T. Rutherford, who recently completed a two days’ investigation of conditions governing the price of zinc ore in the Joplin district, refrained from stating positively whether the supreme court will be asked to make an examination based on the information he has pro- cured from mine operators. With spelter prices increasing al- most daily, but with zine ore having recently decreased in price, mine op- erators asked for the supreme court investigation. “I have heard some things,” said Mr, Rutherford, “which, if true, would indicate that operators of the Joplinr district are not being treated exactly right in the matter of ore prices. “If an investigation is decided upon it would not be held before next May. The regular session of the supreme court will demand all the time of the attorney, general's office for the next two months.” ivieesesv ses . 300 400 400 400 400 1 10000 ~ a uw 3t Landmark Is Being Razed. 1800 The old Quarles mansion at Colum- bia, built seventy years ago, at which Senator William Joel Stone of Mis- souri and Judge H.
