MINING BELT ITEMS

The Little Keen mine, Symons
Bros, Benton men, proprietors, is
producing steadily and the first car of
lead ore, 30 tons, was shipped last
week. Lead is worth up to $50 a ton
and carload will bring $1,000.
The Pacquette mine near Shulls-
burg, for years a graveyard for the
hopes of wealth of various owners,
has been sold for $4,000 to a group
of PlatteVille men. On the first ex-
plOration made by the new owners
the miners cracked into the top fiat
and struck the connecting pitch at
the same time. The top fiat sheet is
four inches in thickness, hard steel
gray jack which in itself is bonanza,
but the pitch is in sight and may
carry to lower flats according to all
the good rules Dame Nature has fol-
lowed in laying down zinc ore depos-
its. The ore body is rich in lead so
that the new owners now can go
ahead and build such a mill as they
think necessary to run a big produc-
ed. The mill on the ground is a small
affair but it can handle so to rs tons
of mine rock a day. The new COM
pany will incorporate.
The annual report OF the American
Zinc, Lead and Smelling Co., shows
an operating loss for 1921 of $685. ABB,
compared to an operating loss of
1872, 400 in 1920, the year when the
bottom fell out of metals.
Prof. U. S. Grant of the Northwes-
tern University, Evanston, ILL.,, was
in Platteville last week with a corps
of students investigating the geologi-
cal formations in the zinc-lead area.
A visit was made to the mining school
and the mines and topography of the
district occupied the attention of the
young students for the remainder Of
the week.
Prof. Ernest E. Clarke of the Min
ing School and his class of survey
ors are spending the week in practi-
cal work at the Highlett and Gray
Shaft at the North Unity Mine near
Hazel Green. The following week,
the senior class under Prof Graham
and the Freshman under Prof. Geo.
Dobson will visit the Acid and Spar
ating plants near Cuba City. The
freshmen will spend the rest of the
week in geological trips with Prof.
Veersteeg.
