MINERAL NEAR #MENA.
A Manganese Deal Has Been Closed by
 Chicago Parties.

In personal letter to the editor of the Fort Smith News Record, Land Commissioner Fred A. Horn beck gives some interesting facts in regard to the manganese property near Mena, Mr. Hornbeck says: .Mena is built on solid rock, and I believe there is plenty of room in the grand old State of Arkansas fer Little Rock, Fort Smith Mena and other good towns. The Mineral interests of Polk county are being developed, and their richness is most surprising. MacMilIian, Good rich and Wheaton, of Chicago, H., have recently closed manganese deal near Mena involving seventeen thousand dollars this practically gives them complete control Of about 500 acres of manganese prop erty, the real value of which, wheE developed, will amount to several millions of dollars. Mr. George D. Wheaton, who is giving his personal attention to the matter, considers this tbezmost valuable manganese property he has ever seen; he also thinks that it will average about 70 per cent. metallic oxide of manga nese, with a freedom from deleteri- ous matter rarely found in deposits of this magnitude. The company has already commenced active de- velopment, and expects to employ several hundred men within the next sixty days.

Among the people of England and vicinity are many ex-Confederate soldiers. and as the next reunion of the ex- Confederate Veterans of Lonoko and Prairie counties will be held at Lonoke the Vetrans should form a local camp at England and send del egates to the meeting to be held at Lonoke on Friday, the 22d inst, fer the purpose of setting the date of the reunion for 1997.-L Loaohe Citizen.
