Lead miners frequently had en-
countered n peculiar dark, UNI
known substance in the mines. 1t
was often adhcring to the lead
ore and was considered a NUS
ance.
Finally, samples of this peculiar
ore were sent TO a Smelter IN I'LL
nois, where it was found to be
zinc blcnde of q high quality. The
finding of zinc and lead ore to-
gether attracted many mining
men and prospectOrs to this local
ity, and mining became an impor-
tant industry. q,
About 5000 men are employed
i'm the mining industry i'll this
area, many of the workers operat-
inc their own shallow mines.
INDIVIDUALS POOL FUNDS
Frequently two or more miners
pool their funds to buy powder
and mining tools, lease a small
tract of mining land and start OPP
erations of their own.
The land-perhapS containing
an old mine shaft or drill hole-is
usually leased on a royalty basis,
the miners agreeing to pay 10 or
10 per cent of their findings. They
sell their ore every week for casf.
The small mines do not eve:
use concentrating mills, hand jig,
cling the dirt from the mine and
sending the ore to n custom mili
for crushing and separating.
Since mining has become an nm
portant industry in this section "
has been estimated that nearly
$3.50, 0OO, 600 worth D. flead and
zinc has been recovered. inns
years production is expected to
total about $25, 100000.

WORLD ARMINC|
BOOMS MINING
Lead and Zinc Production
Brings Prosperity to
Three States e. e

JOPLIN. Mo. April II. tCP).
Lead and zinc mines Of the 'tri-
state mining area of Missouri,
Oklahoma and Kansas -- which
were all but closed during the de-
preston - are being worked at
full capacity as a result of re-
armament in Europe.
The recently-cnactcd neutrality
laws passed by congress are IN
great measure responsible for the
increase i'm lead and zine sales.
This is true because, once war Is
declared. the neutrality laws would
prohibit sales Of war supplies TO
brlligercnt nations. Therefore the
countries fearing war are buying
huge supplies now and storing
them for future use.
The advance in the price OF lead
and zinc ore began about four
months ago. A Seven-ycar high
WAS recorded recently when lead
are sold ut 500 Il ton and zinc
NJ $50. Since then the price has
declined slightly because OF a
break in the London pig lead
market. Operators believe how
ever. that the price will advance
because the demand is still strong.
ALL-TIME HIGH IN
WORLD WAR
During the World war zine
reached an aII-timc high price of
$i39 a ton and lead sold at cor
respondingly high prices. Then
came the end of the war, with the
consequent lcSSencd demand and
price decline. During the dcprcS-
sion the price Of lead ore dropped
below $50 Il ton and the price of
zinc ore. OF "blende," below $50.
Many mines were forced to close
and finally were abandoned.
In the last few months, with
the price Of lead and zine ore in
creaSing, many Of these mines,
long idle. have been pumped out
and are being operated again.
New mines, also. are being
opened and proSpectors are tax
ing drill tests in attempts TO lind
new deposits. Unlike the lead and
zine mines of the Rocky Mountain
region. ore deposits in the tri-
state area are found in runs" or

AVERAGE DEPTH 400 FEET
The location of these runs" Is
determined by core drilling to

The zinc ore found in the tri-
state area is mostly blende,

ally assays from 81 10 63 per cent

The tri-State area is one OF the

the supply in the United States.

The tri-Statc district first at

lead was mined in small quantities
in Jasper and Newton counties.
During the Civil war lead from

Union and Confederate forces.
Real activity in the area began
in 1872 when zinc was discovered.

Marlboro authorities have re-
leased King under $500 bond for a
hearing on the accident to be held
in Marlboro at 8 p. m. Monday.
The hammers car, of the two
door type and a 1887 model, was
completely destroyed by the
flames. The truck was also dam
aged beyond repair, police said,
and added that it seemed little
short of miraculous that its driver
escaped with his life.
The hammers family, Of which
there are II surviving members,
lives on a large farm about four
miles east of Laurel on the Bowie
Road. The cousins reside short
distance away on the same prop
erty.
Nine brothers and sisters and
the aged parents survive the
hammers children.
The mass funeral probably will
be held at 2 p. m. tomorrow.
Police said the truck which
struck the hammers car was owned
by A. j. Palmer, a vegetable can
ner of Mundy Point and was loaded
with empty tomato cans which
King was delivering to his factory.
Cecilia hammers was listed as
the owner of the death car.

Glen Burnie, Md, to their home

the Grain Highway when they
realized their oversight.
Truck Driver King said he had
followed them some distance and
saw them pull to the side as
though to make the U-turn.
From the opposite direction
there appeared a pair of blazing
headlights which he said blinded
him as he approached the hammers
car. In avoiding q head-on crash
with the oncoming vehicle, King
said, he struck the hammers car.
When he returned to the scene, he
said, the car was in flames.
He succeeded in breaking a win
dow and removing the Manning
boy before the excessive heat drove
him off.
King told police that a motorist
stopped at the scene after David
had been pulled from the car, but
