In offering this, the first issue of our Lead and Zinc Year Book, we feel under obligations to many of the leading miners and newspa per publishers in the great district comprising Grant, Iowa, and La Fayette counties in Wisconsin; Jo Dayiess county, Illinois, and Du buque county, Iowa, and to each of those who have materially as sisted in compiling our work, we take this method of thanking them. We realize that some errors may have crept into the work, but in a general way it is an authentic and brief description of the mines and prospects actively engaged in mining up to March 25th, 1906,
The book will be republished next year and it is to be hoped will show a wonderful increase in operations throughout the district.

Dubuque
The oldest and richest city in the lead and zinc mining region is Dubuque, the second largest city in Iowa and one of the leading manu facturing cities west of the Mississippi river. Identified with the lead mining industry since 1788, when the first mining was done within the territory of what is now the State of Iowa, Dubuque has marched forward with a substantial, progressive step and to-day is noted by every visitor as the handsomest and most substantial city in the West.
Millions upon millions of lead ore have been taken from the mines within the city limits; many of the rich inheritances which have marked the fame of Dubuque as a city owned and controlled by its own capital, came from the lead mines. The older mining families acquired a competency and with the commercial growth of the city the younger element did not take kindly to the labor devolved in the primitive methods pursued in mining by their parents, and as a result the mines were comparatively neglected. With the dawn of new methods in mining and the excitement now under way, the Dubuque mines will soon be going at full blast.
That Dubuque is rich in lead and zinc ore has already been proven. In fact within the past two months hundreds of expert min ing men from all points of the country have examined the mines in Dubuque County and all of them speak in positive tones of the plenti ful supply of ore yet unmined.
In area Dubuque County includes G,010 square miles and is divided into eighteen civil townships. The periods of discoveries of lead run from 1750 to 1838; second a period of early geological work from 1839 to about 18G0; third a period of later geological work from 1870 to 1880; and fourth a period of recent investigation from 1890 to date. These reports are fully given in the Geology of Dubuque County by Professor Samuel Calvin State Geologist and H. F. Bain and pub lished in 1899.

The Geology of the Ore Bearing District of Dubuque and Vicinity
By Pkof. Jno. A. Anderson, Dubuque High School.
In this ore-bearing district five distinct geological formations are to be noted, viz: Niagara limestone, Maquoketa shales, Galena limestone, and Saint Peter's sandstone. The principal exposed rock of the region is the Galena limestone so called from the fact that in it is found large quantities of lead ore or Galena. Overlying the Galena are the Maquoketa shales which have been nearly all removed by erosion, and above the shales was the Niagara formation, a massive limestone several hundred feet thick. Sinsinawa. Scales, and Sherrill Mounds are remains of the Niagara and in the western part of the county it is the principal rock. Where streams have cut deep valleys through the Ga lena, the blue Trenton is seen below. In a few places north of Dubuque the St. Peter's sandstone is exposed several feet above the Mississippi river. The sandstone underlies this whole region immediately below the Trenton.
It is in the Galena and Trenton that the lead and zinc ores are found. They occur as* float mineral, vertical sheets, cave deposits, disseminated bodies, horizontal sheets or flats, and pitches. The rock originally contained lead, iron, and zinc compounds widely distributed which have been carried by percolating waters to the crevices, there coming in contact with surface waters containing organic matter, when a chemical change took place and the minerals were deposited as we now find them. These underground waters have played an important part in the distribution and deposition of the mineral. The de posits at the junction of crevices are explained by these differently charged waters com ing together at these places: and making deposits.
Black jack, which is a zinc sulphide, is often found with the lead but in larger quantities below it. Dry bone, which is a zinc carbonate, is found in large deposits fill ing crevices in the same formation that the lead is found. The dry bone is above the water level while the black jack is usually in the water. Iron is found in small quan tities throughout the district and when it is deposited with the zinc it is an iron bisul phide known to mineralogists as pyrites and called "sulphur" by the miners. During the process of concentration of the ores the black jack and pyrites come out together and can only be separated by the expensive process of roasting and subsequent removal of the iron by magnets. The black jack found in the crevices above is quite free from iron (sulphur) and some of the bodies of disseminated jack contain but little iron.

The Galena is a massive dolomitic limestone about 255 feet in thickness, much broken by vertical crevices. In the upper part of the formation these crevices have been enlarged by underground water forming the characteristic ranges of each and west crevices which are connected by north-souths, quarterings, ten o'clocks, four o'clocks, etc., which are names given to designate the directions of the connections.
A few feet of the Maquoketa shales, or disintegrated Galena limestone is encount ered at the surface. About 45 feet below the normal base of the Maquoketa and 210 feet above the Trenton is found a hard massive layer usually four feet thick, the "cap rock" of the miners. Below the cap rock for several feet the beds are softer and the walls of the crevices have been disintegrated to form caverns of varying dimensions and known as the first opening. This opening has been the largest producer of lead. About 40 feet below the first opening is found a second opening and below this about 25 feet is a third opening. These two openings are in the typical massive crystalline Galena. Lead, dry bone and black jack have been taken from these openings but as they are below the water level in nearly all sections, they have been abandoned on account of in adequate machinery.
Between 100 and 110 feet above the Trenton, beds containing large quantities of chert and pockets of calcite (tiff) mark a zone called the upper flint opening. This is about 20 feet below the third opening. A few shafts have been sunk into this region and disseminated jack was found following the crevice down. Up to the present time no explorations have been made below this zone in Dubuque county. Below this are beds of crystalline dolomite 20 feet thick containing little chert. Following this are thick mas sive beds with large amounts of chert which mark another zone called the lower flint opening. The top of these beds is about 80 feet above the Trenton and is the horizon below which the large bodies of disseminated jack and the flats are being found in Wis consin. Towards the base of the Galena the rock contains less chert and the lowest lay ers are intermixed with shale which is somewhat bituminous and corresponds to the "oil rock" of the Wisconsin miners.
The Trenton limestone is about 65 feet thick. In the upper part is a bed of green shales (pipe clay) several feet in thickness which is often soft and plastic. This shale is easily recognized and lies immediately below the Galena. It marks the "pipe clay opening" the horizon which has developed the best bodies of ore in the Wisconsin mines. The Trenton has a characteristic bluish color, with layers, of varying thickness and hardness. In about the middle of the formation is a brittle fine-grained bed called the "glass rock" which is said to produce some fine jack flats. Four to five feet of chocolate-colored bituminous shale also occurs in this bed. It burns freely when lighted but is of doubtful value as fuel. Below the Trenton is the St. Peter's sandstone which does not bear ore. The accompanying cut represents the positions of the forma tions above noted, as found in the Dubuque, Hazel Green and Galena districts.

