Upon the merits OF the bill. Mr.. Brom-

three months ago recommended free ,rade

THE EUREKA EXTENSION AN AS
SURED FACT.
Backed by Some Of the Wealthlest
Capitalists Of 81. Louis. "

St. Louis Globe Democrat
The st. Louis & Arkansas North
efn railroad, sometimes called the
Eureka Springs extension, is. no lon
ger project, but an assured fact
1t is backed by some of the wealth
lest capitalists of St Louis, among
whom are r. C.. Kerens, DR.. Taussig,
E. d. kenna, and Powell Clayton
OF Arkansas, L. S, minister to Mexi-
co, is also interested.
The new railroad is to run from
Eureka Springs, Ark, east by way
of Harrison and Dodd City to Yell
vile, Ark. The territory includes
the richest portion of the Northern
Arkansas mineral fields, embracing
the counties OF Boone, Marion, New
ton and Searcy.
Work on the tunnel at Eureka
Springs has already begun, and
workmen's tents are pitched all the
way along the route of the proposed
line for thirty miles. The road as a
whole will be 1873 miles long.
There is much iron deposited in.
this North Arkansas country, but
the fact that there have been no
railroads has heretofore retarded its
development, As for zinc, some
veins have been foundin Boone coun-
ty that for richness will compare
most favorably with the highest
priced ores of Joplin,
The work for the first fifty miles of
this road, the tunnels, grading and
masonry, will be ready for use by
October next, 1t is expected that
trains will be running to Harrison
from Eureka Springs by 1901.

MINING NEWS.

P.J. Russell has found a good body

Charles Brown, manager of the
Bald Knob Mining & Smelling Co.,
operating in north Boone, dropped
in Tuesday to tell us that they are
being encouraged by some very fine
lead strikes at his diggings this week.

called on us yesterday, says that the
Sugar Orchard Mining Co., which
leased his Gloria mine recently
have been working large force of
hands and as result have in sight
tie largest showing of carbonate

section
The Mineral Department OF the
TIMES is not to be held responsible
for errors that appear in the last
two field reports. In the report
from Cook-Den Hollow, this county,
the substitution of the word lead for
level made it appear that lead,
carbonate and oxide forms of zinc"
are evolved from the sulphide ore Of
zine. Similar mistakes run through
both reports and are accounted for
in the fact of new men at the cases
who are unfamiliar with the subject
matter, of mineral and mineral form
ations.
The two large boilers for the crush
ing plant of the Denison Mining
Co, being erected four miles east of
Harrison, arrived Monday, each
boiler being mounted on an extra
large log wagon constructed for the
purpose and drawn by eight horses.
The foundations for the boilers were
'aafrrr air al { y completed and they were un-
loaded to the position which they
will occupy permanently. realms
have already returned to Eureka for
the crusher plant, which includes
hosting machinery and a saw rig
and no time is to be lost in placing
all in operation. This companyfrst
satisfied itselfthat it had zinc in pay
ing quantities, so there is nothing
problematical about its operations

Davis Creek, or Miller Survey.

AS an incident in the transfer OF
the TINES expedition from Marble
City to the Cave Creek country, IN
struetions were given to carefully
study the Typographical and other
features Of the Davis Greek or Miller
survey over the divide separating
the basins of Crooked Creek and
Buffalo river.
The matter was taken up by the
TIMES for the purpose of responding,
from the inside, to the requests Of
railroad promoters for particulars
of practicable routes, tonnage IN
kind, and amount of mineral terrific
~ in line with possible north and
south roads calling for Harrison.
And as far as permitted by other du-
ties of the expedition, this was done
in the case of the Davis Greek route
from this place to Buffalo river. For
while, in the outset, the paper was
most eheerfully disposed to aid rail
way promoters, its present field
work pertains altogether to mines
and to mineral properties in this
part of the state,
The report, as submitted, on the
Davis Creek route, does the highest
credit to the Nettletons' engineer,
Capt. Miller, and to the Bouslog
people, who afterwards adopted it
as the route of the Sprindeld & Lit
tie Rock, projected by them in 1897.
For it is found, after carefully trac-
ing the route, quarter of a mile by
quarter OF a mile, that its cost would
not exceed, from Harrison to Buffalo
river, SIT 1000 to the mile, allowing
for all contingencies of grade to
which an engine might be limited,
for extra bridging and for sandhills
that play, to some extent, part
along the route from Yardell to the
mouth of Davis creek.
AS to the extent of mineral terrific
ry along the route south of here, it
is reported that beginning one mile
south of Yardell, or SIX miles north
Of Buffalo river and continued to the
mouth of Riehland creek, the condi-
tious are those of a connected miner
al formation on both sides of the
survey, with the great sub-carbonif-
erous and silurian systems Of the
Cave Greek basin thrown in as so
much addition to the territory des
eribed, the business of which would
be picked up between the mouths Of
Davis and Riehland creeks.
The mineral territory is exclusive
OF the marble found south from Val
ley Springs to Yardell, where lie the
grain and live stock farms, whose
roadway boundaries consist of mar
BILE fences, the material for which Is
collected from the bed Of Davis creek
1t is also exclusive of the timber of
the Buffalo basin and its ranges, not
eddy the hickory and Whiteoak of the
Cave Greek and Richland Greek
country, and Of the great hardwood
mountain forests within easy reach
of Raspberry Knob, where the pass
age OF the Boston Mountain, or the
great dividing range between North
ern and Central Arkansas is laid
down in the Miller survey.
And in consequence, taken collect
lively, (other elements of resources
and of tributary territory being nee
essarily left OUT it will be found that
The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1900-03-31

the business of the Davis Creek and
Riehland Creek route, as depended
upon local territory, is greater by
one hundred per cent, and the cost
OF construction 20 per cent less than
is otherwise possible in passing over
the divide between Crooked creek
and Buffalo river, and the passage
of the Boston Mountain made at the
point Of cheapest and most practical
bic construction possible along the
entire range from the Indian Terri
tory to White river.
