SPECIMENS or SILVER ORE.
A Gentleman from Arkansas Tells q
n Mining Cnmp.


IA Mining Camp.
Mr.. w. f. Crawford of Silver, Ark, Ia
In the city and has with him specimens
OF silver aud lead ore taken from his
mining claims at Silver. or the new min
ing camp MIR. Crawford said: II dlscov-
cred silver four years ago at the place
now named silver, and since that time
the country for several miles around has
bees staked of in claims 600xl500 feet.
The land is the property Of the Federal
government and the claims are filed I'M
der the Federal mining laws. The silver
assays from 100 TO 1000 ounces per ton,
the best ore being very rich but, owing
to a lack OF railroad facilities, the claims
have not yet been developed. Silver is in
Montgomery country, thirty-two miles
west OF Hot Springs, in wild, noun
famous country. A railroad is now pro-
iected from Little Rock TO Hot Springs,
and 1t is intended TO extend this road to
Mena, in which case the road viii pass
through the mining district. Since there
is a probability OF a railroad for Silver
there has been considerable excitement
10 the camp. Several good sales have
been made, one undeveloped claim bring
ing $500.
II have prospected in the silver regions
Of Colorado, and nowhere have found
such excellent conditions for mining as
at Silver Timber and water are both
plentlful---two things that are very neces
sary TO successful mining. The richest
ore is found at depth OF 800 feet, but
that nearer the surface is also we'll worth
handling

Scott was in no condition to make a
