tern Grove with comfortable farm
houses surrounded by we'll kept
farms; and ON every one OF them
more or less mineral is found. At
Western Grove we found a small VII
lage, but with such an air OF bust
ness about it that we were not sur
prised to learn that more money
was made here by the merchants
who hauled their goods seventY-hye
miles and more than in many OF our
up-to-date towns; and their goods
are no higher than the average mef-
chants, either. In fact, one OF our
party bought an article cheaper than
than it was ever sold in the city. We
stopped at the Jones Hotel, a clean
and inviting country home where
the country receives the best oftreat-
ment from these kind hearted people,
Mt. Hersey is postoflice with n
few attachments, such as a store,
mill, cotton gin, school, real estate
office and hotel. 1t is situated in the
midst of mineral and fine timber
land, and promises to become quite
a town if the railroad runs near.
Some OF the finest prospects for zinc
and lead are around Mt. Hersey and
as yet the land is held at reasonable
prices. The Big Hurricane mine, one
of the best propositions in Newton,
sold recently to the Congdon Min
ing Company Tor $4,000. \ They
have several tons of ore. on the
dump, The Company will begin ae-
tive work on the mine immediately.
putting in all modern appliances for
getting out the big deposits of zinc.
Down on Cave Creek we spent the
night at mother Stephens who
treated us to the best she had. After
we had eaten all the fried chicken we
could, we sat around the big fire
place and watched the blaze of the
pine logs while Mrs. Stephens told
us of her thirty years in Arkansas.
Her stories would I'LL book. Some
day you may hear of them.
The bill Scott" mine is as hne a
carbonate, jack and lead propositioE
as anybody need to own. 1t PROV

The prospecting on this propertl
done under the management of NJ
Kiter, who impressed us; very much
with his common sense ideas i'll re-
gard to where and how to hnd ore
and the most economical methods OF
mining. The little money he has ex-
pended on his work for the big show
ing he has fully demonstrates the
| fact that there is money in getting
| hold of the right man to do your
prospecting or Development work.
There is 10 doubt about the rich
ness of Newton county and that
there is both surface aud deep ore
SO says Professor Fellner, who eq-
tertained us one dewy morning at
his camp where we made our ap-
pearance ere the sun shone above the
hill and before the Professor had suf-
6cient time to finish his egg and
toast. These mines or prospects join
the BILL Scott" and are owned by
the Congdon Company. Professor
Fellner has charge of the company 5
interests. He has built comfortable
camp houses and has so arranged
his camp as to make it a sight worth
seeing to the visitor. He has a
stone Spring house as they still
call them in the country. The hons'
is not over a spring made by nature
but the water is carried from {
spring several hundred yards bacl
; over the bill by means of hume ant
trickles down into the stone bash
, prepared for it, and on down tn
r hill where it is used to irrigate til
camp garden. In this ideal sprlnl

P has learned to combine his scienc
