"Why, he called up Chicago, asked girl

Il X X X X X

The surprise afforded, in the
Panther creek mine, of an oc-
currence of zinc ore in a hs-
sure vein, is heightened mate
rally by the fact, that, instead
of one there are seven veins in
fssure form on the property,
divided into two series, one
with five veins, distributed
across a space 1856 feet wide,
and the other series, distant
200 feet, with two veins.
Hence it is an occurrence OF
zinc under conditions that adj
nit of much speculation. But
the mostTeasonable theory Of
careful authorities who have
been on the ground is to the
effect, that the veins run into
a body of ore at a depth of say
100 to $50 feet; beyond which
point it is possible that a sim
gle lead continues, mayhap tc
the Cambrian series. And, in
evidence of such a possibility,
it is pointed out, that a quartz
ore sandstone, three-fourths OF
a mile distant, and on a lower
level, is missing in the Panther
creek formation and the vein
matter of the hssure such as
belong to the lower silurian
age. This means, that the eff
feet is to relate the ore to a
depth 400 feet below the sand
stone mentioned.
The width of the main lead
is from IL inches to 7 feet, and

that out of a total of 10000
acres of public land situated in
the county, unappropriated,
one-third to one-half consists
of mineral territory, and is
therefore subject to location.
Another thing: Beside the
Panther Creek mines, Jasper
is a base of operations from
which to prospect the follow
ing approved mineral localities
of the county, viz: Blue Bluff,
distant four miles; Low Gap,
distant six miles; Flat Wood,
distant four miles; Wells
Creek, distant five miles; Tay-
lor Ridge, distant three miles.

The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1899-05-13

wide at the point of principal
exposure. This is in the case
of the greater series. In the
case of the other series, ore and
vein matter were tapped in
both assures, simply for the
sake of experiment, the eX-
pense account for operations
having been on all hands linz
tied at the time merely to a
showing, and not with refer
ence to a commercial produc-
ton of ore. But all of which
procedure, as anyone of min
ing experience will observe,
was not necessary had the
weathered surface and overly
ing debris been removed suffi-
GENTLY to expose the ore and
vein matter in the floor and
sides Of the gulch on which the
vein is located.
The lead has been traced
for a distance of four miles
northeast, and for a distance
of six miles southwest, from
Panther creek gulch. 1t is al
SO this fact, of a continuation
of the lead for a distance of ten
miles across the country, upon
which is depended a difference
from all other zinc localities.
For whether it is the result of
a most remarkable ''fault"
(the ''elose fitting" horizont-
al strata by which they are in
terrupted and fianked) the eff
feet is the same though other
causes might account for the
assures than that of finding a
source for the ore different
from what is set forth in the
Belgie theory, of a water ORR
gin of zinc.
The occurrence, at the Pan
Their Creek mine, is character
lied by a rich and peculiarly
marked blende on the north side
and by carbonate form of ore
on the south side, of the gulch.
The difference is, in part, ac-
counted for by the fact that
the owners have done their
mining and prospecting where
discoveries on the property
were first made. And again,
it is accounted for, in part, by
greater exposure of the south
side vein of ore, and by the
fact, that the nature of the sur
face covering to the mountain
on that side of the gulch being
such as readily admits of the
assures becoming subsoil
drains.
The amount of ore on the
dumps of the mine is from SO
to 100 tons, which is sufficient
according to the space mined,
to bear out the proposition of
an unusual productive capacity
for the property. In the case
of the blende the depth reach
ed was twenty-five feet, and
in that of the carbonate eighty
feet, with plenty of evidence
in sight for believing, that I'M
exhausted and unexhaustible,
it is likely to continue all the
way to China.
There are, in all, nine OPP
enings on the property, three
shafts, five cuts and one "stop-
ing The property is 400
acres in extent, and the dis
lance is two miles from little
Buffalo valley, four miles from
Jasper, and twenty-four miles
{ from Harrison.
Prospectors who desire tc
see and examine the Panther
{ Greek mine in its character Of
a hssure vein zinc property
and in its relation to the lead
on which it is located, should
by appointment place them
selves in charge of Capt. w,
S. Allen, whose address is Jas
per, Ark. He is half own
er of the property and has
been constantly on the ground
since developments were first
made ten years ago. His is
another case of a man having
The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1899-05-13

nations of the zinc field as a
whole. And to argue nothing
else from the circumstance,
does it not allow the inference
that, if so important an occur
renee had escaped their recol-
lection, (for it can not be i'm
agined that it was omitted by
intention) other things than
the theoretical geology of the
ore is depended upon slender
threads of recollection.
This does not mean, that
the locality has not been visit
ed by them. For it is mat
ter of history in this part of the
state, that, while looking up
the transverse seam to the
horizontal strata of the PAN
ther creek gulch, the greatest
of them all deliberately declar-
ed himself against the presence
of the ore in commercial guam
tity; when, for the purpose of
breaking the force of any SUI
perhcial opinion he might
give, away from the country,
great chunks of sulphide ore
were, on the next day, stop
ed up from the spot where
the gentleman stood while ut
tering his "wise saws and
modern instances And in
other eases, by those who are
more certain of the ground
they take and who have not a
lazy bone in their body, more
favorable conclusions were
reached, but which were with
held for the reason that private
interests, and not public duty,
were the motives of their visit.
But since it is, that all
things come to an end, it has
finally become not at all diff
cult to see, in the case of the
Panther creek property, that
Arkansas possesses a mine
which, in another class or in
another form, duplicates the
distinction already won for it
by the Morning Star property,
of the highest type zinc mine
in the world. And which dis
tinction it will not be pos
sible to overdraw, once suffi-
cient capital is put into its de-
velopment to make 1t worth
while to come after its ores,
even as such development of
the Morning Star mine is seen
to be, in that part of the sys-
tenn, a magnet for all railway
projectors now interested in
North Arkansas. For, ''if
anything this is true of the
Panther creek mine: 1t is one
of the wonders of the zinc
world, and its characteristic
ore and the great tiSSure lead
on which the mine is located,
such an argument, drawn from
facts, as will at a glance dissi-
pate all apprehension of the
ore not being present in COM
mercial quantity.
