SUMMARY.

I believe that / have mentioned
enough in the above to Prove that
Crittenden county is, to say the least
unusually rich in mineral deposits.
All that is required to insure her the
condition of prosperity to which
these natural advantages entltle her,
is spirit of enterprise on the part
Uf her citizens, and capital to devel-
Ope them, Among the first steps to
be recommended are greatly increased
facilities for transportation, not only
in the Way of railways but county
roads. For obvious reasons, this
point cannot be too strongly urged.
The Development of the mineral
deposits should be along two natural
lines. In the first a revival of the
coal industries go hand i'm hand.
These alone would be of great conse-
quence in the progress of the county.
In the second line the development
of the lead and zinc, barite, and fuor
spar deposits; ochres and other cheap
pigments, are naturally associated.
If it could be managed, one large
company or syndicate ought to con-
troll all of the items mentioned in the
second line In that case a large
plant might be established at some
point along the river, say Tolu for
instance, where the various products
might be worked up. All sorts of
paints could be manufactured there.
Having the crude material and the
sort of transportation close at hand,
enterprise if properly conducted,
could scarcely fail to be renumera-
tive.
And, why wGuld it not be wise to
establish pottery ut the same locali-
ty? With the fine clays of the Pur-
chase so near, and as good spar as
can be found anywhere, close by.
white pottery ware might be manu-
featured under more advantageous
circumstances than at any point
where that industry is carried on.
But l have said enough. The re-
mainder lies with you and the capt.
talists. Respectfully,
T.. D. ULRICH.

the subject. Imperfect and injudici-
GUS lighting and bad development
may not only totally destroy the like
ness but render beauty hideous. This,
however, may be avoided by the ope-
rator, who possesses the artistic ele-
ment in his training, and pictures are
satisfactory or otherwise according to
the resources of the photographer
ability and skill. Mr.. Stewart does
some fine work and makes speciality
of view-taking. The photographs
from which the cuts were made that
illustrate this edition show his highly
artistic work.

1t may be po;itively asserted, even
OF an era so intimately associated with
the truly prolific of all that bears up
on the arts and sciences, that no tea-
ture ofart has made such rapid strides
toward perfection as photography, in
this the nineteenth century; ard es-
pecially is this true Ct a period en-
braced within the past twenty years,
wherein what is known as artist pho
Biography sprang into existence. This
term is employed to represent the ia
king of photograph as reduced to a
practical art, an art of the most adj
