the King Solomon. They are ct .
depth of some tiirty-five feet, and re-
port the ore richer as they go down.
Mr.. Lawing, who owns IN interest in
the mines, says they will soon put in. .
steam drill. The mines are already
equipped with new engine house,
engine and pumping machinery, be-
sides hand jigs, etc, and with the Ad-
dition Of tho steam drill will be able to
considerably increase tho output.
w. ii. johnson departed Sunday
morning for Chicago to resume
charge Of the exhibit ct that city.
This exhibit is pronounced tho finest
display Of lead and zinc ores ever
brought together. With the adver-
tising matter distributed the Frisco
Line is outlaying fully $4,000 . month
advertising south-west No. Mr.. Bry-
an Snyder, general passenger agent
is one Of the most, if not tho most
energetic man at the head of any
railway system. It is work for the
country through which the Frisco
runs cannot be realized by those who
are not acquainted with its scope and
the magnificent results achieved. ae
has done more for Taney county peo-
without their knowledge than they
could have done for. themselves
through the expenditure Of many
thousand dollars, and the best Of it
is that the good work 10 steadily go-
ing forward.
Very recently Prof. DeMahler, q
noted geologist aud mineralogist OF
North Arkansas who is also editor Of
the Harrison Times, visited the
'Anna Lee" and the Craven" the
latter belonging to Dr.. Mcintyre.
Prof DeMahler spent several days
investigating these properties and
will shortly publish report Of them
in his paper. fle is highly pleased
with the district known as the Pine
Mountain country aud says it 10 the
coming camp of the southwest. Prof.
DeMahler pronounced the Anna Lee
one Of the finest ore deposits south
Of White river it being equal to the
best of North Arkansas. He claims
that Mccormick now has an ore bear
ing face fully Is feet thick and ex-
posed for . width Of 600 feet. He
considers the ore very rich and told
Mr.. Mccormick that in his judgement
by working back against the ore
body . display of ore can be un.
covered equal to the Morning Star.
Much Of this deposit which Mr.. Nc
Cormick considered valuless rock,
Prof. DeMahler pronounces excellent
carbonate Of zinc. As Prof. DeMab-
ler 10 q known authority, his judg-
mont cannot be questioned. The
Raven he says is Of tho same forma-
tion. 1t shows the same ore and 10
capable OF the same development.
There is no question..bu that DR.. Mo
Intyre has q most valuable pioce Of
property.
The writer of this paragraph visit
ed the Anna Lee mine the fret Of last
week and was surprised to note the
fine showing of mineral. As an old
aud experienced miner was at work
clearing away the earth preparatory
to putting in shots whore they would
break down the front Of the ledge
aud make face Of minerel continu-
ous with the parts Of the mine ale
ready opened. Tho richness of this
mine was very evident when we saw
the miner dig nuggets of lead aud jack
from the clay and even from the black
loam everything the edges Of stratified
rock. Rich carbonates and silicates
Of zinc are found in the rock almost
at the surface, in fact great per cen
Of a six-foot strata is composed Of
these ores and this is considered
good Indication Of the richness Of the
niue. These carbonates ana silicates
being secondary products formed by
the chemical action of tho air and
water on tho original deposits, AFFORD
satisfactory evidence that there is
