MINING NEWS.

T. p. Cantwell, has made the big
gest strike of Jack and carbonate
known in the history of the Low
FGap district, this county. The ore
was struck in the course of develop
ment work on the Van Vorhis prop
ertv section Z, 20, 10.
The special mineral exhibit in the
office of the North Arkansas Invest
rhent Company, Charles A. Taylor,
| business manager, is one OF the hand
isOmest in the state. Some idea OF
its excellence is suggested by selec-
btion made from the collection which
is now en- route to Germany.
! kOwners of the Gibson mine, Mar
BILE City district Newton county, are
having prospect work done on their
property. 1t undertaken, not for
the purpose of showing ore, which
| they have in sight in a number OF
places, but simply for the Purpos of
| keeping up with the procession in
that part of the mineral field.
I Two steamers, loaded with con-
struct1on material for the Winner
road and with machinery for the
Mcintosh Mining Company, were
due to arrive at Buffalo City on
Wednesday night. 1t is expected
that the boating stage of White riv-
er will hold out for several weeks-,,
which will enable the Winner people
to land enough rails and equipment
to operate the first ten miles of the
road
The new find of the Canton people,
Mill creek gulch Newton county,
rivals the original discovery made
on the opposite side of the stream
The general manager c. A. Brothers,
who went east this week, announc-
ed before his departure, that his
company will put in standard
mill or will place an order for it up
on his return, conditioned upon de-
velOpments of the Eureka Springs
railway extension.
The addition to the TIMES mineral
exhibit, both specimens from old and
new mines, foots up 1000 pounds,
with an additional 500 pounds
hung up temporarily at Western
Grove. The whole collection to date
will weigh nine to ten thousand
pounds, of which five thousand
pounds, enter into the stacks dis
played in the main exhibit, and the
remainder stored away until shelf
room can be made for the Overplus
mineral. 1t is expected that further
collections will amount to five
thousand pounds, after which the
only additions will be that of ores
from new mines.
The new ores from freshly opened
mines, and the fresh ores from old
mines, latelv added to the exhibit in
the TIMES office are as follows: Nc
Intosh, Red Cloud, Rock Greek,
Morning Star, Davy Crockett, Sill
yer Hollow, Prince Frederick, White
Eagle, Lion-Hill. Roaring Hollow,
Nj aume~, Cane Sfrfne-7-4 -44s,---t..--.Ar=
my, Georgetown, Big Elephant, Boat
Greek, Michigan. Excelsior, Pauline,
Miller Claim, Round Mountain, Bill
Scott, Marble City, Canton, Climax.
and CRANKY. And the total weight
of the new collection is explained in
the circumstances that only few col
lections were made that weigh less
than 100 pounds.
Handsome specimens of ore collect
ed at the Marble Falls mine, Doddl
City.district, Marion county, show
the occurrence to be the same as that
of the Gov. Eagle and Mammoth
mines of the same county. There arr
no means at hand to get at the ele-
vation of the Gov. Eagle and Marble
Falls, that of the Mammoth being
400 feet above White river or some-
thing less than 500 feet above the
Cult, but it would not be unreason-
BILE to believe that the three mines
are Outcrops OF the same ore strata,
Notwithstanding the Mammoth is
distant 20 miles from the other two.
and the Gov. Eagle distant five miles
fr ON the Marble Falls.
