Prof Mority informs us that things are moving lively at the Cossatot mine Engine, boiler and pumps have been ordered and will soon be on the ground. The road leading down to the mine, requiring a great deal of labor. has been completed and large force of men are at work in the mine, taking out ore which will be hauled here by wagon and shipped to Kansas City smelters. It is the intention to ship car the last of this week Dr. Can field, of Sloan Springs, a stoclholder of the Cossatot Mining and Reduction Co. visited the mine last week and is very much pleased with the way it is showing up If there was nothing but the lead and zincln the ore taken from this mine it would be very valu- able. But the fact that it also con- talns silver and gold in large quanti- ties assures the stockholders of the richness of the mine.

In addition to making town on his own account, we are in- formed that the most important feat ure of his business here was to com plete arrangements for the location at this place of an extensive furniture fac torv. Before returning to Kansas City Mr. Braley announced that he had secured the location of the factory here and that ground would be broken for its buildings in ten days from this date. also that it would give employ ment to two huudred and fifty men when once in operation.
 In addition to this we are also in- formed that the Randolph Handle fac used in connection with farm imple- ments is to be moved here at an early date This is contemplated for the purpose of being located close to the material needed in the manufacture of handles the supply having been ex- hausted at the point where the factory is now located.
 That the forests surrounding Mena abound in timber suitable for the manufacture of furniture can be read- fly shown and the quantity of white oak and hickory, the last named grow ing upon the moantains near, and both of the very best quality, causes this to be very desirable place for tine manufacture of all the various kinds of handles.
 These facts together with the fnr. thec fact that factories locating ait Mena can secure guarantees of rail- road rates which will enable them to reach the markets with their products and compete with factories located in the east. is causing this to be locked upon as the coming manufacturing town of Western Arkansas, and ere long much of the furniture and farm implements needed in Texas. the In. dian Territory. Kansas and the great northwest will be made right in this town