The Lead and Zinc Region of Southwestern Wisconsin
The following able article published by the Southwestern Wisconsin Miners' Association, is accepted as the correct version of the history of the lead and zinc regions, and also the mining operations at present in vogue.
After a period of nearly half a century Southwestern Wiscon sin is awakening to a realization of greater wealth in mineral than was secured by the lead miners, who made it historic ground before the larger part of Wisconsin had been explored by white men. Unless practical men who have made the study and opera tion of zinc mines almost a life-work are making insane invest ments as well as estimates, the far-famed Joplin district of Mis souri will become insignificant in comparison with Grant, La- Fayette and Iowa counties in this state, Jo Daviess county, Illinois, and Dubuque county, Iowa, as soon as sufficient capital and modern methods are applied to the development of the re gion.
The Geology of Wisconsin, with Prof. T. C. Chamberlain as chief geologist, together with the results of practical experi ments made in the meantime, served to decidedly change the consensus of opinion upon that very important subject, and more enlightened men engaged in the industry. Not only was the presence of larger bodies of lead beneath the old workings indi cated by this report, but the probability of deposits of zinc ore in quantities to make the mining of it profitable. To quote from Professor Chamberlain: "Where lodes have been mined in the upper measures of the Galena limestone, and work has been sus pended by reason of water and other practical difficulties, there
is a strong presumption of valuable deposits below. In the middle and lower portions of the Galena limestone, where lead ore alone has been found at higher horizons we deem it altogether prob able that mixed lead and zinc ores occur. The progress of min-

ing seems to indicate that zinc ores are mo -e widely and abun dantly distributed in the lower beds than has been heretofore supposed. It may be quite unsafe to assume that beneath all the

lead deposits there is a corresponding formation of zinc, and that every crevice that is lead-bearing in its upper reaches will de velop zinc below, but such is the general tenor of evidence, and the general presumption is in favor of this as a rule. It would manifestly be of the greatest importance, if it were possible to determine any definite ratio between the amount of lead in the upper beds and that of zinc below. If the results of experience in a few of the most important mines of the whole region, from which the most of the reliable statistics have been obtained, are to be taken as a fair representation of the general fact, which may be doubted, we shall be justified in concluding that an amount of zinc equivalent to that of lead might not be far from the gen eral rule. But I must say candidly that I deem such a deduction too uncertain to be trusted. But that greater richness in zinc in the lower beds, is being, and is likely to be developed, than has heretofore been indicated by some of my official predecessors, seems to me scarcely questionable.
"I am inclined to the judgment, therefore, that this region, in which the annual zinc product already far surpasses that of lead, and which should rather be called now the zinc district than the lead region, will continue to develop an increasing relative im portance in the latter resource."
That the prediction contained in the last paragraph was warranted is established by the almost marvelous in crease of zinc production in the district since the date.
Zinc value was first discovered in Wisconsin in the early '60s by two young students, who, after finishing their studies at Heidelberg, Germany, came to Mineral Point. They were chem ists and became interested in the analysis of "dry bone" of Smithsonite, and the possible commercial value of the zinc con tained in that ore. The two students were Mathiessen and Hege-
ler and from their discoveries at Mineral Point resulted the smelt ing works which is reckoned as a $2,000,000 plant at the present time, and the industry which has largely built up the city of La Salle, Ill. The first zinc ores were in the State at Highland, Linden and Mifflin in the form of waste from old lead mines. When the ores came on the market thousands of tons of both blend and the carbonates were lying in the old dump piles, tail ings, road grades, etc. These were gathered up and sold at from $4 to $5 per ton, when prices went up and zinc mining then be came general throughout the district and has continued down to the present time with constantly increasing proportions, until to-day Wisconsin ranks second only to Missouri and Kansas in zinc and lead productions. One significant feature of the mining business in Wisconsin is that the properties thus far, or until within the past year, have nearly, if not quite all, been devel oped and worked by individuals or under partnership agreement without the formality of incorporation. The methods employed in both mining and cleaning ores have been of the most primi tive; hand jigs, old style Cornish lift pumps, horse power hoists, etc., having been almost universally employed, until the organi zation within the past year of a number of incorporated com panies with sufficient capital to conduct operations upon the most improved plans.
The accompanying illustrations which are reproduced from T. C. Chamberlain's Geology of Wisconsin, 1882, will give a more satisfactory idea of the strata of the mineral-bearing land and the formation of the ore veins and crevices than any pencil de scription could present. The ideal formations are based upon the scientific investigation by the geologists, and have been con firmed as generally correct by the experience of the practical miners during a long period of years.

