been discovered in many places
within three and four miles of Har-
rison in the last week, Yellville and
Dodd City have something new, in
the way of discoveries every few
days, the. people are showing wisdom
by piling up their ore dumps, ready
for the railroads when they reach
them. They are no longer in doubt
as to transportation. These rail-
road people are rather peculiar in
some ways. Strange to say, they
are not in the habit of talking over
their movements with every Tom,
Dick and Harry, aud seem to delight
in keeping people dancing in hot
water until the last minute. 1t has
long been understood that some day
in the near future a thorough line
would be built into this country re-
CARELESS of mineral but if the build
ers find an abundance of ore and line
timber along their line so much the
better, They're going after it,
don't you fret. Anyway there is
nothing like patience and stick-to-il-
iveuess when you are bncking up
against these railroad capitalists.
They generally know a little better
than the average farmer what they
intend to do and they are too shrewd
to miss snap like the Arkansas
fields. Get your dumps ready, pile
them up high, don't be AFRAID to put
your money in for few months, the
roads are coming and sooner or
later your patience will be rewarded
Just for the asking one can get
printed matter telling all about the
counties of Boone, Marion, Newton
and Searcy and their many, many
mines and prospects. The Harrison
and Yellville papers are perfectly re
liable and seek to tell only the trut
state OF things, In fact they are moi
at all blnated with egotism as many
papers are i'll other mineral states
Newton and Searey counties are moi
behind in ore deposits. 1t is reall,
hard to tell which will prove thu
richest county. Aside from all TIL
zinc and lead, it is safe to say Their
are other discoveries to be made tina
will astonish many. The mine own
fers Knowing that outsiders ar
clamoring for deep ore, are doing
drill work over the counties in tn,

| Yes, in spite of the fact that Their
are county papers and pamphlet
telling the story of Arkansas resour
ces, we are in daily receipt of aues
tions such as these. Is there an
real stuff down there? How lon
will it last! Can we make money b
putting money in that country
Can we get the ore out OF the cour
try after we dig it out ofthe ground
When are the railroads coming? d
; you think there is any truth in the
coming at all? Where is the bes
town going to be and do you thin
it will pay to invest in city property
is there any farming land dow
