PLEASANT TRIP IN THE HILLS.
Preparations for Extensive Mining
 Operations Seen.

a party consisting of Mir. W. I. Boy CT, Mir. W. A. Batson, Mir. J. $. Eng land, Mir. Burt Hiltebrand and repre- sentatives from the Star, enjoyed very pleasant trip to the mountains and mines recently, Mir. Hiltebrand taking along camera with which he made several views, and the balance of the party more or less complete supply of the eatables that assist in making such a trip pleasure.
 On the way stop was made at the camp of Messrs. Boyer & Radcliffe, where work is just begun in opening up the Edison mining claim, which it is thought will prove quite rich.
 Here good rest was taken, and after viewing the work being done, Mir. Mack Gee, in charge of the camp filled out the bill os fare by building a fire and making coffee and cooking meat.
 The wants of horses and men being well appeased, all mounted and soon reached the camp of the Arkansas and Texas Mining company. Here we met Mir. T. S. Mahoney, general manager of the company's property; Mr. Daniel Burns, an active member, and Mir. c. H. Gage. under whose directions the cyanide plart for the extraction of the rich oras has baen mt in
 These gentlemen did all in their power to make the party's visit profit able and pleasant in showing us oyer the plant and the mines, which are doubtless the most extensive of any yet put in in Polk county. We were shown samples of metals taken out by small test runs, which we are informed are composed of gold, silver and cop per, and while we were not prepared from our own knowledge to say what the value of these bars of metal is, the work that IS being done and the quiet confidence of the men who are putting time and much money into the plant
  at least, know that the ore is what they claim.
 On the arrival of dynamo. which is expected daily, the cyanide plant will be put at work to full capacity, the first run to be made, we understand, on ore taken from the St. Patrick's claim, which ore is already crushed and ready for chemical and electrical treatment. A run will thea be made from ore taken from the Helen Gould claim, owned by Mir. Burns.
 The result is of very vital importance to Arkansas, as it is unquestionabIy being done in a business-like and thorough manner, and if results are as expected, the time for capitalists to cast slurs on Arkansas will have passed forever

Death of VIM. d. Street.

The Messrs. Wilson, Of the Lafayette
County bank, have just heard this week
of the death of their maternal uncle,
VIM. d. Street, at Ormond, Florida,
where it happened on the 18th Of March.
He was the father Of Miss Ida Street, Of
Des Moines, Iowa. who visited Mrs.
Nath. Cooper and also Capt. 10. Wilson
a couple Of years ago.
Mr. Street was member OF the Cum
5erland Presbyterian church, Of Oska-
loosa, Iowa, which stands on a lot given
by Captain Geo. Wilson when that city
was first laid out Since his residence
in Florida Mr.. Smith had connected
himself with the Southern Methodist
church, and was at a meeting of the
deacons of the church, Of which he was
one. The pastor had been at the meet
ing, and had given his opinion on some
matters before them, and the deacons
were to send him message relating to
it, as soon as they had made their
decision. Mr.. Street started TO deliver
it, but fell in the outer doorway Of the
vestibule and died instantly. One OF
deacons heard noise but thought
nothing Of it, until after long waiting
someone said: brother Street must
have gone over the river" meaning
across the Halifax river. as he lived on
the peninsula east of it and the town is
on the west side. Walking to the front
door, there the other deacon found Mr.
Street lying still, and on taking hold of
him found that he had indeed gone
over the river'-of death. lie was
carried in and laid on a cushion, and his
expression was as calm and peaceful as
If in pleasant sleep.
Mr.. Street was son of Jos. MOntfort
Street, editor Of the second newspaper
in Kentucky, and friend and associate
OF Rev. Finis Ewing in the early days
of the Cumberland church. Wm. B,
Street was one Of the original town
proprietors of Omaha, and had many
interesting recollections of the wal
against Black Hawk. and Of General
Taylor, JEFF. Davis, Miss Taylor, who
married JEFF, Dick Taylor as a boy
Albert Sidney Johnston as youni
officer and others. He would have been
eighty years old next July. His fathel
died in the same sudden way, Of apo
plexy; but it is thought that he died of
disease of the heart.

PERMISSION GRANTED.
Dealers May Make Connections Be-
tween Ranges and Boilers.

"eeh RanSes ana boilers.
Upon the recommendation OF Captain
Beach the District Engineer Commission
er, the Commissioners have decided TO
permit stove dealers to make connections
between ranges and boilers. under certain
conditions This step was indicated at the
recent public hearing the subject. when
it was suggested by those who opposed the
granting of such a privilege that it would
encourage poor workmanship and estab-
fish a precedent for opening up other
branches of the plumbing business to men
who had never passed the required exam-
nation for plumbers licenses.
The stove dealers stated that they do
not desire to invade the plumbers field of
tent to do the work sought to be per
formed by the dealers.
In disposing of the matter, the Commits
soners approved the following recommen-
dations of Captain Beach:
After having considered the points raised
by both sides at the hearing, 1t appears 10
me that the stove dealers might be allowed
to make connections between the range and
boiler, provided that some means TO Sc
cure and prevent them from doing plumb
ing work within the premises be devised:
therefore recommend that permit to make
connections between the range and une
boiler be issued to such stove dealers as
may sign an agreement in this ONCE tnat
they will not do any work connected with
the water supply system and the mouse
drainage system other than the connec-
ton authorized; and that permit be not
issued to stove dealers who do not Sign
such an agreement and, further, tnat any
failure to observe the agreement, as nieo;
will be cause for revoking the PERMISSION.