Mayor Murphy Of Plattev1Lle
Platteville
Platteville, a city now exceeding 5,000 people and situated upon three of the most prominent table lands in this broad county is to-day the mecca of every one interested in modern mining.
In presenting a picture of Mayor James Murphy, President of the En terprise Mine, we do so without that gentleman's knowledge, but with the full realization that to him belongs much of the praise for applying business meth ods, pluck and energy in the development of mining in the district. Within two years Platteville has increased in population over 1,000 people, and when the fact is known that for months past there has not been an idle house or a vacant store building in the city, a better idea of the growth may be obtained. With the coming of spring there is promised a building boom in Platteville never equalled in a city of like size in this western country. Already applica tion has been made for over 150 building permits and the contractors are still busy figuring on prospective work which will double these figures. Less than five years ago there were but five mills established throughout the district; now there are over sixty and contracts let that will increase this number to one hundred. At the present time only an estimate can be given of the men employed in and around the mines. Careful estimate would place the number in and around Platteville at 1,000, while in Grant County entire the list ap proaches 2,500. The growth of Platteville is identical with that of the other splendid towns in the district. It has been a steady, healthy growth aug mented by the success of the mines and the wonderful ore deposits prevailing.
Mayor James Murphy, in the very prime of his life, has the force of charac ter so requisite to lead the work he has only commenced, and ably backed by vigorous men experienced in modern mining, the possibilities of Platteville and in fact the entire district are beyond all possible calculations.
So rapid has development work been done that within the space of five years which is the time the experiment of deep mining in this section has been attempted that there are now within the city limits of Platteville two mines that are paying on the average of $15,000 in dividends each month. In one of these properties there is paid in dividends each month from one-third to one-half of the capital stock.

The thriving little town of Cuba City claims the distinction of con taining within its immediate environments as many of the larger min ing plants as any point in the district. It is a bright business spot in the best end of the zinc range and contains a population of eleven hun dred people. The mining boom has struck the town in earnest and the coming summer will mark the construction of several hundred houses and a corresponding increase in population. One of the good features of Cuba City is the fact that it is not compelled to rely upon the mines alone for its thrift, but is in the richest section of the stock-raising district of southwestern Wisconsin. Cuba City is bound to be come a prominent point in the new El Dorado.
Cuba City as seen in the accompanying picture is only an illustration of one of its busy days and the merchants and wide awake citizens who make up its community know no such word as fail.

Galena
One of the oldest mining points in the Mississippi Valley District, and one of the most historical cities in the United States is the city of Galena. It was after the death of Julien Dubuque in 1810, that lead mining was carried on in and around Galena, but not until 1830 was it conducted upon an extensive scale. The older residents of Galena recall the days when the Galena levee was piled high with pig lead awaiting shipment by boat to St. Louis.
From 1830 down to the present time mining has been carried on continuously in the district.
Galena for years was the western terminus of the railroad and there are many of the living pioneers who remember the stage routes that led out of Galena to Dubuque and southwestern Wisconsin.
The head of navigation on the Mississippi for years was Galena, when the large packets from New Orleans and St. Louis made it their last northern stopping point. It was no uncom mon sight in those days to see from five to twenty steam boats tied to the levee bank near the present Galena Custom House, all
heavily loaded with freight for transfer to northern frontier points.
The large wai houses and substantial store building on West Main street in those days were crowded with goods.
Galena will always share in the well-wishes of the nation for naving furnished a greater number of gallant officers to the cause of the Union than any city in the country.
To the memory of General U. S. Grant, who went from Galena to the war and whose illustrious name is revered by his country men, Galena has erected a life-sized monument, in a beautiful park maintained by the city. General Grant's old home, filled with curios, is also kept open for the public and is annually visited by thousands of visitors.
Galena at the present time numbers about 8,000 people. The city has newly brick-paved Main Street, and many notable im provements are under way. The city in fact has renewed some of its old-time vigor and is the gateway leading to the mines of southwestern Wisconsin. More improvements will be made in 1906 than in any year in the city's history.

The Philipps & Dechow Mine
is located in Section 28, Township of Beetown, Wisconsin. This mine and 40 acres of land is owned and operated by the above named parties, on a very rich mining range called the old .Grant Range. The above parties have taken out 40,000 pounds of good firstclass lead ore at a depth of 65 feet. At this depth is a drift run in an east direction about 60 feet., west 40 feet. At 80 feet depth is a drift run in a west direction about 40 feet, carrying good paying dirt. Two men can make good wages on lead ore. The shaft is
sunk on down 70 feet. At a depth of 130 feet black jack is coming in of good quality and quantity in a disseminated form. But at this point the owners were run out by water, and not being financially able to put in such pumps and machinery as the mine would need to operate, the owners are contemplating selling out. Any parties wishing to purchase a good proposition will find it to their interest to call on above named parties or write them at Lancaster, Wisconsin, for any desired information.

Montfort
In reviewing the several thriving points in this great zinc region, there are none brighter in prospect or better in develop ment than the locality in and around Montfort, in Grant County. No better description of Montfort is given than the following interesting note from an issue of the Montfort Mail:
Main Street Looking West, Montfort, Wis.
"The advance forward has been steady and to-day Montfort does not take second place to any town of its size in this part of the state. The old style houses have given place to brick blocks, and the old spring to an excellent system of water works. The business men are progressive and up-to-date and keep constantly in touch with the advance of the time. Many of them are the suc ceeding generation of the hardy, honest pioneers who first opened up and peopled the state, and as they exercise the true principles that are theirs by inheritance in their various walks in life, the future of the town is pointed to the pinnacle of success."

