MINING NOTES

Ore prices in the Joplin market
have moved back to So to $50 per
ton.
Thirty seven wagons, carrying a
ton Of ore each from the mines, un'
loaded at Buffalo station during one
day last week.
\ During the first l3 working days
of this month, the Red Cloud mine
produced 1lS tons OF concentrates.
averaging only one shift day.
lord Stillwell, who is operating
the Mckay property, made a ship
meut of ore from Pyatt last week.
W. A. McCurrv also shipped a lot
from the Pilot Rock.
The Chalmer Motor Truck Co.
has been experimenting with their
machines as to practicability ofhaul-
ing ore by truck from Rush to Yell,
vile. So far the experiments have
resulted favorably.
The Cripple Greek Mining Com
panv of Harrison and Bellefonte has
secured a lease on the Cochran land
a mile from Zinc and started de-
velopment work, sho wing up good
prospect. 1t is the plan to open
this property on a large scale.
The Pyatt Mining Co, controlled
by Messrs. Dixon and Pierce, of
Harrison, have just completed the
mill on their property near Pyatt.
They had practically proven their
ground before starting to build the
mill, and will heneeforth be regular
producers.
L. T. Westrich shipped a car last
week from the Rhodes. Manchester
land, that being his third car since
beginning work in May. W. H.
Almy also shipped car Saturday
from which he has sold about $1O,,
600 worth of ore since installing his
little mill last winter er.-YeHviIIe
Miuing Reporter
Mr. W. r. Willett, the ore buyer,
says that in the last seven days, up
to last Saturday he purchased s cars
of ore and up TO Tuesday noon OF
this week he had 6 cars in sight
'naking Il cars in eight days.
When we consider there are other
buyers in the field, and that some
of the producers ship directly to
smelters, we are forcibly reminded of
the fact that the North Arkansas
field is taking her rightful position
among the zinc producing countries
Of the world .-KeHplIIe Echo.

FAIR STOCKHOLDERS MEET
Will Continue the Enterprise and Take
Steps to Wipe Out Indebtedness

Aninteresting meeting OF the stock
holders of the Boone County Fair
Association was held Monday after
noon at the Court House when
many of the problems of the enter
prise were freely discussed by the
meeting and a decision reached to
continue the Fair, meeting its in
debtedness either BY assessment or
the sale of additional stock. The
limit of one share to an individual
was removed, in order to permit
those desiring to do so to contribute
more literally toward the support
of the association
A committee consisting of Messrs,
Wycoff, Finch and Silby Johnson
was appointed to take charge of
the sale of additional stock.
1t was stated that the fair assocla-
tion has an Indebtedness of about
$4,000. A profit of about 500
was made on the fair last year but
the losses at the midsummer race
meeting and at the last fair approx
mated the same amount, leaving the
association with about its original
Indebtedness.
Owing to the suit instituted BY
Secretary Frank Travis, as result
OF which the funds of the association
have beed tied up by garnishment
proceedings, the premiums offered
at the fair just held have not been
paid and there probably will be
some delay in making the payments.

The Macintosh mil al Rush,
which was put into commission
this month by John Shepherd, is one
of the most perfect ore cleaning
mills that has been constructed 10

senting the interests of local stock

last week from the Mountain
Meadow and Lon Brown shipped a

diggers during the past few days.
He reports having another car which
he had bought but not in time for
shipment last week. -Four wagons
drove into Zinc at one time, loaded
with ore for sale on the local market,
which, of course, found ready sale at
good prices with Mr.. Brown on the
street.
Ed Zimmerman came up Sunday
from the Red Cloud mine where he
has been as Superintendent since the
resumption of work some three
months ago. He is proud of the
progress made at this as we'll as
other mines of the Rush district.
His company now has a face Of ore
10 feet thick and so feet wide, open
ed up at their new diggings that
will run 20 per cent. They are get
ting lots of free ore from this place.

mountain 1000 feet and has a face

15 feet thick, that is turning out 8
