Hollow property. 1t is the first
breeeiated form of ore, in flint and
limestone, SO far discovered in the
Crooked creek valley near town.
The type of the ore will be recogniz-
ed when it is said, that rock and
mineral are identical with the Lion
Hill ore, three miles distant from
Buffalo City. Marion county.

that more work and on a larger
scale will be put under Roadway, as
fast as men and appliances can be
secured. 1t is incidentally learned
that the hot weather has also been
responsible for the slow progress
made in the construction OF the St.
Louis & North Arkansas railroad,
especially at the tunnel, at the
Kings river bridge abuttments and
other points where rock work is the
form of labor. Cooler weather may
be, therefore, expected also to emily

The owners Of the Jack Pot, NJ of
16, 10, Is, have decided to prospect
their property with a drill This is
a departure which looks very much
like throwing money to the birds,
Not that any one objects to such pro-
ceedure, this being a free country. All
that drilling could do in such a case
is to prove the presence ofmineral on
the property, which is already
proved in the face of mineral at the
water level, for which the Jack Pot
is distinguished in the Frisco Hollow
country, this county. From all
of the position and for
nations in which the mineral is
found, the owners already have an
ore level of sufficient thickness to
keep them busy for long time to
come And unless they wish to add
shaft ore to that of the present level,
thus increasing the average cost of
producing ore, there is no need of
drilling The Jack Pot owners will
employ outsiders of their own
selections. They also desire to rent
a drill outfit