Iowa County, A Great Zinc Bearing Field
By J. H. Lewis, Highland, Wis.
As correspondent for the Galena Tri bune the writer Is covering- the entire district and takes especial delight in crawling through the underground work ings of the zinc mines. He is confident that 1906 will be a cracker-jack year in mining circles.
The northern extremity of the famous lead and zinc region of Southwest Wiscon sin includes, beginning with Highland and Centerville, the following mining camps in Iowa County: Linden, Dodgeville, Mineral Point, Mifflin, Rewey; Livingston and Montfort in Grant county. The township of Eden, just south of Highland, is developing some good mines, in the extension of the Centerville ranges, just east of the noted Hornsnoggle and Section Four mines.
The arly history of mining in this area is pregnant with romantic and interest ing data, early pioneer recklessness, lawlessness and daring and the magnet of the min ers' heart, mineral ore, was mined from surface and top openings in large and paying quantities. From the best authentic records at hand, of early settlements it is acknowl edged that the Winnebago Indians had lead diggings in the vicinity of Dodgeville and Mineral Point as early and prior to 1825. Centerville was a mining camp of pretentious proportions in 1836, where the overland stage coach came and went twice a week and where the pioneer settlers of Highland and Montfort came to get their mail. In 1846 Highland experienced an influx of practical miners and old settlers, yet living, one Thomas Edwards, now 85 years of age and a resident of Highland recollects hundreds of people living in tents along Spring Branch south of the log cabin village, there being no houses to accommodate them all.
While it is true that mining for lead was carried on exclusively, the early history of Mineral Point gives conclusive evidence along in the 50's of copper mining on a large scale and a copper smelter was in operation for years, a little south of the present loca tion of the celebrated Mineral Point Zinc Oxide Works and the Sulphuric Acid plant. It is more than probable that copper mining will be resumed at Mineral Point in the near future. In the early 70's the Mathiesen & Hegeler Smelting Co. came into the market for zinc ore and instantly the whole district developed into rich mineral bearing strata but operations on a large scale was not encouraged owing to the ridiculously low prices paid for ores, black jack that now commands $50 per ton being sold for $15. The meth ods employed were simple and crude and thecost of hauling to market dissipated such a healthful percentage of the gross output that mining became a discouraging vocation. There has been a marked advance in prices since 1901, which is responsible for the un precedented era of development apparent throughout the district. Ore has advanced from a standard average price in 1901 of $24.00 per ton to $45.51 in 1905 and the indi cations for 1906 point to a strong demand for zinc ore at high prices.
The building of the Oxide Works at Mineral Point has been a mighty incentive to the mining of carbonate zinc ore more plainly designated as dry-bone.
According to the State Geological Survey there are two great mother ranges of ore bearing strata in Southwest Wisconsin. One has its origin at Ridgeway and traces itself —63—
Steam Heads, Power Heads, Cornish Pumps,—Smedley Steam Pump Co.
on down to Galena, Illinois. The other begins at Highland and leads to Mineral Point, the two effecting a crossing in the immediate vicinity of Linden. The future great production of ore from out the northern portion of the lead and zinc district must he looked for at the mines located in and near the mining towns mentioned in the first paragraph of this article. The writer does not believe
the time will ever come again when zinc will not hold an especial place in the list of the great metals. It now occupies seventh place and new uses are being discovered for it each day. And again it can be used but once, unlike other metals the scraps cannot be re molded into commercial spelter.

The company intends to take up all branches of the mining industry such as mining, manufacturing, pros pecting and developing mines and also to buy, lease, sell, own and operate mines, in fact to do a general mining busi-
The company will maintain a Mining Exchange in the city of Lancaster, Wis., where the public can obtain the latest information obtainable on the different mines and prospects throughout the district and will endeavor in all honorable ways to promote and assist the mining industries of the whole district.
The plan and position the Industrial Company has adopted and will pursue is conceded by all investors to be fair, just and equitable giving outside capital an opportunity or the benefits of locating the mines or in other words, of getting in on the ground floor.
Shares of non-assessable stock are sold at a nominal price to all investors, to do the drilling and locating of the ranges of ores.
Then as the ores are located and the mines are opened up and our properties increase in value, our stock naturally increases in value at the same time. Oftentimes these advances come by leaps and bounds; for instance a mine is very often located and opened up at a few hundred dollars expense that will sell on the market for prices ranging from $25,000 to $1,000,000 unworked.
These mines properly managed and operated pay to the stockholders enormous dividends, as in many cases in this great ore-bearing district the mines are now paying monthly dividends amounting to about 50 per cent of the original cost of the stock, or in other words, 600 per cent annually on the investment. Can you conceive of any other honorable business that will bring you such rich returns for the money you have to invest outside of your regu lar business. Now we wish to impress on the investor's mind, that, while we are incorporated for $1,000,000, there is not a single share of promoters' stock, nor is there any treasury or preferred stock; the $1,000,000 mark is the limit that we are allowed to issue and is all capital stock, and no stock can vote, nor can any stock draw a divi dend that has not been bought and paid for.
A few reasons why it is safer and more profitable to invest your money with a large corporation with fixed purposes in view: First — They can handle a dozen or more mines at about the same office expense that one small company has to pay for the handling of one mine.
Second — They can secure better leases from land owners than the small companies because the land owners want their lands leased to some one who has the requisite amount of money necessary to properly develop and equip the mine and it is to their interest to lease to large companies and have their holdings properly handled.
Third — They can purchase supplies cheaper than the smaller company can.
Fourth — They can secure better transportation rates to and from the mines.
Fifth — They can obtain better prices for their products.
Sixth—Always remember that the stockholders . of a corporation are the owners and that the officers are their employees.
A few reliable solicitors wanted. Send for prospectus and terms to W. E. Lathrop, Secretary, Lancaster, Wisconsin.
Any inquiries as to agricultural matters will be cheerfully answered by G. C. Marlow, Secretary of the Commercial Club and as to mining information write to W. E. Lathrop, Secretary of the Industrial Mining, Manu facturing & Development Company.

