The Railroad Situation at Eureka
Special Correspondent.

Times Special Correspondent.
This has been rather a hard week
on those working on the new rail
road, but still work is progressing,
Every train that comes from Selig-
man brings as many cars loaded with
construction material as can be
safely hauled down the grade, This
material is being unloaded at the
switch put in at Livingston Hollow
where the new road begins. To one
not accustomed to seeing such sights
there seems to be enough already on
the ground to build good long rail
road, but still it continues to come
until the Eureka Road is forced to
put new force of hands on its line to
| handle it
Two forces of hands are at work
between the beginning of the road
and the tunnel and a force at each
end of the tunnel is disturbing the
rest of the limestone that has beer
hidden away so long in the ''rocE
ribbed hills" Other camps are be
ing established beyond the TUNE
and some of the Eureka merchants
are kept busy furnishing them. New
forces of hands are to be put on just
as soon as the road is opened up
sufficient for them to be used. There
are a number of men here now and as
is the custom of such men when not
employed they are without money, so
almost every family is called on each
day to furnish some deserving man a
meal. These are not the ordinary
tramps that beg for a living but
honest men waiting for work. There
is no longer any doubt about the
matter, the railroad is coming and
already new life is entering those
who have been waiting a life time to
see this realized.

" know that very natural
grade exists midway between Har-
risen and Francis Bear Creek
Springs but when one remembers
the encouragement and assistance
given the new company by Harrison
it is out of question to decide that
that city is doomed to a cold snub.
We don believe itrlt is now a set
tied fact with allbroad thinking peo-
pie that the road will be built with
out delay direct to Dodd City. and,
the circulation of the above men
toned theories is strong evidence
that this is inevitable; else WHY
should they be talking of building
three and a half or four miles north
of Harrison-this course could only
land them in Dodd City as there is
no other place OF Importance IN this
immediate district, Bear IN mind
that we are only twenty-eight miles
east and north of Harrison with one
of the most natural ridges for rail
road purposes in the world connect
ing. Here's what we think about it,
and YOU can readily see the point.
Harrison is on probation. If she is
good and hangs up n few more
thousand the railroad company will
gladly build to her If she is not the

build to her anyway. Seeiifit don't

ity and, noticeably, they don't spiel
their intentions to every human
monograph" We were directly in
formed last month by a Boone eoun-
ty "phonograph' of a pointer
that we had known and cherished
many months-a confidential tip
that the road would be built with
out cessation to Dodd City, Well
what's the use of being SO confident
ial and making so many bones about
it, Blab it right out without spit
ting and Tuning and being SO eau
tious as though You were on the

parry can never suffer loss from any
thing they have told YOU.

The Field Too Broad For Some People.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-Cau you tell why the
Harrison papers are taking so much interest in
mining lands outside of this county and are so
eagerly booming other towns2
QuERIsr.
The REPUBLICAN knows not why such should
be so but appeals to the records to show that it
is not gullty.-Harrisou Republican,
1t is unnecessary for Others of the
local press to dodge this comment;
the TIMES is the journal meant, and
only the tendency to ambiguity of
the anonymous correspondent pre-
vents such statement. 1t shouldnot
be necessary for us to reiterate the
policy of the TIMES along the line of
the development of the North Arkan-
sas Zinc Field, and we only hint it
now for the benefit of the new-com-
er whose local enthusiasm precedes
alike his citizenship and his under
standing of conditions. For several
years this paper has labored broad
ly and unsel6shly to acquaint the
world with the richness of the entire
section, believing that not only gen
eral growth but local advancement
would be best conserved by such a
policy; the puny interests of the To-
cal dealer, here and elsewhere, whose
ideas of advancement centre in few
options secured in single neighbor-
hood have never influenced the
TIMES. The generous assistance
given us in this work by most of the
citizens of Harrison has long since
convinced us of the endorsement of
all her people whose broadness gives
them a right to be considered in such
matters.

Marble City Mineral Country.

