The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1900-05-19

new locality strictly in the class Of
the best territory and the best MINES
of the state.
The locality visit to which closed
the weeks exploration was that oil
Spring creek along the main gnieh'
and first as last it may be said that
if adopted as railroad route the
spectacle is to be witnessed in Ar
kansas of zinc mines dumping their
ore on cars or side tracked beside the
main line. For it consists almost
wholly ofmineral properties that only
await the advent of railroads to be-
come ore producers.
This is exclusive, of ramiheations
of the system, whose areas OF etod-
ed surface also expose the mineral
formation of the country. And
therefore since it is to be regarded as
multiplication of oue ~ 1sog mus
be duplicate Of Ksef creek
country, fully in ing with its
geological relation 0the Red Cloud
formation,
But while all this is granted as a
means to understanding the drift of
this report (which is not that of
bolstering one part of the field to
the disadvantage OF another) and
the reader in consequence left to
understand where he is at, moth
ing merely of reflected glory has to
do with distinctions made in the
case of the Rock creek, Kimbell
Hollow and Spring creek mineral
territory collectively. Fort follows,
as before stated that we have in it
the same formation, the same rock,
spar, color and occurrence of ore en-
countered at the Red Cloud and
Silver Hollow, but with this adj
vantage over its prototypes, of its
ore coming in invariably at or near
the water level of its streams. Or,
fin other words, being absolutely the
same formation to which belongs
the Red Cloud and Silver Hollow
country, we have in it the fact and
the argument of the largest body of
zinc, of homogeneous character,
known in the world.