The United Mining, Constructing and Manufacturing Co.
Authorized Capital, $1,000,000.00
This Corporation has been perfected by a body of wellknown business men of Montfort and vicinity, with fixed purposes in view. The purpose of this Company is to buy, lease, sell, own and operate mines; in fact, to do a general mining business. To create and maintain a bureau of mining information of the great Wisconsin district for the benefit of investors and the public at large. To erect and operate Foundries and Machine Shops for the constructing and repairing of mining machinery; in fact, to help and assist in every honorable way the mining industries of the whole district. To assist in obtaining better transportation facilities and more equitable transportation rates, also just and uniform prices for ores produced in the district.
There are two very distinct plans of promoting mining and other commercial enterprises, and especially so with the mining companies of this district. The first plan being used is for a party or company of men to form a co-partnership, sometimes four or five, and sometimes these co-partnership companies' num ber of members reach the fifties and even more subscribe a given sum or amount for development purposes, and as the work pro gresses assessments are levied on said subscribers to pay for labor, tools, machinery, etc., until a paying mine is located, when an estimated value of the find is made and the co-partners either sell to an organized corporation or form a stock company them selves and sell their new developments to the new organization.
While thin plan is legitimate and satisfactory to some in vestors, it does not give outside capital the opportunity or the benefits of locating the mines; in other words, of getting in on the ground floor. The plan and position the United Company has adopted and will pursue is conceded by all investors to be fair, just and equitable. Shares of non-assessable stock are sold at a nominal price to all investors, to do the drilling and locating of the ranges of ores. Then as the ores are located and the mines are opened up and our properties increase in value our stock naturally increases in value at the same ratio. Oftentimes these advances come by leaps and bounds; for instance, a mine is very often located and opened up at a few hundred dollars ex pense that will sell on the market at a price ranging from $25 000 to $1,000,000, unworked; this, however, is estimated values, and
in some instances over-estimated and also many times under estimated, as is proven when the mine is properly managed and operated. They pay to the stockholders enormous dividends, as in many instances in this great ore-bearing district the mines are now paying monthly dividends amounting to more than 50 per cent, of the original cost of the stock, or in other words, 600 per cent, annually on the investment. Can you conceive of any other honorable business that will bring you such rich returns for the money you have to invest outside of your regular busi ness?
The United Company has now more than 1,700 acres of choice mineral lands selected by practical, reliable and competent men, and we are reasonably sure of locating some very valuable mines on these holdings. Our present holdings are conceded by all who know them to be very valuable.
Now we wish to distinctly impress on investors' minds that while we are incorporated for $1,000,000, there is not a single share of promotor's stock, nor is there any treasury or preferred stock; the $1,000,000 mark is the limit that we are allowed to issue and is all capital stock, and no stock can vote, nor can any stock draw dividend that has not been bought and paid for. All unsold stock is'blank and does not become a part of the com pany's assets until bought and paid for. The reason this com pany incorporated to also do manufacturing in connection with mining, is that mining and the demand for mining machinery and the repairing of the same is increasing so rapidly in this district that delays in delivering machinery and getting repairing done is not only annoying, but is becoming a serious problem to the mining interests, and there is no question of a doubt but that our manufacturing plant will not only enhance our own mming interests, hut will also be a source of profit to the United stockholders.
The question rests with you whether you wish to join in helping locate and open up the mines and obtain your stock at a nominal price, or whether you will wait until the United stocks go to par and many times par before you Invest.

It is but natural for the re spective towns in the district to claim the location of the large mines. Our object has been to give an impartial and correct descrip tion of these properties regardless of the claims made by some of the more over zealous towns in the district.

Their 50 ton mill with two shifts turns out 16 to 17 tons of zinc per day and from one to two tons of lead. Officers reside at Janesville, Wis. The Baxter mine has been in operation under the present management about one year and a half. The mine was formerly worked by other parties and aban doned. When the present management took hold of it, oper ations were confined to a shaft that is not now used, for not having a pump to remove the water which came in the mine from the spring, they were driven from the shaft in which they were were working to another shaft that had been opened by the former operators. They found ore about 18 inches from the bottom of this shaft, so that if the former owners had gone just that much further, they would have discovered what is now known as the Baxter mine. The mine has been opened up for a distance of about 125 feet. The greatest width is 40 feet. The average depth of ore, which is a rich disseminated ore, is between 14 and 15 feet, although holes have been put down on other parts of the property that show a depth of this ore of as much as 30 or more feet. The vein has been traced up something like 1500 feet. It is said by many who have visited the mine that it is the largest zinc deposit discovered in the district.

Chicago-Benton Zinc Co.
Operating Mine and Mill on Coltman Farm (152 acres) one mile east of Benton, Wisconsin.
Ore was discovered on this land in 1899. As the "Coltman" was known as the greatest dry bone mine in the district—a flat sheet of ore 18 inches thick and 70 feet wide yielding $170,- 000 . 00 .
The great east-west range extending through the Star, Empress, Jug Handle and Swift & Rooney has been explored for a quar ter of a mile through this property, and is intersected by the "four o'clock" which made the Etna, Blende and Ida, also by the "ten o'clock" on which are the Quinlan, Sally Waters and other famous diggings.
Two bone levels have been partially worked out and a big run of jack be low them is now being de veloped. The ore lies in a series of flats and pitches, starting at the grass roots and increasing with depth. A width of 80 to 160 feet has been proven without finding either outer walls. The pump shaft is 83 feet deep and present work is being done on 75 foot level.
This property is equipped with a strictly up-to-date milling plant, with crushing capacity of 100 tons and jig capacity of 50 tons each ten hours.
Two 10 inch cross-head lift pumps, 80 horse power boilers, two 30 horse power Brownell engines, hoisting engine, etc., to
which has just been added an Ingersoll-Sergeant Air Compressor of large capac ity and latest design. All housed in a steam-heated building, with labor-saving devices and complete work shop, ore bins and clean ing room. Work under ground is greatly facili tated by the use of Ingersoll air-hammer drills which are now in use. A tunnel entrance affords easy access to the mine and insures fresh air and safety to the miners.
Considerable quantity of ore has already been mar keted and this mine is now counted a steady producer, and seems certain to soon enter the ranks of steady dividend payers.
The capitalization is modest, yet the larger part of stock is still in the company's treasury. The management is extremely conservative and careful, the oflieial roster being as follows:
President, M. E. Coltman, Benton, Wis.; Vice-President and Superintendent, S. M. Coe, Benton, Wis.; Secretary, F. B. Davies, Chicago, Ill.; Treasurer, F. M. Klingenhagen, Chicago, Ill.; Direc tor, C. E. Davies, Chicago, Ill.