Of the series Of original Mineral re-
ports published by TINES. during its
first round up of the zinc belt, it will
be perhaps recalled that none OF
them stimulated greater outside in
terest than the one from Marble City
in Newton county.
The report was also to some ex-
tent, surprise to our own citizens,
because it proved that the zine bear
ing territory, south from Harrison,
was nearer to its doors than had
been conceived of it, But there is no
doubt that the greatest value, which
attached to it at the time, lay in the
fact of supplying information of an
instructive and original mineral tor
nation, distant only a few hours
drive from the great highway
through the length OF the zinc belt,
While it had been, OF course, i'm
possible to loretell the showing
which the native and nonresident
miners have made since that time,
all local determinations OF the report
were staked upon the certainty OF
ore, in quantity, being present at
points where it is now found. This
fact it is which has given rise to the
enthusiasm of the Mill creek miners
when distinguishing the efforts o.
the TIMES as the reason of theil
many discoveries of ore, and the
general prosperity OF their camp,
The second report, published to-
day, of necessity confines itself to
showings that will satisfy prospect
ors and investors OF the value anC
extent of the ore field found IN tht
Mill creek gulch For it is no Longer
a question of its formation carrying
ore, as it is question of outlet fol
mineral properties of known value
the opening of which cannot els,
than give rise to mining operation,
on large scale
The TINES, as mineral authority
for North Arkansas, is much graft
fed over the sponsorship conferred
upon it by the Mill creek miners anC
prospectors. Both the first and The
present report have been undertaken
in their behalf because the minera
resources Of their country made il
worth while to do so. This is, after
all, the tie that binds it to the Mil
creek gulch, as it does to all othel
localities of the field whose mines
mineral properties or other resour
ces merit the interest of miners anC
investors, This course has lett tn,
paper without any enemies to feat
and without any friende to G,vur
And, therefore, this principle having
governed the course of the TIMES
we have the result in the conhdenc,
of miners in the explorations, as wei
as the confidence tf outsiders in it,
reports of the Arkansas field, wheth
err of current transactions, proper
ties, localities, counties, or of thC
country as a whole.

Taking Kansas City, Denver, Bir-
mingham, Atlanta, or any other live
city as an example, and studying
the main cause that condueed to it's
growth, it will be found that unity
OF action and fellowship in business
circles constituted the power that
gave life and progressiyeness. Il
there ever was a man in any one of
the cities named who WAS guilty of
any of the belittling jealousy that
sometimes distinguishes" an indi
yidual, he soon became lost sight of
in the united effort for the upbuild-
ing of the town. The men who gave
tone to their cities and made them
attractive to prospective buyers,
were those who, unable to suit a Wis
itor, were always willing to assist
Others in the same business to meet
wants,
The man who gains a dime and
obviously regards his neighbor who
has made twenty-five cents, might
well preempt ground enough for his
last resting place so faras usefulness
to a community is concerned, Were
it not that visitor often forms I'M
favorable impressions of section OF
country by coming into contact
with him, he would be as harmless
as a dead magnolia tree in a door
yard, being the unsightly litter that
dishgures but otherwise not danger
Gus
We have been led to make these
remarks by the jealousies shown in
some of the cities of North Arkansas.
Harrison, secure in her future
through the liberality and generous
and united action OF all her business
men, has set an example that can
well be followed by neighboring
towns, for the freedom from jealousy
that is apparent here is as notable
as it has been profitable to all.
When the good of Harrison is to be
considered, there is no hanging back
and no man waits tor another to eX-
plot his Individual business, but
rather all checrfully unite and aid
each other in bearing whatever ex-
penses are likely to be incurred,
while each man generously assists
his neighbor. This is one of the
things that has made Harrison so
attractive to those of other states.
There might be more unity and
more fraternity, but as the long
looked for millennium is still far dis
tant, no one anticipates an over
flowing measure Of the angelic virtue
that causes one to surrender his own
gain that another might be benefit
ted. The TINES, which has labored
long and earnestly for the growth
of this community now takes pleas
ure in acknowledging the heartiness
and unity with which all have labor
ed in a common cause. The present
bright prospect is the result,

hold territory as a colonial possess

most preposterous and dangerous
