essary in the case of this state
to argue geologically for the
presence of zinc in commercial
quantity, it follows neverthe-
less, that here and there a spe-
cialist is met who is not only
sincere in his objection to the
Arkansas zinc system, but who
is at the same time, disposed
to give the country the benefit
of a doubt, until better satisti-
ed with his own reasoning up
on the subject.
To be equally sincere with
this class of DIRECTORS it is nee
essary to be frank, considering
the fact, that, as rule, such
specialists have visited the Ar
kansas system only for a short
time. And, therefore, this
question: Is it not after all, an
admission which carries with it
NEE argument Of the reality
Of the thing than disproval of
it, when it is insisted by them,
that, if anything, it is a
"freak" formation? For, eff
anything is it not a fact,
that, in general, the mind of
man still holds at arms length
the hundred years existence of
geology, as a science, simply
because it has been unable to
account for any of the worlds
mineral formations excepting
in the sense of a "freak?"
AS applied, for the purposes
of illustration, to the presence
of zinc in Arkansas, it is the
old story of the lawyer arguing
with his client behind the pris-
on baIs, that the law cannot
deprive him of his liberty. The
principle and the precedents of
geology, as a science, may or
may not favor the presence of
zinc in the state in commercial
quantity but it is here all the
same. And what are the spe-
cialists going to do about it, if
they are not to accept the fact,
that the ore is where Arkansas
practical miners find it?
But, to do neither the state
nor the Arkansas zinc field an
injustice, while other things
and the authorities are cared
for, is it a fact, that the princi-
Piles and precedents of geology
do not apply to the Arkansas
system? Or, is it a fact, eX-
cepting no one from the impli-
cation, that, when the story OF
any particular instance is look
ed into carefully, adverse opin-
ions of the local formation are
accounted for in superficial eX-
animation such authorities hac
made of the country? And, il
any conscientiousness and in
dustry had been lacking in
such cases, with nothing o.
their own at stake, would il
not have been quite easy to ap.
ply to the formation any ole
theory conveniently at hand

something which is out of the

ry of the water origin of zinc,
the fact stands in this case, that
it is an occurrence OF zinc in
tissure form, and the vertical
ore-carrying vein continued
ten miles across the country
where found.
This means, that, added to
the Marble City and Gibson
mines described in the preced-
ing letter, where the occur
ence is in the form of body
and blanket ore, and that, adj
ded to the Bennett mine, sec.
ton 20, town II north, range
3 west, where the ore occurs
in cavities { 40 to so car loads
having been taken out in loose
ground without striking blan-
ket or other form of occur
enee) we have at a glance all
positions in which mineral oC-
ours. And, if this is true, is
there not reason for presuming
that the Arkansas zinc system
had not been studied intelli-
gently by specialists, not to
have apprehended the fact,
that there is more to the par
ticular formation of the state
than is set down in the philos-
ophy of those who had worked
out the theory of other zinc
formations.
But this is not all. This
county has not been explored
in all its mineral localities, nor
has it followed that sufficient
leisure has offered itself to pro-
ject the scale and plan of the
Arkansas zinc system as eX-
plotted up the present time.
Yet it follows, more than ever,
that the wider the study of the
territory at hand, the more sat-
isfactorily will this proposition
come home to the observer:
The Arkansas zinc country
differs from all other mineral
systems, because nature has
done more mining for Arkan-
Sas than man has done for
himself in all other zinc fields
of the world. Hence it hap
pens, that, not recognizing
this fact, experts and laymen
are at a loss to account for the
elevation of the ore, when to
their mind, it should occur
hundreds of feet underground.
And, in consequence, if all
this is true, rather than rush
off to ones book shelf for an
authority upon zinc discovered
under other conditions than
known at that time, the safer
plan is to await the conclusion
of the matter by means of con-
tinued explorations and devel-
opment. That is, if there is
not to be a waste of ones
time, listening to those who