Julien Dubuque and Early Mining in Iowa
By J. H. VANDENBERGE.
History teaches us that as early as 1690 it was known that lead existed in and along the upper Missis sippi valley and one of the first pieces which was found at that time by a Miami chief in a creek, believed to be Catfish Creek which flows into the river a short distance below the present city of Dubuque, or near the site of the original Dubuque Mines, was given to Nicholas Perrot, who was an early explorer of this region where he for sev eral years carried on a profitable trade with the Indians, and was well acquainted with the Miami chief. Perrot visited the place and made due reports to the French government and in 1700 a French explorer by name of Le Sueur, ascended the Mississippi River in search of val uable minerals.
The first mention we find made of the mines was in France in an article by M. Guetard in a volume of the French Academy of Rheims in 1752.
No work of any kind was done to develop these then known lead deposits for nearly a century, from 1690 until 1788, when Julien Dubuque began active operations.
So far as can be ascertained Sieur Julien Dubuque was the first white man who ever settled within the lim its of the State of Iowa. He was a French Canadian, born Jan. 10, 1762 near the banks of the St. Lawrence River some distance above Quebec in the province of
Quebec. He received a good education in those days and was particularly interested in geology, mineralogy and mining. When he was about twenty-two years of age, in 1784, he emigrated west locating in the then province of Louisiana, near Prairie du Chien. He began trading with the Indians, with whom he became very friendly, and he soon learned that some years previous lead had been discovered along the river and after prospecting and locating his territory, determined to procure an interest in some portion of the mineral region. The Fox Indians then occupied a large portion of northeastern Iowa, and Dubuque, being a shrewd intellectual man, soon succeed ed in gaining the confidence of the chief, known as Kettle Chief, and his tribe, and explored the country surrounding for lead ore soon finding that it existed in quantities.
We learn that a Fox squaw named Peosta, had in 1780 discovered lead within the present limits of the city of Dubuque and the wise prospector soon succeeded in persuading the Indians to grant him the exclusive privi lege of lead mining on a tract of land extending along the river from the mouth of the Little Maquoketa to the T.ete des Morts, a distance of about twenty miles and running westward about nine miles.
In drawing up the document making this grant Du buque had written: "We sell and abandon to Dubuque
MARSHALL, DUBUQUE, FOR STEAM BOILERS, TANKS, SMOKE STACKS AND PUMP PIPE.
—158—
Steam Heads, Power Heads, Cornish Pumps,—Smedley Steam Pump Co.
all the coast and contents of the mines discovered by the wife of Peosta, so that no white man or Indian shall make any pretentions to it without the consent of Sieur Julien Dubuque." The grant was dated at Prairie du Chien, September 22, 1788, was written in French and is still in existence.
As soon as he had secured the lease, he brought from Prairie du Chien ten Canadians to assist him as overseers of the mines, smelters, wood choppers and river men. The mining was done entirely by the old men and women among the Indians, the warriors and young men consid ering it beneath them. The work at the diggings was of a most crude and primitive character. No shafts were sunk, and the windlass and bucket were unknown in those days. They ran drifts and inclines into the hills as far as they could go, and carried the mineral out in baskets, in which they took it to the smelting furnace. The min ers' tools in those days were limited to the pickaxe, hoe, shovel and crowbars without the use of powder.
There was a Fox village near where the city of Dubuque now stands, called the village of Kettle Chief and Dubuque by this time having the friendship of the Indians, they permitted him and his companions to make their homes in this village. Dubuque soon learned the habits and superstitions of the Fox nation and in the course of a few years had acquired great influence with them: They gave him the name of "Little Cloud."
'He opened farms, erected houses and put up a smelt ing furnace on a point now known as Dubuque Bluff.
He opened stores, traded with the Indians, and twice a year he took boatloads of lead, furs and hides to St. Louis, exchanging them for goods, supplies and money.
Dubuque and his white colony lived among the In dians, worked the mines and carried on trade for about twenty-two years. Many of the French Canadians mar ried Indian squaws and adopted their modes of living; families of half-breed children grew up, and the place be came widely known as the "Mines of Spain," a name Du buque gave his diggings in 1796.
In 1805 Dubuque, and his partner, Auguste Chouteau had filed a claim with the United States for title to the tract of land he had thus leased from the Fox Indians, which included at that time all the known lead mines and the present city of Dubuque. For nearly half a century this claim was pending before various tribunals. In 1853 the U. S. Supreme Court held that the grant to. Du buque was in the nature of a permit or lease to mine lead and was not intended to convey actual title to the land.
John T. Smith, an Indian fighter and western pioneer bought an interest in Dubuque's grant, after his death, and took possession of the lead works and attempted to carry on mining and smelting, but the Indians refused to recognize his title and the Indian Chief Pia-no-sky, gath ered his warriors and destroyed the buildings, driving all the whites out of the village and across to the east side of the river.

On the 24th of March, 1810, Dubuque was attacked with pneumonia and died after a short illness. The high est honors were bestowed by the Indians upon their dead friend. The entire population followed him to the grave. His death brought a great change to the village, the mines and the white colony.
During the years that the mines were worked by Du buque, from 1788 to 1810, the territory was owned by three different nations, viz: Spain, France and the United States.
The burial place of the pioneer was on a high bluff, two hundred feet above the river, near the site of the old Indian village of Kettle Chief. The tomb over his re mains was an elaborate one, partly of rock, partly of wood, and the whole surmounted by a cedar cross, with the following inscription engraved in large letters: "Julien Dubuque, Miner of the Mines of Spain, died March 24th, 1810. aged 45 years and 6 months." His friend, "Kettle Chief" lies burried near his grave. A picture of the present new monument erected to the memory of Du buque by the citizens, occupies the first page of this book.
For several years after Dubuque's death, the Indians held undisputed title and practically no work was done in the mines.
In June, 1829, James L. Langworhy, a native of Ver mont, purchased an interest in the Galena lead mines and attempted to procure an interest in Dubuque's old "Mines of Spain." He secured Indian guides and explored the
country between the Turkey and the Maquoketa rivers to find the lead mines formerly worked. He made friends with the Indians and gained their permission to work some of the mines. The following year, with his broth er, Lucius H. Langworthy, and a company of miners, he began work.
A village of the Indians which stood at the mouth of Catfish Creek had been depopulated by an attack of Sioux Indians. There were about seventy empty houses stand ing here when the miners from the Galena region crossed to take possession of the abandoned "Mines of Spain. Some of the more foolish and reckless miners thought to intimidate the Indians by burning these cabins and thus prevent their return to the mines.
In June, 1830, the miners of the west side of the river determined to organize a local government. They held a meeting and elected a legislature consisting of Jas. L. Langworthy, H. F. Lauder, Jas. McPheters, Samuel Scales and E. M. Wren and instructed them to report a code of laws.
This pioneer law-making body gathered around an old cottonwood log for a table and proceeded to business. Mr. Langworthy was chosen clerk and kept the records and the following is the code which was adopted:
"Having been chosen to draft laws by which we, as miners, will be governed, and having duly considered the subject, we do unanimously agree that we will be governed by the regulations on the east side of the Mississippi River, with the following ex ceptions :

