MINING NOTES

Ambrose Estes, local manager of
the Edith Mining Company, opera
on Rush creek at Rush, has CON
tracted for new mill and saw
mill also will be run in connection.
With eleven of the twelve months
of the year gone, the indications are
that the valuation of the total out
put of lead and zinc ore for the
Missouri district in 1915 will be
right around $25,000.000.
". II. Almy of Zinc, is "a, the
oldest zinc mining operator in the
North Arkansas field. He has
cleaned up $4,000 gross the first
/ months of the year of his Gloria
mine and royalties from leases on
his ground.
The large S0-horse boiler and
engine purchased from the Home
stake mines on jimmies creek arrived
at the Big Hurricane mine the first
OF the week having been hauled
some thirty miles on log wagons
with ten mule teams.
Since breaking into the big ore
channel at the Red Cloud, the pro-
duction of ore has shown a marked
increase. From Monday morning
to Tuesday morning, embracing
two nine.hour shifts, the output
was 20 tons, or Better than a ton
an hour.
{. G. Thomas is building a custom
zinc mill on the Little Sugar
Orchard creek near Zinc. The
building of this mill means that all
the value in the dirt mined by the
small operators in this camp will be
saved. At present the small opera
tors have only been saving the free
ore.
The St. Louis Lead and Zinc Com.
pany, which is operating the
Nakomis mine, has completed a 80.
ton test mill, which was constructed
in the rd-breaking time of l3
days. The Nakomis is the deepest
mine ir the North Arkansas field.
rwo shafts are down to a depth Of
160 feet. They cut four distinct
runs of zinc and lead.
Ed Zimmerman, Consulting Engi-
neer of the Dixie Girl mine, accom-
panied by J. II. Hand, agent for the
leassor, went to Joplin last week
to select machinery for the 100 ton
mill to be erected at the mine, for
which the lumber is now being cut.
The plant will consist of modern,
up.to,date outfit, with ample power
for additional capacity as the mine
output is increased. Mr.. Zimmer-
man will supervise the erection Of
the plant himself, having made the
plans for the building and placed the
order for the lumber -Yehvihe News.

BELIEVE DiSINFECTiNG
WILL CHECK DIPHTHERlA
Health Officials Do Not Regard Es-
Establishment of Special School
Here as Practical.

Although It has been necessary to dis
infect one school building in Washing
ton on account of diphtheria, local
health officials do not regard as praf-
ticable the establishment here of a
special school for diphtheria carriers,
such as is now being maintained in
Contra Costa county, Cal, where there
is also a diphtheria epidemic.
The plan of excluding from the Wash
ington schools all patients who show
symptoms of diphth.eria or throat
trouble will, it is believed, serve as
sufficient safeguard against further
spread of the disease. The Hubbard
School building is the only one to have
been disinfectad and the situation IS
now believed to be well in hand.
Health officer Woodward has advised
that physician be summoned upon
the appearance of the first symptoms.
as in this way many patients can be
prevented from coming in contact with
persons and subjectlng them to the
danger of infection. So far 1O2 cases
of the disease have been reported. The
homes of patients are Immediately
ouarantined and disinfected by the de-
partment.

Fogs are again bothering Potomac
navigators and are causing delay in the

make out the forward flag poles. The
steamer Wakefield, due here at o'clock
