the highest legal opinion the Treasury Department
could get Illegally classified. The places bear
peculiar relation TO the Collector. The power OF
appointment lies with him. the responsibility is
directly him. and the law gives him the liberty OF
choice Under tho rule as adopted the Department
has made certain that incompetent persons shall
not be appointed by requiring an examination
equivalent to examinations held by the Commits
sion for similar places and conducted by the Com
mission in accordance with it's regulations. That
requirement as to examination applies not only to

the Mint and Assay Offices These latter exeep-
tions II may be remarked were recommended TO

Something About the Great Mining

Something About the Great Mining
Industries of Arkansas.
The development OF the great zinc and
lead mines of northern Arkansas is creating
widespread interest among capitalists and
spectators all over the country. The vast
richness of this part OF the state of Arkan-
sas is something marvellous, to say the least,
and people are focking to that region by
the hundreds. Recently the great periodicals
of the east have devoted columns to the pos
siblities and resources of this part of the
world and other sections Of that part OF the
southwest The richness Of the mines of
Boone and Marion counties in Arkansas Is
something wonderful. This makes it OF es-
pecial interest locally, as a number Of Coun-
Gil Bluffs people are interested in this part
of that section of the state. Council
Bluffs man, who had personally inspected
the mines of Boone and Marion counties and
adjacent territory of Arkansas, says that the
opportunities offered for investment are the
best he ever saw. The country is only just
being developed and with the assurance Of
a railroad being constructed through that
part OF the state within the next few months
all eyes will naturally be turned in that di-
rection. A number OF Council Bluffs men
have formed themselves into a company and
have purchased 5000 acres OF land in that
section, which Is located in the richest part
or the mining country. l1anuS are Selling at
fabulous prices where the mines have been
developed and tracts Of from twenty to forty
acres have sold as high as 100000. Cap
italists are putting in concentrating plants
and large smelter, for the reduction of the
zinc and lead ore is certainty within the
near future. One good feature about the
mines of northern Kansas is that. unlike
that of many other mining sections, the de-
posits lie near the surface. In many in
stances in removing the top crust one Is
able to pick up specimens OF zinc ore that
will assay rs per cent pure zinc. The COM
pany formed in Council Bluffs is named the
Ozark Zinc and Lead Mining company and
Includes a number OF the leading business
men and capitalists of this city. Its officers
are: II. C. Cory. president; ID. W. Bushnell,
vice president; George w. Lipe, chairman
executive committee; Frank T. True, treas
urer; Forrest Smith, secretary. The direc-
tory consists of these officers and the fol-
lowing: C. Budtz, A. s. Hazelton w. C.
Estep, William T. Whorton, all OF Council
Bluffs, and James A. Finn Of Boone county,
Arkansas. Mr.. Finn is one of the prom
inent citizens of that part OF Arkansas, in
which he lives and holds the position OF
treasurer OF his home county.
