Mines Revive at Multiple Locales Including Omaha and Hannibal
The week sees renewed ore production across several mines led by Lafe Griffith at the Omaha mill and Dr. Ladd taking charge of the Hannibal and St. Joe mine with a new Worthington pump. The Good Luck mine reports 88,000 pounds of high grade zinc ore sold last week, while the Joanna, Mason now the Success, and Eastman firms move carloads of zinc, lead, and silicate ore. Sweeney & Sons hold additional ore, and the camp remains prosperous with more properties resuming operations. A $10 reward is offered for evidence to convict saboteurs damaging the Barber Telephone Company property.

Optimistic view of 1908 farm prosperity for manufacturers

He notes higher prices add roughly 585 million for corn and over 100 million for wheat, predicting substantial income gains and broad prosperity for farmers and related industries.

Prosperity forecast urges factory upscaling and wage rise
An analysis notes four year farm product values totaling 28.8 billion, driven by price increases rather than volume, signaling higher living costs and wages. It warns of labor shortages on revival and urges manufacturers to install labor saving devices and accelerate construction to prepare for a tighter labor market and heavier rail activity. It also reports local accidents and civic projects, including a new Lincolnville schoolhouse and updates on residents F. Duff and Mrs. Morrow.
