But it is zinc territory neverthe-
less, and such an outcropping, in the
thickness of the characteristic Cher
okee limestone and in the contact of
the sub-carboniferous and silurian
formations, as places the locality,
theoretically, in the ranks of the best

As respects particulars we have il
in the following data collected upon
the subject, independent of the Eure-
ka railway authorities. The num-
Der of properties already in shape to

railroads, is something over three
hundred, of which it can be safely
held that the road will control the

cal authorities are consulted, it is u
ten to one shot that their opinion,
based upon no foundation whatever;
will be against the presence of ore.
Their soreness after the gold fever

in the canons of text books the con-

this reason, if the prospector knows
his business and wishes to get in on

coming here, is to keep his own coun-

had been made to connect with it
But due to whatever reason, wheth.
er stress in the money market when
otherwise ready for such an under,
taking, or due to other causes, moth
ing was done to this end. And
it was perhaps in consequence of
such failure; added to changes
in the management, that, by
and by, it became custom with the
officials of certain systems, to speak
of North Arkansas as being no good
as mineral country.
Not so however with the grub
stalker, " so-called, and citizens of the
state, to whom, alone, Arkansas
owes all discoveries and develop
ments made in her zinc field upto
date. The local geology might not
have fitted the theory of zinc forma-
tions, or it might have been that the
cost of railroad construction into
the Arkansas mountains was too
great to think of such a connection.
But neither of the two causes altered
for them the fact that zinc ores were
present in quantity; and hoping
against hope they toiled and moiled
ceaselessly for the recognition of their
country with this result: Their per-
severance and courage addru squurr
mile by square mile to the area of
zinc bearing territory until, by vir-
tue of its extent and the character of
mineral brought to light, one and
another traveller and writer carried
their cause before the tribune of safe
and conservative business men, who
Investigated the country for them
selves only to become its friend and
to bespeak its merits by actual in
vestments, the increased value of
which, over the first cost, during the
present year, does not fall far short
of 5000, 900.
And, therefore, it is out of these
conditions that the demand for rail-
road connections has finally made
itself heard. 1t has been perhaps f.
nally needed because it was not de-
pended upon any proposition of
the local inhabitant, but upon
that OF outsiders who, them
selves, know good thing when they
see it. But whatever the reason of
it, the new has rung out the old or
der of things, and the end of the long
struggle is such an assurance of bus
mess as will of necessity bring to the
state, in the next two years, the lar
gest total investment of railroad,
mining and commercial capital
known to the best ten years history
of any mineral country of the Union
outside of the Rocky mountain states
and territories.

Having already impl

not only is there an exan
hand, of unlocked for business OPP
portunities to the country, but it is
such an example as will instruct the
local inhabitant as well as stranger.
For it happens, upon the score ofthe
local inhabitant, that while this re-
port carries on its face evidences of
some one who has his subject well in
hand, the place in it OF the author is
not that of boomer, but of an au-
thority who is to instruct his home
people, as well as outsiders, in re-,
sources the presence and value of
which is perhaps not appreciated by
them.
The local example, in fact. carries
with it story which seems very
much like foretaste ofrewards that
await the enterprise and business
sagacity of those who have promo
ted and backed the St. Louis-Arkan-
sas railway, or the extension of the
Eureka Springs railway to the zinc
territory of Boone, Marion, Searcy
and Newton counties. Having adj
ventured their enterprise, and under
standing to the fullest the difficulty
of keeping in line all hackers of those
who build into new territory, a vol
untary examination was made of
the present locality Of theroad. And
the result is the discovery of an ore
bearing Cherokee limestone along
their track from White river into the
city, and along the bank and bottom
of every stream and guIch within ten
miles of the depot; with every rea-
sonable prospect Of the same occur
renee being everywhere in sight over
Carroll county wherever the overly
ing sub-carboniferous formation OF
its territory has given way to the
characteristic silurian age of Boone,
Marion, Searcy and Newton coun-
ties.
The geology is not only, theoreti-
cally, the same as that Of the zinc belt
of the state in general, but the char
acteiistic ore bearing rock is present,
to the confusion of authorities act
ing for the state who failed to make
known the mineral formation Of the
locality. And, Of a truth, to take a
present view of the matter, it is
plain that the absence of allinforma-
ton upon the subject, or the failure
to recognize the mineral formation
everywhere in sight, explains to some
extent the reason why the Eureka
Springs locality and this county, are
not at this time known as regions Of
the actual zinc held Of the state,