Article I. That each and every man shall hold two hundred yards square of ground by working said ground one day in six.
Article II. We further agree that there shall be chosen by a majority of the miners present a person who shall hold this article, and who shall grant letters of arbitration, on application having been made, and said letters of arbitration shall be obliga tory on the parties so applying."
The regulations referred to on the east side of the river were the laws established by the superintendent of the United States lead mines at Fever River (Galena). Under their code the settlers elected Dr. Jarote, their first Governor, and it is known that their laws were obey ed and the acts of the legislature as rigidly enforced as have been the more formal acts of later years.
Settlers began to pass over to the new colony in large numbers, but as the invasion of the Indian's country was in direct violation of treaty compacts, the U. S. govern ment was called upon to expel the intruders. Under in structions from the War Department, Col. Zachary Tay lor, commanding the military post at Prairie du Chien, sent Lieut. Abercrombie with a company of soldiers to drive the invaders back 10 the east side of the Mississippi River, and a detachment was left at the mines to protect the Indians in possession of their property.
In 1833, when the lands west of the Mississippi River were thrown open to settlement, the troops were withdrawn from the "Mines of Spain" and in June of the same year, the Langworthy brothers again crossed the river and resumed their work at the mines. Many set
tlers flocked in, a frontier village began to grow up, and a school was opened and before the close of the year there was a population of about 500 in the vicinity of the mines.
Mining operations were begun with renewed vigor and much work was successfully done in extracting lead ores to such an extent that in 1834, Mr. Wm. Waters built a lead furnace near Dubuque for the treatment of the output of the mines. This furnace was the second erected in the United States.
Business and mining prospered wonderfully, and the first bank in the State of Iowa was established in the camp in 1836 by an act passed by the Territorial Legis lature, which convened at Belmont on the 25th day of October, 1836, authorizing the establishment at Dubuque of the "Miners' Bank." The bank was capitalized for $200,000, divided in shares of one hundred dollars each. Miners and business men were named in the charter as the first directors.
Another evidence of the prosperity of the camp was that the first newspaper which was ever published in Iowa was printed in Dubuque. John King came to the Dubuque Lead Mines in 1834 and quickly observed that the camp was destined to become an important one; re turned to Ohio and purchased at Cincinnati a hand press, type and material sufficient to issue a weekly paper.
The type was set for the first number of the "Du buque Visitor," which was issued on May 11, 1836, and dated "Dubuque Lead Mines, Wisconsin Territory."

Mineral Point
One of the Handsomest Cities in the Mining District.
Appropriate to the name of the subject of this article the city of Mineral Point stands to-day one of the leading mining points in the Wisconsin district. Thd city con tains a population of about 4,000 and is the metropolis of the zinc and lead market. The Mineral Point Lead and Zinc works is one of the largest reducing plants in the United States and hundreds of. car-loads of ore are concentrated yearly. Away back in the pioneer mining days Mineral Point was settled by a sturdy band of Eng lish miners. These sons of old Brittania had worked in the mines of Yorkshire and Cornwall and were familiar with the requirements of their newly adopted home. With that sturdy, honest and never-failing disposition characteristic of "Cousin Jack" they soon opened and de veloped the mines and up to the present time they or their worthy sons have continued to make Mineral Point the leading mining camp in the eastern district.
Mineral Point is beautifully located upon a series of hill tops. The city is rich in everything going to make a modern home town. The business, educational and social features are the best and there is that air of refinement prevailing which signifies at once the absence of poverty and failure. Two splendid hotels, the Royal and United States, serve the traveler with the best in every particu lar.
Mineral Point contains many of the foremost men in the mining district. Men who have amassed fortunes in mining and who have gained fame abroad. Messrs. E. Y. Hutchinson; Mr. Philip Allen, Mr. J. Mcllhon; Mr. Cal. Spensely, Mr. J. Crum; Dr. C. J. Fawkes; Mr. W. A. Jones, ex-Indian Commissioner under President McKin ley ; Mr. N. Snow, mine operator, and many others, con stitute the backbone of several of the principal mining ventures of southwestern Wisconsin.

Zinc Industry of the United States
This Country Leads World in Production and Consumption
By Walter J. Ballabd.
The United States leads the world in both the production and consumption of zinc, according to "Mineral Resources of the United States, 1904" issued by the United States Geological Sur vey, and confirmed by European compilations recently reported by Consul James C. McNally of Liege, Belgium.
Production
United States .166,700

tion in 1904 over 1903 at 54,000 tons of 1,000 kilograms (2,204 pounds). Both compilations give the world's lead in zinc pro duction to the United States, and admit that its production was almost entirely the product of American ores. In fact, we im ported in 1904 only $50,682 worth of zinc, while we exported in the same year $2,118,000 worth of zinc and zinc ore, an increase of $897,000 over 1903. In 1872 our import of zinc was $1,175,000. Between $1,175,000 imports in 1872 and $10,682 in 1904 lies the satisfactory history of a generation in American zinc mining, coupled with a growth in zinc exports of from $26,000 in 1872 to $2,118,000 in 1904, $2,000,000 increase. Missouri-Kansas leads heavily in American zinc production, 107,048 long tons out of 166,700 tons in 1904. Illinois was second with 47,740 long tons. The united share of the world's production was 26.9 per cent, in long tons. In 1903 our share was 25.2 per cent., but in 1896 it was only 17.4 per cent., an increase in eight years of 9.5 per cent.
World'S Consumption.
These are the American figures and practically agree with the European figures, which put the world's increased produc-
Then as to the world's consumption of zinc, the figures are, comparing with 1903, as follows:

