interest worth the having. 1t is de-
scribed as the same old monarch
mime of the Arkansas Zinc Field, tar
up the side of a mountain, but the
bowels of the earth torn up since the
last visit, only to find the ore nearer
the surface wherever the eye is
turned.
N This is the situation at the present
time, and it is perhaps the fact the
description reflects, which has led
Outside authorities, of high and low
degree, to assume the Morning Star
people are afraid to go down, when
it is simply question Inconvenience
and of economy in mining not to do
so, For it must be taken for grant
ed that, while visitors are permitted
access to the property and to carry
off specimens without restraint, the
mine is not being worked to please
them whether they are quid nunes or
not. Everything done is in the in
terest and according to the ideas of
the owners. And il the liars and
fools, who are permitted to visit the
premises by grace of the owners,
don't go slower hereafter those who
wish to see the famous property,
will have to produce a sworn certi6-
cate, showing that they are regard
ed neither as liars or fools at their
home, to pass the guard line,
The visit to the Mcintosh mine, is
described asthe greatest surprise, as
a development, met with in any sim
gle years history of the Arkansas
Zine Field.
1t is not merely such a scene of ac-
tivity as gives earnest that ore in
quantity is present, upin the noun
tain mark you, but it is eombina-
ton of a mine in actual operation,
with dumps full of ore, and of vii
lage built up around the plant, such
as is looked for where ores in sight
warrant the investment of capital.
The mill. the ponderous frame of
which awaits the machinery now en-
route, is on the mine side of the
gulch, and is to have a cable feed
from the mine, the difference in the
elevation of the mill site and the mine
being $50 feet. The amount of ore
on the dump, and the mine in active
operation, is 1000 to 2,200 tons
which will safely mill 400 tons mar
ketable mineral. The ore is in sui
phide or jack form, with only the
minimum of carbonate ore coming
in at any part of the work. The
most work and the best work, ac-
cording to the result and the time
occupied, has been put in on the
property of all mines known in the
Arkansas Zinc Field. And. taken
altogether, the Joplin man, or any
other man, would be liar who, at
ter going through the mine and over
the property, didn't cheerfully admit
that it pairs, in its working and in
the character and run of its ore, with
the best of the Missouri-Kansas Zinc
mines, notwithstanding the McIn-
tosh, at the present working point,
is IT'S feet in the air, so to speak.
The interest is one that belongs to
the Mcintosh Mining Company of
Boston, Mass, and is Incorporated
under the laws of that state. Their
capital stock is ST 100000.
OF the other squelcher of adverse
critics of the Arkansas field, the Red
Cloud, it is described that, if posi-
BILE, it is fast becoming a still harder
proposition for Joplin authorities to
ego up against" than they are likely
to strike, the world over, outside of
theories assumed OF the Missouri
Kansas zinc field.
1t is now in the hands of Boston
parties, who are negotiating for its
possession, and their mining cngi-
neer is throwing down with a few
shots at time, more bright, live
jack, Ton the face of the mountain
$50 feet above Buffalo river) than
hundred shots a day for a week at a
time, would show up in the best
shaft of the Joplin field. And in the
course of the prospecting pow under
way, not only have they a face OF
ore Is feet thick for a length of $50
feet, land still keeping in sight while
they test its staying qualities but
the engineer, a Mr.. Richards enthusi-
astically shows good ore and plenty
oft, below the big face, to the foot
of the mountain.
The Red Cloud is a property of the
Arkansas field which, in addition to
the Maumec mine of Searcy county,
carries an available water power,
estimated at 5000 horse power, or
sufficient in energy to supply motive
power to every mine and smelter it
is possible to work in the Morning
Star and Buffalo City mining coun-
try oiMarion county. Audit is only
reasonable proposition if it is
shortly to follow that the Red Cloud
and Maumee are going to take care
of mining and smelter investments
the Buffalo basin ore fields of Marion
and Searcy counties invite at the
very threshold of their development.
In the case OF the White Eagle and
Silver Hollow, both properties hold
their places with the Others by virtue
of the ore they show up.
1t is stated that no ore was in
reach both at the Silver Hollow and
