A SHELTER FOR MENA.
Engineer Paul interesting Others in
 His Idea.

Engineer John Paul and Fireman J. J. Sullivan are at work this week ln- teresting our business men in a scheme to put in smelting plant here in town to assist in the development of the mineral prospects in this county. They propose to put in twenty or twenty-five ton crusher with good en- glne and boilers and then build a smelting furnace suitable to handle ore in large or small quantities. and in addition to making regular runs from their own prospect, they will ar range to make test runs for anyone wishing same.
 By way of explanation Mr. Paul states that this machinery will all be put in with view to using it for a foundery and machine shop in case the minerals should fail to turn out in paying quantities.
 This is wise thing to do and our business men are subscribing stock literally to assist Messrs. Paul and Sullivan in the,r undertaking. It will not only assist in showing what exists in the hills of Folk county and de. yeloping it. but, in case of failure in this line il could be easily converted into another channel of industry which will undoubtedly pay good per cent.

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.
Vast Amount of Work and "Oodies" of Money to Be Spent on the
 Pittsburg & Gulf.

Since Messrs Fordyce and Withers have assumed control of the pittsburg G Gulf railway as receivers, they have made a carful inspection of the road bed. stations and equipments and have outlined and arranged for extensive improvements all along the line, with a view of placing the entire system in the best possible condition for business.
 The machine shops at Shreveport and at Plttsburg are to be enlarged and S35, GOO worth of new machinery has teen ordered to be put in them, and the force will be increased ac- cordingly. Seventy miles of new seventy-five pound steel rails has already been bought, and work is to commence at once re-laying the track from Neosho, south, to make the track strong enough to safely carry the heavy freight trains over the hills between Neosho and this place. Con- tracts have been let for the delivery of 75, 900 ties each month, and as fast as delivered they are to be put in place.
 In additian to these important im- provements numerous work trains will be put on with steam shovels, ditchlng tools. with large gangs of men to put the right-o ofway in perfect order, and ballast the track along the entire line, and not less than ten men will be put upon each section to keep the track in good condition.
 Although not defnately arranged it is understood that a second story is to be added to the passenger depot to be used for the division offices here, and some changes in the yards may be made with view of making them more convenient for the handling of trains. This will all mean much for Mena and the section of country through which the road passes.