These figures are an increased consumption in 1904 over 1903 of 49,000,000 tons of 2,204 pounds each, showing that the world's consumption increased within 5,000,000 pounds of the world's increased production.
It was in 1902 that the United States first passed Germany in the consumption of zinc with 137,918 tons against Germany's 131,800 tons, while in 1895 we were 42,561 tons behind Germany. In the nine years Germany's consumption has increased one-third, while ours has doubled. It is thus now evident that the United States will always maintain its position as the leading zinc consuming country in the world.
Then, as the world's production and consumption of lead the European figures give the lead to the United States. The fig ures, in tons of 2,204 pounds, of the world's lead production in 1904 over 1903, are as follows:
The net increase in the woild's lead production in 1904 over 1903 was about 54,000, against no increase in 1903 over 1902. Of that 1904 increase of 54,000 tons, much more than half, 33,400 tons, was attributable to the United States. The nearest ap proach to that was Australia with 25,000 tons increase, followed by Germany with 13,100 tons increase. Our lead in lead produc tion is apparently unassailable.
As to the world's lead consumption in 1904 and 1903, the figures of principal consumption are:
1904 1903
United States .311,200 273,648
Great Britain .237,448 235,117
Germany . 175,799 167,516
France . 78,589 79,958
Russia . 42,000 41,000
Austria-Hungary . 21,547 22,361
Here we lead again with an unassailable lead.

Dodgeville
The County Seat Op Iowa County, Wis.
Is an incorporated city of 2,200 population, situated at the northern terminus of the Dodgeville and Freeport line of the Illinois Central Railroad and on the Milwaukee-Galena line of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway, 179 miles northwest of Chicago, 130 miles west of Milwaukee and 48 miles west of Madison, the State Capital. Its location is a particularly beautiful and health ful'one, being upon gently rolling ground with excellent drainage. It has seven well equipped churches, as follows: Methodist- Episcopal, Congregational (English and Welsh), Baptist, Catholic, Welsh Presbyterian and Primitive Methodist. In educational matters, Dodgeville occupies a proud position, its people sparing no necessary expense in providing every facility for the proper schooling of the rising generation. Two commodious buildings, fitted with all modern appliances for health and comfort, furnish ample accommodations for its 600 pupils, and its graded schools comprise eight departments and a kindergarten, under a teaching force whose efficiency is always well maintained. Its High School ranks among the foremost in the state, having an enrollment of about 200 pupils and a faculty of six instructors. Its graduating class in 1905 numbered forty-two pupils. It can be said of our school grounds, without fear of successful contradiction, that they
are the most beautiful and best kept up public school grounds in the United States. There is also a well managed parochial school in connection with St. Joseph's Catholic church. The city owns a system of water works which furnishes an adequate supply of pure water for all purposes, and has an exceptionally efficient fire department. No fire has been allowed to spread from the building in which it originated, and no building has been entirely destroy ed by fire since the water works were established, in 1893. The streets and buildings are lighted by electricity from a plant un-' der private ownership. A local telephone exchange with over 400 phones and connections radiating '50 miles or more in nearly all directions is maintained by the Inter-State Telephone Co., and long distance communication with the world at large is furnished by the lines of the (Bell) Wisconsin Telephone Co. The city con tains one National and two State banks with combined resources of about $700,000.00 and a steadily growing business. Commer cial figures are practically unknown in the community, there having been but three or four such failures in 30 years, scattered over long intervals, and none for several years past. Dodgeville and Iowa County in general have less crime and litigation than is found anywhere else in the world in cities and counties of equal

population. Two terms of Circuit Court for the county are held each year, but it is a rare thing for the calendar for a term to contain as many as six criminal cases, and they generally minor ottenses, or for a term of the court to last more than six days. Taxation in the city is light, generally about one per cent on an assessment of about 75 per cent of the true value of property, and fully half of the amount raised is devoted to school purposes. A canning factory which turns out from 25,000 to 30,000 cans of corn or pumpkin a day during the season, and whose products com mand the top price of the market; a wagon, carriage and plow factory; two cigar factories, one of them the largest in this rev enue district; a butter tub factory, and a lead smelter are among the industries already established here, all doing a prosperous business. Three newspapers — The Republic, issued Tuesday; The Chronicle, Friday morning; The Sun, Friday evening — furnish the means for the purveyance of news and advertisements, and all are unselfishly devoted to advancing the interests of the com munity. Four hotels—The Higbee, The Grand, The Dodgeville and The City — the two former equipped with all modern conveni ences — furnish excellent accommodations for transient visitors at very reasonable rates. The Dodgeville Public Library, the Dodgeville Band, and one of the handsomest and most modern auditoriums furnishing standard theatrical entertainments. These and many other things might be mentioned among the attrac tions of Dodgeville, but let this suffice. What Dodgeville wants is men of means and enterprise to come here and enjoy the good things we have and assist us in developing our mineral and manu facturing resources. Lead and zinc mines have been profitably worked here in a primitive way from time immemorial. Much
wealth has been taken from beneath the ground, but with im proved methods, we have full faith that the past has been as noth ing to what the future will be. Factories located here will be free from labor troubles, living expenses will be less than in the larger cities and operatives will enjoy contentment and pros perity. This community is bred in the spirit of air play as be tween man and man, or capital and labor, which would exert a strong influence in adjusting any difficulty which might arise. The Dodgeville Commercial Club will take pleasure in answering questions and extending courtesies to all looking for good loca tions for mining, manufacturing or other business. The officers of the club are; J. H. Ford, President; W. J. Pearce, Vice-Presi dent; F. W. Hadden, Recording Secretary; J. I. Hahn, Financial Secretary; D. H. Williams, Treasurer; Board of Directors: Her man Heller, Chairman; W. H. Thomas, John M. Reese, A. S. Hearn, Llewellyn Davies, T. M. Strong, A. L. McKinlay; Indus trial Committee: J. H.
