1t is now some years since your CORES

not only be the leading paper of the County
| but of this country-printed and published
| by man who worked at the infantile font
of the arcadia Prospect, $50 named by your
! humble seryanD in the ante bellunl days,
who withstoOd the scorching Furnace" of
Ironton and proved himself too tough a
clinker or too hard metal to be carried
southwark by the piumbagO drift, or tloated
too far north on frothy tluX. No wonder,
then, If he and his should decorate the VAL
ley-the watchpocket of the Mississippi
| river guardian-with a registering record
worthy of the OZarks-real backbone of this
continent; possibly he is sprung from that
Artist who invented oil painting in the 18th
century named Van Ech-one of the finest
artists of that day. Would that your office
were furnished with those facilities for etch-

places, for one can tell more to the eye of
descriptive scenes in ten minutes than he
can in the most graphic-eXcept ph0n0-

Twas, then, on the 10th of May, of all
days in the year-the twenty eighth ami

the headwaters of three beautiful streams,

hard names, to be sure, but when we con-
slider the lucky sign they inclose-that of the

monosyllabiC grandeur of the first two, and

rather, undeveloped, quarries it waters.

sne query as to whether the wolves that

Iron Ores of Southeast Missouri.

IRONTON, Mo-, May 18th, 1889.
| This region contains Il large number of
iron veins and deposits of the best quality,
for the manufacture Of steel, etc. We have
the celebrated Iron Mountain, Pilot Knob
and number of other extensive veins of
the above ores. At the present time Pilot
Knob and Iron Mountain are the only two
mines In operation. We have the Shut-In
iron mines, located about three miles east of
this place, with a good wagon road to the
mines. The ores at this mine are found in
veins, of the specuiar variety and are very
pure. The veins occur in a reddisht por-
phyritic hill, and can be mined by either
shaft or tunnel. Some mining has been car
ried on by open cut on one of the veins
which, in places, shows thickness of about
fourteen feet of good, steel producing ore.
Several thousand tons have been mined and
shipped from this property. At the foot OF
the hill on the south side, and near the
county road, a vein of about two feet crops
out. Here the vein is found to run nearly
north and south and nearly vertical. There
is number of other veins cropping out
within radius of twenty feet, and appear
to be centering or approaching each other
as they enter the hill towards the north.
Very little work has been done at this point
towards the development of those veins
Taxing into consideration the large vein on
the northwest side of the hill, and the veins
on the south side, there is no doubt, if this
property was further developed, that an
immense body of good would be dis
covered.
LEWIS MOUNTAIN
Is located about one mile distant from Ar
cadia. This property has not been worked
since 1874. A vein Of specular iron ores
strikes across the hill nearly in north
west course, and is from three to six feet
wide and appears to be vertical. The de-
velopments made was by tunnel and shaft.
Large quantities of ore have been shipped
from this property.
MINDEN MINES
are situated about one mile from this place,
and lie south of Pilot Knob, distance of
one half mile. This property is partially
developed. The vein is being discovered at
the foot of a low hill, and strikes northwest
southeast and dips to the southwest of about
forty degrees. Here the vein shows persis-
tam outcrop for about one hundred feet and
is from eight to twelve feet thick of jasper
and ore. The ore is of the same class as
Pilot Knob ore. This vein has been proven
by diamond drill and shaft work. The ores
at the outcrops are principally number two
or lean ore, or perhaps one-third of the ore

DeS Are Reunion.

| don't know how it happened, but nearly
all the boys and girls of olden times met
here Saturday and Sunday. On Friday Mr..
j. w. Eagand, our old teacher came and
Saturday night the following boys arrived:
Reuben Butts, Jno. Collins, johnson Myers,
Will Farrar: Among the ladies here were
Mrs. Jno. Collins, Mrs. VIII Cole and baby,
Mrs. Will CRANE and Will Craine. All these
girls and boys were pupils of j. w. Rag,and
and 1t looked so much like old times to see
them together. They attended the Baptist
Sunday school and made the best music l
ever heard. They fairly raised the roof off
the house. They all left Monday for their
different homes. 1t must have been great
pleasure to Il. Omohundro and lady to have
their children all together once more.

'.''s'i..er one and is adapted to the manu-
lac. size of steel. This mine has been tested
by three diamond drill holes. Two of these
no !es proved the vein to be thicker and the
ore to be of better quality than is being
found in the shaft. The third drill hole was
stopped before it had reached the proper
depth to strike the ore. The vein dips and
is proven to extend in depth under the val
ey. This property is well located and will
prove to be a good investment. The vein
has soft porphyry for foot wall, while the
hanging wall is a conglomerate, and above
this the third magnetism limestone exists.
This vein will undoubtedly develop in depth
rich body of specular iron ore, equal to
to any ore in this district.
sHEPLEY MINES
are located about one and half miles from
this city and are partially developed. Sew
eral hundred tons of ore have been shipped
from this place. Very little mining has been
done on this property, and it is worthy Of
further developments. The ores are found
in slate and porphyry. The ore occurs at
the foot of a low hill, considerably mixed
with Il jasper and quartz. Two veins or de-
posts have been found on this property.
Other veins are known to exist in this reg
ion. Not much prospecting has been done in
this region of late years for iron ores. In
all probability, if parties who own the above
properties would prospect with diamond
drill, they would strike extensive bodies of
rich ores. l. G.

THE PUBLIC PRINTER.

