Old Landmark Removed.

The razing of what was left of the
'old bank building" as known for
about half a century, removes a very
ancient structure. Just when and by
whom it was built the writer, thus far,
has been unable to fathom. 1t was To-
Gated III the block presented Mineral
Point by the government and has been
city property for fully half century.
Its removal has resulted in the new
municipal building standing, out more
prominently and to an advantage. The
old business structure rendered great
service in various ways, was centrally
located and always occupied 1t was in
the attic of this building Jelefre, the bank
robber, hid himself for about twenty
four hours previous TO performing sin
gle-handed the daring robbery of the
First National Bank.

NUMBER Al
An Auspicious Opening.

The Mineral Point Lyceum course,
under the auspices of the Congrega-
tional Brotherhood, opened IN Tuesday
evening with the Old Colonial Band.
II was made up of twelve sGilled musi-
clans. Their music consisted of sacred,
classical, patriotic and popular seec-
tons, The execution was fawless, and
the large audience overlooked with APP
probation up and including the last
note.
Mr., Amrose Wyrick, who travels
with the band as a baritone vocalist,
was a great favorite. His rendition
of 'Mother Machree" uncovered inor-
dinate talent. In fact with his every
appearance on the platform came some
thing of special merit, both in selection
and vocal skill, and his hearers, sensi-
tive to what was good and rare, dis
played great eagerness for more,
more There was ample volume,
charming meLowness and richness of
tone in his voice. Mineral Point hopes
for the privilege to hear Mr.. Wyrick
again ere long.

Big Dealt Closed for Low Grade Zinc.

In his budget of mining news for
this week j. H. Lewis cites that some
buyers have ceased discriminating
against ores below a certain grade.
This will prove of great advantage TO
various citizens of Mineral Point the
Ross Brothers, for instance, and stock
| holders of the Peacock, of whom sew
eral are residents of this place.
Here is what MIR. Lewis reports:
Confirmation is afforded through
close observation of buying interests
now at work in this field. One smelt-
ing concern heretofore discriminating
in zinc ore values have let down the
bars and big deals were closed during
the week involving thousands of tons
of low grade zinc ore.
Ross Bros. Mining company, Lin
den district, denied market for the
greater part of this year because as
says ran under 80 per cent zinc cleared
their entire output to the American
Metals company variously estimated at
/, 200 tons or more The Peacock Min
ing company Of the Mifln district
operating under contract to the New
Jersey Zinc company prior to last May
failed to draw a renewal and the Amer
lean Metals company has filled the
breach by taking the entire output
since 800 tons or more and contract
agreement has been entered into where
! by the Peacock mine output for the
next year will be delivered to LANCE
10th, Pa; deliveries to run four or five
cars weekly. So far this year the Pea
cock has paid shareholders Of record 30
per cent in dividends and this sale
promises another juicy melon cutting
