MINING NEWS.


1916. which property adioins that
of the Lost Jack situated three miles
east of his town. 1t is the first val
liable find of lead ore made in Ma
rion county south OF Crooked creek.
The discovery, in effect, makes the
Growler both zinc and lead mine.
Another important discovery of
calamine, or a sillcate of zine, has
been made in the Frisco Hollow, this
county. The scene of the discovery
is that of the Gladstone mine. N. Z.
S. W, section 9-19-1S. The new dis
covery shows an outcrop of the ore
for distance OF 300 feet. The Gala
mine is exclusive of both sulphide
and carbonate ores ofzinc discovered
on other parts of the property.
The next two or three weeks will
bring into the light quite a number
of important deals in mineral prop
erty, some of them larger than made
to date in North Arkansas. Our own
mineral dealers share in the move
ment, two firms alone having gwen us
the tipo seven large deals, with 9th
ers to hear from. The deals are in the
nature of quiet movement, and go
to show that a neutrality-suspicious.,
as excitement, leads to conclusions
that are in favor of the country.
The Silver Hill Zinc and Lead Min
ing Co., of Harrison, has filed its ar
ticles of incorporation with the Sec
rotary OF state. The capital stock is
$50, 900, of which $4,000 has been
subscribed. The officers are H.
Loomas, president; E. l., Green, vice
president; A. D. Arbegast, secretary
and treasurer. The property of the
Silver Hill Company consists of 40
acres adjoining the Denison Mine,
four miles east of Harrison, and of
so acres in section "a, -21,- 21, Oma-
ha district this county.
The best news of the week is from
the Madison Placer mine, Ma and
S. w. u of n W. II of 30-19-1S, this
county. Work was renewed on the
property two weeks ago, and at in
tervals word was had that the char
acter of the mine would likely
change from a carbonate to a sui
phide proposition. This was veri-
ned during the present week; and the
latest news from the mine, 1T first
hands, is the information that they
are taking out chunks of free ore,
Gack as large as salt barrels. The
TINES will visit the scene in time to
give full particulars in it's next issue.
The trial run of the mill at the
Denison mine, announced for this
week, will not take place until the
7th inst. On that date the contrac-
tor Mr.. Chapman and Mr.. Abergast
of the Denison company will be pres
ent and the mill set in motion. 1t
was expected by those in charge of
to complete the mill by
Thursday. when the whole force
would remove to the Mcintosh
whose mill only required a few fin
ishing touches. If this was done
that Of the Mcintosh mine, instead
of the Denison, will be the first
standard mill to begin operations in
the Arkansas zinc field.
Prof Tegarden, of Tegarden Bros.
Yellville, reports the discovery of
calamine on property wned by them
near the Climax mine, situated at
the head of Rush creek, Marion
county,. This is the fifth discovery
of silicate ore in North Arkansas
during the past three months, and
in each case it is present in quantity,
The other silicate discoveries are
those of the Cane Spring, Olympia,
Amy and Gladstone mines. These
discoveries go great ways, toward
showing that but little will be
known of the mineral field as a
whole until all parts of it have been
worked by those who make a bust
ness of mining for ore.
The Morning Star mine, to its
most remarkable variety of mineral,
has lately added one of the hand
soonest and richest disseminated ores
found in the zinc field. A little of the
ore had been found at different
times, but it's presence in quantity
has practically determined that
the property carries four beds or
veins of ore, exclusive of the great
body of carbonates for which it is
celebrated. And in tracing out the
new beds it has become certain that
the Morning Star mine supplies
every kind of zinc known to miners
excepting silicate. A large stack
of the disseminated ore is on exhibit
ton at the TIMES office.
1t is made known that the patent
of the Davy Crockett mine has been
issued and is in the hands OF the
II arrison Land office. The arrival
of the patent has been necessary to
the transfer of half interest in the
to Minneapolis capitalists.
1t IS expected to close the deal next
week. The price agreed upon for
the halfinterest is $1,000. The re-
half interest is owned by l.
NJ. Ward of this place, by two of his
nephews, and by E. T, Phelps, of St.
Joe, each of whom own one share.
Instead OF $4,000 for the whole
as reported by the press
in its present shape it is -
take four or FIVE -