Long before Public Printer
Palmer took charge of the Gov
erhment Printing office, we said
that the President had appointed
good man. Since MIR. Palmer
has had charge of that Office, he
has certainly treated the colored
people well. He seems to have
no prejudice and there are but
two or three things we desire to
suggest. We hope that Mr.. Pal
mer will appoint several colored
young ladies in the Press room.
We want to see one or two color
ed promotions as foremen IN
the Printing department, and
above all things we shall be pleas
ed to see several proof readers
and copy holders appointed. Mr..
Rounds was the first man to ap-
point a cplored man and we hope
that Mr.. Palmer will see the
necessity of doing a great deal
better than Mr.. Rounds, although
we have nothing to say against
the late Sterling 2. Rounds, but
what is complimentary. He was
a good man.

THAT CHIEF CLERK.

If Secretary Noble wants to sat-
lsfy the Republican party and
especially those who have ever
been faithful to the cause of Re
publicanism, he will remove
Chief clerk Dawson from his po-
sition and appoint a good Repub-
llcan in his place. We want to
see a man Chief Clerk who has no
prejudices against the Negro. 1t
is impossible for good Republi-
can to be appointed to respecta-
BILE position SO long as Dawson is
Chief Clerk. He believes that
spittoon cleaning, cutting grass,
washing windows, &C., are good
enough places for educated Ne
groes TO fill.
Will Secretary Noble continue
this man Dawson in such a re.
sponslble position? All the Ne
gro asks MIR. Noble is fair play
and an opportunity to show what
he can do.

SOUTHERN LEADERS
NEEDED.

"F. III. R." of Macon, Ga, evil
IDENTIFY belongs 20 the new school
of politics in the South. He says
that the men now in Congress
"are lucky wlrepullers and mere
shrewd politicians and that,
s'The most effective politician rallying
cry in the South to-day is, This is
white mans government" 1t brings to-
gether the most incongruous elements
among the whites and makes them
deaf TO all discussions of the issues be-
tween the parties as defined in tfeir So
called declarations of principles. / can
not see that this race feeling has weak
ened materially in the tweDty-four years
that have elapsed since the negro became
q citizen. 1t is about as strong in the
Young white voter who WAS born since
the war as il is In the old mau who was
''ruined" by the fall oi the Coufederacy.
1t seems to me that politics in the South
ie doomed to be, at least for long time
to come, a question not of reason but of
race"
We have always maintained
that the white people of the South
were building up an imaginary
terror Negro domination to
frighten themselves and children
with. The Negro of the South
has never sought TO dominate
over the whites. All they ask
for is the right to vote and bave
the same fairly counted. When
the South shall choose leaders OF
the seeming fairmlndness of
ST. 81. r." who will discuss is
sues of national importance and
not use their best efforts to raise
a strife and retard the progress of
a race that has always been true
and faithful to them, they will
then have no further use tor the
cry of "This is white mans gov
eminent"

STILL A KICKING.
(Ark. nornett.l

We do thank you We feel that this is
the last office Mr.. Douglass will ever be
appointed TO. We know the Hornett has
neither the ability or influence 10 effect
the administration; but it has the ability
and determination 10 assist in the defeat
of President Hanisson's denomination
and perhaps, if renominated, his re-clec-
ton, unless there is a complete revolution
in his policy towards the Negro. He gave

We are Of the opinion Mr..
Dukes, that you will not be in a
position to prevent the renomina-
tion of President HARRISON, if he
wants it in '92. We still aver
that the President will do every
thing satisfactory for the party lea
ders at the proper time, and we
want our distinguished contempo-

There is an old fable which
reads as follow:
Once upon time a II the mem

heads not to work for the stomach
because they declared it idle and
useless; the hands refused to

refused to receive it and the teeth
refused to chew 80 the stomach

body found out by starving the
stomach they were starving them

not be understood as defending
any wrong act OF Doctor Derrick,
but it does seem to us that if he
was good enough to fill the pulpit,
the most exalted calling on earth,
he ought to be good enouh to act
as missionary secretary. Which
is of deeper concern, the dealing
with souls that need to be saved,
or handling missionary money
under bond? The public press is
not the medium through which
these matters can be adjusted,
and we earnestly hope the Bishops
letter is the beginning of the end
of this unfortunate affair.

KEEP YOUR WORD.

A man should above all things
keep his word. Under no cir
cumstances should be make a
promise without feeling morally
certain Of his ability to redeem it.
He is or ought to be the best
Judge of his ability in this re-
spect. When man gets repu-
tation for breaking his word in
small matters, he is hardly fit to
be trusted in large matters. 1t
requires a greGt deal OF courage
for man to say just what he
means, and to do just what he
says. No man is thoroughly
honest who cannot do either and
the woods are full of men who
have not entered this rule upon
their code of ethics. After all
honesty is the best policy and the
safest policy; many an aspiring
politician mas lied himself into
solitude.

BISHOP PAYNE DENOUNCED
The OLD MAN GOT HIS FOOT INTO II
(THE METHODIST UNIoN,)


The New York Age of the 18th
ult., printed scathing protest
from Bishop Payne. senior Bishop
of the A. NJ. E. churh against the
election of DIR. Derrick to the po-
sition of corresponding secretary
of foreign missions. The Bishop
blundered in forcing this matter
into public print. We credit the
bishop with honest motives, and
yet his letter is not entirely free
from personal spleen. Thd posi-
ton the Bishop assumes is not
consistent with what we regard
his du'y. We are creditably IN
formed that only a few mouths ago
Bishop Payne worked earnestly to
have DIR. Derrick elevated to the
Bishopric And further that DIR.
Derrick has been serving as pastor
in Bishop Payne's district since
these wrongs are alleged to have
been committed. There he was
placed land evidently by Bishop
Payne) In a position that carried
him into the homes of many good
families. If this be true, then
