Zinc May Replace Tin.

England is using tin containers fol
pressed meats and the time seems
near at hand when zinc will take its
proper place in the world of metals.
After the war it is safe to say zinc
will will become the popular metal for
all kinds of containers instead of tin,
as heretofore. Tin is very scarce at
present and zinc producers might take
advantage of the fact.
English users of tin are not aware
that a soldering process has been dis
covered by a Baxter Springs man
which makes zinc a strong competitor
of tin. By the new soldering fluid,
zinc can be soldered as easily as tin,
which means broader use of the met
al at no distant date. Failure to SOL
der zinc, and the further fact that
zinc is a metal little known in the
commercial world, made tin the desir-
able metal for all kinds of retainers.
The Baxter Springs mans discovery
appears to be the answer to a new
use of zinc.
The meeting at st. Louis July 20,
of the American Zinc Institute, may
inaugurate a publicity campaign
which will acquaint metal workers the
world over with the great value Of
zinc. Mine operators in the Miami dis
trict should take a lively interest in
the new movement and join the live
wires of the new organization. 1t is
expected that a large gathering Of
metal workers and zinc producers will
attend the st. Louis meeting.

The Prairie Lead and Zinc Com
pany, an organization of Kansas City
men which has been developing a
lease just across the road, north of the
Lead Boy, has one of the richest mines
in that section of the field. A visit
to the ground of the Prairie diggings.
Saturday, showed condition which is
believed is different to anything in the
OK field. The ore, which is practic-
ally lead and black jack, lies in black
mud and must be washed out before
it can be seen, especially that which
contains only the black jack as the ore
is as black as coal. In new heading
that is being cute a run of very rich
lead has been opened in the last few
days and it is believed that Prairie
will develop into as good a PROPOSE
tion as the Lead Boy, across the road.
Supt. Giles, q member of the company,
who has had charge of the develop
ment will either install hand jigs and
rolls soon or begin the construction of
a mill to get the ore out of several
thousand tons Of dirt on the dump.

The Quaker Valley Mining Company
has started up its new mill. It is
Of $50 ton capacity and Of the latest
design, built by Hoslings brothers.
The property is located six and one
half miles northeast of Baxter Springs
near the Ryan bridge over Spring
river Just q little north Of the old
Plato mill. The company was organ
lied by w. w. Wakeman, who has
large interests in Baxter Springs.
With him are associated his brother,
G. n. Wakeman and Jos. G. Lightner,
DR.. J. F. Mackey, DR.. C. H. Allen and
w. s. Allen, all of Odessa, Mo-, and
Adam Scott, Of Joplin. Mr.. Scott will
have charge of the mine. The COM
pany has two shafts in ore. They
will mine from one and use the other
for the pumps. The drilling campaign
proved up a large face Of ore from 20
to 80 feet thick, running in lead and
jack. The expenses Of operation can
be made out of the lead output, it is
believed.

The Miami Sunrise Company whose
lease is located southeast of Quapaw,
near the property of the Bethlehem
Zinc Company, has been hand-jigging
for four days and has gotten out a
ton of fine lead and about two tons OF
jack. A screen has been erected and
the ore is practically all taken from
the coarse rock rs it passed over and
dropped into the fine that go to the
jigs. Six jigs are being used at the
Sunrise, three roughers and three
cleaners. The men who are employed
to do this jigging are all experts and
are free to talk of the work, which
is new in this section but becoming
more popular at present. Two of the
roughers are used to get out the larg-
est rocks and the other as a smittem
cutter, which is supposed to get out
all of the flint. From the smittem
cutter to two cleaners and &hen the
skimmings goes to the other cleaner,
which is known as the S. A. jig among
the mining fraternity which brings
forth the flour jack. The Miami Sun
rise plant is handily arranged, the
men being protected from the sun and
rain by shed that has been built over
them. Another jig is to be added to
the number now in use.

The Alamo Lead and Zinc company
whose lease is located just north Of
Quapaw, in section 26, between the
Prairie Dog and the Greenback prop
critics, will begin sinking shaft next
week. Several holes have been sunk
by the Alamo people and, while it has
been impossible to get the greater
part of the cuttings on account of the
open conditions of the ground, the
management has been convinced that
the Alamo has u splendid paying lease
and will begin to open up the ground.
The officers of the Alamo are: Joe
I. Burgher, Dallas Texas, president;
L. 7. Martin, Dallas, vice president;

of the really big plants Of the district,

The Vantage Mining Company has
begun to operate its mill in the west

secured water for mailing purposes
from the st. Joe Company, whose
plant is only short distance away.
The Vantage has been troubled by a
shortage Of water and has been drill
ing a deep well but until it is finished
the water will be piped from the other
mill. The Vantage has been putting
out q fine lot of lead of late and with
the high price of lead it was thought
better to build the pipe line rather
than lose the time it will take to finish
the well.

The Redskin Mining company is
progressing nicely with the new mill
that is being built just across the line
in Kansas, north of Cardin and it is
thought that the mill may be complet-
ed before the time set in the contract,
10 days. From the fact that the COM
pany has sold a great amount of stock
in the last few weeks the officials have
decided to increase the capacity to
$50 tons instead of 300 tons as it had
been planned in the first place. From
the beginning of the development Of
the Red Skin it has been one of the
rich propositions of the field and as
the ground has been well opened up
and large dump of ore is on top Of
the ground the outlook for the future
Of the company is exceedingly bright.

The Red Rose Mining Company
shot into a good run of lead in the
northeast part of the city of Qua
paw Wednesday evening. The new
strike was made at depth of 1916 feet
in the bottom of the lower run as the
ore runs from 175 feet to 1877 feet,
the greater portion of which is jack.
The Red Rose company has been lucky
in getting off with their property, they
having struck n good run of jack
higher in the shaft and will soon be-
gin to sink another shaft on drill
hole where an exceptionally rich lead
strike was 145 feet, about 300 feet
from the mill. The mill has been test
ed out and has been found to be in
good condition and it is thought that
it will be running in very few days.
