AN IRON AND STEEL PLANT
WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN MENA
 AT AN EARLY DAY.
To Utilize the Iron Ore and Manganese Tn Our Hill Sides and Mount
 aims In Making Steel.

MT. Geo. M Craig, general agent of the Mena town company, returned Saturday from Kansas City bringing excellent news To representa- tive of the Star Mr. Craig stated that negotiations had been entered into looking to establishing extensive iron and steel works at Mena and this in the rear future.
 Those versed in the minerals of this section have known for many years that sb gre were inexhaustable quanti- ties of iron ore of the brown hamatite variety in the hills near this place, and almost side by side, was heavy depos- It's of the best grade of manganese, which is indispensable in the manu- fracture of steel The one thing needed to successfully utilize these minerals was railway transportation and now that the K. c. r. & c. railroad has been built to this place capitalists in terested in the manufacture of iron and steel are becoming interested and making investigations. As a result a prominent representative of the K. C. P. lS C. railroad and the Mena town company, is now in the east negotiat- ing with prominent manufacturers of steel to locate plant here. While not permitted 10 give the particulars to the pubic, we are assured by Mir. Craig that the company, by its repre- sentative, is prepared to make offers which cannot we'll be refused and that will surely cause the plant to be built at this place.
 In addition to the iron and manga nese ores found so abundantly here, 1t is now known that there is also plenty of coal for use and from which to make coak to be used in furnaces, thus it would appear that no better field for such an enterprise can be found in the United States than right here at Mena
 But few of our people realize what the location of an iron and steel plant would mean for Mena. Such plant as the company is determined to se- cure will give employment to not less than one thousand men and these, with their families would make u large addition to our population. Aside from this the location of such a plant here would attract other mann- facturies and in thls way Mena would soon become city of ten thousand in- habitaEts. Let the good work go on.

Great wealth lies hidden in the hill sides and mountains of this section, some of it coyly peeping out from the surface inviting the miner with his pick and shovel to dig 1t out and send it to the mark cts, now that the railroad gives him a caance to do so.

 This is one uf the most impor- tant stops taken n thc Improve ment If Mcna sinee lhe town was started Nothing adds 50 much to tlie attraction of ! new town as the fact that 1t has, or soon will have, good school facilities The rapid increase of population, to- gethor with the positive assurance of several manufacturies being located here in the near future, bringing hundreds of families with numerous children needing school privileges, shows the ne- cessity, and proves the wisdom of the townsite company in thus early providing for a good school here.
