
two tracts of land known as the
Hampton tract" (now Rivermines)
and joining the Central Lead Company
who had already opened up valuable
deposits, reported same to my com
pany and was instructed not to make
any option or enter into any deal, as
they did not want it, but my own judg-
ment and knowledge of conditions
prompted me to secure these laads by
option at a very low price, and on
the same day put a drill in said |
and saved our company a |
property which soon proved a most
valuable lead land, being valued at
$3,000,000 and was conveyed to the
at the option pricc.-the
most valuable lead land yet acquired.
Three days after obtained the OPP
lion other parties would have taken it.
A shaft was Immediately started and
in 1898, old Doe Rum was work
I'd out and Shaft No. at Flat River
station was drowned out by the open
ng of an uncomfortable channel Of
water, rendering this mine utterly
Useless. Doe Run was therefore idle
md remained so for few months I'M
il this same No. 2 Shaft was bottomed
md this proved the saving of the Doe
tun Company.

FREE LIME

The Agricultural Department Of the
State Normal School at Cape Girar-
deau will inform interested parties
where they can obtain good lime for
agricultural purposes by paying the
freight and loading. This lime is
air Stacked material that has accu-
INFLATED around lime kilns in Ste.
Genevieve county. A sample of this
lime showed 81 per cent calcium OK
ide. This averages very wen with
crushed lime stone, but since it is SO
finely divided less can be used per
acre, two tons being sufficient. If
one cannot use car load of this lime
he should get his neighbor to 90 IN
with him in order to save on freight
charges.
