Williams branch. The Zine Basin is
the interest known as the Gentry
homestead, the ownership of which
was lately decided in favor of the
mineral contestants.
The expected visit of the TIMES to
the Madison Placer mine, this week
was prevented by Col. DeMalher's
injuries. His broken ribs are in
plaster for a second time, since the
accident at Maryhattianna, With
the discovery made at the Glad
stone, in that part of the country,
there is now double reason tor
making the trip; and as soon. as
repairs have been made our read
ers shall hear of the Frisco Hollow
in detail.
Kansas parties have struck SINH
lar ore to that of the Panther Greek
mine The property is located on
Clabber creek, Marion county, in
in section 4, II, Is. 1t is known as
the Eads Lease. Two cuts have
been made on the property, from
which 80 to 40 tons of ore have
been taken, up to the present time,
The ore resembles the mass miner
al of the Panther Greek mine. occurs,
of course, in vertical vein, or in
vaulted form. 1t is another illustra-
ton OF asking for what you don't
see, in the way of ore, in the Arkan-
sas zinc field
The neighboring mine to the Mcln-
tosh. White Eagle, Philadelphia and
Zinc Basin, known as the Monte
Cristo, is now showing the so.ealled
White Eagle" ore on the Glabber
creek side of the property. The ore
occurs in boulder form, lin mud
pockets as in the case of its proto-
type. The remarkable tea ture in the
instance of the Monte Cristo discov-
cry is the occurrence of the ore under
like conditions to those of the White
Eagle mine, but at an elevation of
70 feet above the level of the valley.
The consequence of the discovery is,
that it knocks the theory of the .Jop-
linites of our hills not CARRYING wet
ground ores.
River transportation in the zinc
field is not so bad after all. Respon-
sible parties who returned from Buf-
falo City on Thursday night, report
the arrival of 500 bushels of corn by
barge, from a point so miles higher
up White river 1t was consigned to
the tie contractor of the Winner rail
road, who following up the present
experiment will ship his provender
from points higher up on White riv-
er. The chief interest in the matter
is the success of the trip on the pres
ent stage of water and the shoals
above Buffalo City known to river
men as the most formidable along
White river from the mouth to its
head.
The Clendenin Bros, mine eontrac-
tors, have secured the job of further
development work on the Hill Fon-
taihe mineral property. four miles
east of Harrison, known as the
''Rosson diggins.' The Rosson dig
gins is the oldest mineral develop
ment in the Crooked Greek valley.
The first opening on the property
" as made on the brow of the hill
thanking the valley, where it is still
possible to collect good shines on the
dump, after ten years time. The
present work ism the valley 70 of
mile west of the Denison, where
good ore as been struck at a depth
of 80 teet.@ The additional wcrk is
to be done on this shaft.
Mai. Weaver, who is cooperating
with Mr.. Gilbert, in opening the Tar
Kiln mine, notifies us to keep our ear
to the ground il it is desired to give
readers of our mineral columns,
something good to talk about. His
information is to the effect that
enough Roadway has been made to
show by the end OF the week a 16
foot face of ore, 1t is a surface vein
which is likely to continue, in place,
through the hill. This is only. the
beginning of good news that may be
expected from the Tar Kiln. The
owners propose to stay with their
developments, and with a dozen
other points on the property to
come into line. the outlook is that
I "a 'N---sKiln will be big producer
This weeks news from the Glad
stone, Frisco Hollow, this county,
only adds to its Importance. Any
apprehension that it is only shall
low showing OF ore may be effectgal-
ly set at rest. They are uncovenng
good ore, and enough oft, together
with the Amy mine, to make the
Frisco Hollow, one of the richest To-
calities in the field. There is going
to be no let up to present explora-
tions of the property. Industry
along the present line OF discoveries
is called for, as so much justice to
the locality and to the mineral field
as whole, and according as pres
ent efforts have been rewarded with
every shot put, the present work is
to be carried to finish, if it takes
all summer.
