Contrasting this with the silver
WELD of the European mines, we
lind that it is, as the Philadelphia
Sun says, vastly superior. The mines
of Zerinofsk and Krioakofsk in the val
ley of the Oh, yield 01 per cent on an
average. Those of Sala, in Sweden,
yielded in the proportion of O.OOl5 to
O125 or 40 to 40S ounces to the ton when
first opened, but since then there has
been a remarkable falling off. In
Cornwall, England, in 1852, the lead
raised averaged So ounces to the ton, and
that of Devon 40 ounces, the highest of
any mining district in England. And
here we will diverge long enough for
me to call your attention to the fact
that the East Wheal Rose Mine cOmpa-
ny's fEnglapd) shares, on which only fif-
ty pounds have been paid, have stood as
high as fifteen hundred pounds in the
market. So much for the value of mining
shares of mine whose yield is as one
in thousand compared with what we
can get from the Kellogg mine. But
we come back. Consulting Whitney's
book we find the average yield of silver
of all the silver-lead mines of Great
Britain to be 1862 ounces per ton, and
these are equal to the best of the conIi-
mental mines. From this a very cor
rect idea may be formed of the value of
our mines, for which We claim as much
as has ever proven true of the celebrated
Emma mine.u And this is no exaggera-
ton of the most remarkable mine yet
brought to the attention of the public; a
mine whose riches have been known to
but few, and upon which most of that
few have been silent. Some had
worked in them in a hand-grab
I
a fortune in few years and then re-
tired to dissipate what came so easy,
and vet others, unable to secure or
furnish the capital for working them on
large and proper scale, and in a sue
cessful way, were willing that all
knowledge of them should die out in
hopes that some unexpected turn of the
wheel of fortune would put them in
complete possession. But at last, after
wears of idleness, during which Arkan-
| sas has reached an important place in
the Union, and has begun to develop a
railroad system of unusual promise,
| bringing her into intimate cOnnec-
ton with all the important CEN
| ters of the Union, the Kellogg
mines, almost as important and
valuable to Little Rock as the iron
mines of Missouri to st. Louis, are to
be opened and worked by n company
| having ample capital, controlled by gem
| tlemen whose names are synonyms for
shrewdness, tact and skill in CONNER
oial affairs; men who understand what
they are about, and who, representing
almost every phase of life, are we'll
known to the Memphis public for integ-
rity, probity and public spirit. Among
them is the president of the chamber Of
commerce, Mr.. Napoleon Hill, himself
an old and experienced California miner,
and MIR. f. S. Davis, president Of the
| First National bank, one of the largest
and most impOrtantip in thesouth. Besides
these we might mention Colonel W. Il.
Vance, a capitalist of well-known dis
i cretion, and Colonel EdmOndson, ever
since its organization, general agent o.
the Carolina life insurance company
an institution second TO none in the
country. The law is wellrepresented by
Colonel LID. MeKissiek, and the medical
fraternity by Doctors Woodward and Err
skine. The others named represent
the insurance and mercantile interests
generally, and are most favorably
known and highly esteemed by theil
fellow-citizens. They have closely anC
carefully investigated the claims of ths
original finders and friends of the kel
logg mines, have expended mach in Sc.
curing surveys and assays, and have de
termined, SIS the legitimate re-
suit of it all, to put uI
engines and machinery necessary to thu
working Of the rich leads in manne
equal to that which obtains at the bes
managed mines in Europe or the Unite'
States. Little Rock and Arkansas vii
be benefited, but Memphis win reap thi
richest portion OF a wealth that seem
almost fabulous.
