The TIMES Mineral Department
has received from Hon. Harry A.
Lee, Commissioner, a copy of the re-
port of the Colorado State Bureau
of Mines. 1t contains not only lu-
cid statement OF all matters pertain
is a veritable hand book which nei-
ther miner nor investor can afford
to be without if interested in ores of
any kind Mention is made of the
Colorado state report because it
supplies model by which to build
up a report upon the Arkansas zinc
fields. Such a work is called for at
the hands OF the Arkansas State Bu-
reau OF Mines. DIR. Branner's report,
the publication of which Prof. Per-
due, of the Arkansas University is
now experimenting at Little Rock,
will aid much in its preparation
Our legislature should make an ap-
prOpria ton to that end, if Arkansas
is to take place among mineral
states of the Union.

tanned, about which there has been
some difficulty. The company will
soon be prepared to make its own
barrels, L. E. Moon, interest

is striking jack and carbonate on his
claim on Cold Fork creek. This de-
posit was opened up several years
ago and good jack was thrown on
the dump as worthless, as the pros
pectors were hunting silver. Since
the mineral boom came this old
dump was visited by the parties
that sunk the shaft, who at once re-
cognlzed the zinc ore and filed on the !
claim.-Baxter County Citizen
