so weak; why they get tired so easily;
why they start at every shgh' ou'

Ed. Register six miles south
of this city on Ketcherside Mountain a
party from St. Louis is prospecting on
a quartzite deposit, which contains sill
yer, copper and gold. The deposit
appears to be from five to eight feet
thick, and is found resting on por-
phyry footwall. Above, and resting
on the ore deposit, is a very hard rock
resembling trap or trachyte, and it ap-
pears to be lying in conformity with
the ore deposit. The ore deposit is
cropping out at the foot of the noun
tain and appears to follow the dip of
the pOrphyry and assumes the shape of
a contact vein. If the deposit keeps
it's present dip and course it will no
doubt keep this same rock for its hang
ing wall and the porphyry for foot
wall. A short distance from the ore
deposit, along the county road, this
same rock is seen cropping out at the
foot of the mountain. Here it appears
to be stratiied, and its strike and dip
is the same as is seen in the ore de-
posit. If the ore deposit keeps its
present strike and course it will follow
this line of stratifcation and may
prove to be true fissure vein as depth
is attained. Here we find deposit of
quartz and other matter, such as clay,
manganese and iron. In these are
found, disseminated through the mass,
yellow sulphuret, green and blue car
Donates of copper; also, iron pyrites,
copper 'pyrites, silver and gold. In
fact, person can suit himself and get
any of the above minerals and ores.
They are not in sufficient quantities to
pay, but the prospects are that this
deposit contains large deposits of cop
per with other minor minerals. An
assay of this ore gave copper, silver
and gold. This assay was made by
the st. Louis Sampling Works, of St
Louis. 1t has been demonstrated at
last that gold does exist in the
quartz veins of Southeast Missouri,
and our State GeOlogist will have to
acknowledge the fact that Missouri
does contain gold, and it may in the
near future be found in paying quanti-
ties. Here is an opportunity for our
State Geologist to send one of their
students to examine this deposit. 1t
was not our geOlOgist that discovered
the gold on this property. but an old
California prospectOr. OF course gold
was found on this property a number
of years ago by Prof Van Cleve Phil
lips and the present owner of the
property. This property is located
not more than three miles from the
railroad, and should the developments
prove satisfactory to the owners it will
cause quite stir among our mining
men. T. B.

Obituary.

Died-At her home near Des Arc,
on August 81, 1897, Mrs. Elizabeth
Long. wife of John Long, aged 40
years, months and II days.
Mrs. Long was a member of the
Baptist church and the Christian for
titude with which she bore her intense
suffering, which lasted nearly six
months, is an example well worth the
notice of her many friends who visited
her while on her bed of Affections.
She leaves a husband, eight child
rem and a host of friends to mourn her
loss. She has long been the true
friend to those that have known her
and her absence is deeply felt
While on her bed of sickness she
constantly prayed for the welfare of
her husband and children, and when
the time came for her to go, she bid
them goodbye. assuring them that all
was we'll. That she was going home
to Jesus where There is Rest for the
Weary"
To the mourning relatives we ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathy, hoping
that the blessed assurance of God will
help them to feel that His way is best.
Dear one, thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel;
But tits Gods hand that hast bereft US,
He can all our sorrows heal.
A FRIEND.
