The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1900-03-03

which, exclusive of debris, they have
taken 80 tons of disseminated ore,
not to mention several tons carried
off by prospectors since work began
ON the property.
The point where opened is an ideal
one, 1t is STATED a half mile from
the head OF Mill creek gulch, or say
a halt mile below the head of a can
yon the beginning of which is at the
Marble City falls, where the waters
OF Mill creek make descent of SO
feet from its original level, one fall
alone being 40 feet in height. And
indeed which features of a plentiful
water supply, and available water
powers is also a characteristic adj
vantage of the system.
w Sanders, a miner formerly of
the Joplin field, is in charge of opera
tions ordered by the ~Bridgemen' S
Club. The royalty is ten per cent.
They are under covenant to expend
$3.50 per month in Improvements;
and for that reason are working
systematically, with the result that,
for the amount of 5000 expended to
date, better showing is made
than has been possible over the
zinc belt for the same money. For it
follows, together with the ore. on
the dump that they have faced the
property for big work, have divert
ed the channel of the stream away
from the face of the mine, and have
everything in readiness for concen-
trating plant, whenever the Eureka
Springs railway is far enough under
Roadway to make the transporta-
ton Of machinery less difficult than
at the present time.
The associated lessees in this case,
are, all of them, railroaders in the
employ of the M. K. & T., B. & B.
Department. The President of the
Bridgemen's Club is A. u. AUegasr,

The Canton is owned by the Can
ton Mining Company, which is com
posed of c. A. Brothers one fifth
owner and field manager, J. B.
Brothers, E. c. Brothers, ]. ]. Whit
taker and A. M. McCarty, all of
Canton Ohio.
The property is 315 acres in extent,
and is situated in section 5, 6, and
Z, town 16, range 20. This is ex-
elusive of 1913 acres of additional
mineral land controlled by them,
which includes a property known as
the Clifton, 219 acres in extent sit
uated between Mill creek and Harp
Greek canyons, or say, situated
a-straddle of the vertical body of
ore upon which rests the distinction
made for the locality of being the
most instructive intere sting and
original mineral locality of the zinc
belt.
That which is plainest to the OBJ
server, in the case of the Canton,
is the condition of interesting or
accumulated verticles, before which
both experts and laymen find their
feet slipping from under them, when
coming upon the scene, by the bank
of little mountain stream. For
it is sandstones Of the country und-
er, before, behind and to the right
and left of them; and it is no wonder
their foothold in zinc geology gives
way. And they all give into the
anomaly in mineral formations
simply because the conditions, are
original ones, or conditions which
have not yet been discovered oyer
the zinc world, of an apparent
body OF ore, which in thecase ofzinc,
as in gold silver and copper, is suf-
fcient to sustain the idea of moth
er lode or great vein, from which
horizontal lodes or Blanket veins
draw their supply of ores.
In the Mill Greek Country the Can
ton is, OF course, the Mecca ofpros-
pectors; and according to its bright
ore, light colored resin jack, and
the presence of mineral in quantity,
it is quite natural to find that it
easily takes rank as one of the star
properties of the Arkansas field.
This itself bears witness for their
