In the case of the examination

took part in the proceeding This
was done in good faith to all parties

OF employing only outside ex-
pcrts who, however they had OBJ
strusely reasoned out zinc fOrma
tions in general, could not f1nd the
ore on property approved by them,
though there is not the least doubt
of everything having been done in
good faith.
And, IN turn, other cases are called
to mind, in which ruling properties
in the present day history of the Ar
kansas field, had failed to sell at
nominal figures, because pronounced
against by outside authorities,
which shortly afterwards command

been avoided, had it only occurred

for the purpose of buying properties

was to this effect: The buyer should
first subject such properties to a
business scrutiny, or to such
common sense judgment as con-
dltIons of mining operations and
mining investments call for; and if
satisfied to call in a double team of
examiners, composed of an outside

such cases. This is shown in the

Crucial tests" are to be put to the
Arkansas zinc field, viz: That of ex-
pert examinations of property for
mining investors who expect to pay
for what they get And this period
having set in, nothing should be left
undone by our prospectors and mine
owners that will facilitate the ends
of such accredited authorities. For
whatever else may not De true OF the
zinc belt of the state, industry on the
part of experts and little patience
on the part of local mine owners and
miners, will settle the question OF
ore in quantity, in short order.
1t is, at all events. a forgone con-
clusion, if examined carefully and the
locality one of character, that moth
ing stands in the way of experts
finding in North Arkansas safer
guides to an estimation of mineral
values, than is supplied, the world
over, bv other zinc countries. For
while there is much to learn in the
Arkansas field, that is not set
down in books, there is no room for
guess work, If an investigation of
properties, is to bear the fruits meet

authorities, called to the scene of
mining operations in North Ar

they do not show a willingness to
give the country the benefit of the
doubt, when they are themselves,
at sea upon the subject of its ore
formations. An exemplifcation of
this IS had in the case of an expert
lately commissioned to examine the
Morning Star mine. The gentleman
is personally interested in the Joplin
field, and in the course of the past
year plumed himself upon having
knocked" the Arkansas county.
He was met in person, and the duty
OF the TINES, as mineral authority
in the premises, particularized as
as delicately as possible.
In the particular case cited, the
gentleman commissioned to make
examinations of the property pro-
ceeded no further with the undertak-
ing than to look at the face of the
mine, after which he sat himself up
on rock pile, and piled the manager,
Col. Geo. w. Chase, with questions
bearing upon unimportant details;
and this done, the examination was
over, upon which depended bust
ness transactions involving $780,
600 to $250,000. 1t was in view of
these facts, that the duty of the
TINES in such cases, was made
known; and in consequence it was
shortly afterwards announced, that
the gentleman had lost, his notes on
the property before reaching the
railroad

using X rays on their motives and
purpose, it is better for the Ar

There is, however,, another class of
authorities against whom the Ar

They are known at sight. They
come into the country with their
nose in the air: and though accreditt-
ed by responsible hackers, the end is
seen in the beginning Provided
they are not roped in by mineral
