Rich ore finds push Quapaw mining camp growth
Ore from shaft No 3 extends the Hobo region and zinc ore tops camp quality with concentrate yields above 60 percent while lead runs 80 to 82 percent. Two cars of zinc ore were omitted from last report. Adam Kahr’s Old Abe mine shows strong prospective output with high grade zinc in bins and led to improving outsider interest in the Quapaw district. Creech & Co report breakthrough lead strikes in the Joanna mine with Jim Creech planning to ship a car of chunk lead next Monday.
