stumbled against the Morning Star, half way up the mountain.
 To their simple tests it yielded no silver or gold-and little else. They knew they had ore, but knew not it's value. The claim changed ownership upon slight provocation and for trifing price. The consideration at one time being, as 'tis said, a mess not of pottage-but of roasting ears. And again, for certain number of cans of oysters-cove oysters at that, another owner parted title to prop erty, which is recently reported as having sold for $25O,OOO. While his tory may not repeat this graphic story of the extreme transaction from a 25-cent claim to a $250,000 property, yet the transactions relate what has happened, in degrees, over and over again. Of the thousand or more established claims or mines in the four counties, most of which were located by native prospectors, the majority are still in the hands of resident owners. With a few notable exceptions, the field has not yet been syndicated.
 Most investors now arriving, there fore, prefer to negotiate for located and partly developed prospects, rather than to devote time and take the un- certain chances of prospecting on their own account.
 In summing up the situation in the North Arkansas field, points for con- sideration are: Certainty of title, ad- vanced stage of specula tion, not yet reached. Tracta bility of ore; and ease with which it is mined and prepared for shipment. But upon the one con tingency of transportation is hinged all others. Transporta tion by water is an accomplished fact. More than a thousand tons of ore, hauled 10 to 20 miles to the White river, have been fioated to Batesyille and thence shipped by rail to the Wisconsin smelt- CTS and there reduced for Belgian ex- portation.
 From greater distances along the tributaries of the White river, the ore has been foated down in steel barges or slight tonnage and draft. But these are conceded to be temporary make shifts to be cast aside by their project OTIS as fast as each district is reached by the railroads, which, after all, are looked upon as the arbiters of destiny measuring, by their proximity, the prosperity of each camp.

about what she wanted if she gave it the right name. So she and Louise had planned quiet affair" not ''recep- tion' or party at which they had decided to invite about 9 CT 30 per- sons representing the old and aristo- cratic families of Champion.
 Aunt" said Louise after they had discussed what they would have to wear and to eat, what do you think of inviting Rhepa Dwight?''
 "What!' exclaimed Aunt Royal. ''Tae leader of the Salvation Army. What are you thinking of, child?"
 "She is a beautiful singer" replied Louise. She seemed to be thinking hard of something.
 sDo you mean to invite her in q pro fessional capacity to help entertain the company" asked Aunt Royal.
 "She wouldn't come in that capaci- ty,'' replied Louise, with a dry laugh.
 What makes you think of inviting her, then?'' asked Aunt Royal, with q searching look.
 "Oh, never mind! I had an idea," re- piled Louise.
 Later in the afternoon she went out. "alklnS QOWn into the town, as Sne frequently did in winter. She loved the exercise, and, finding that it helped to keep her we'll and good looking, she persevered in it even in stormy weath- CT.
 Rhena Dwight lodged with an elder ly widow who kept two or three other boarders in a house just below the army hall. Louise, after walking around the square, went down past the hall and knocked at this lodging house. Rhena was in, and Louise was directed to her room. She knocked, and Rhena herself opened the door. She did not know Louise at first, as the light in the passageway was dim. When she did fully recognize the face and figure with it's rich setting of cost ly furs, she at first colored slightly. Then she asked her to come in. Louise entered, and Rhena closed the door after her. Outside the snow was be- ginning to fall very fast, and the short winter day was deepening it's twilight about the town of Champion.

LIN NORTH ARKANSAS
A Vast District of Undeve1oped
 Mineral Resources.
What the Shipment of the First Car
 of Ore PrOved-Rai1rOad Now '. Reaches the Center of the Region.

! Especial Eureka Springs (Ark.) Letter.) nERHAPS no region within the
 Mississippi basin has come into
 such prominent and general no- tice in so short a time as has that of the North Arkansas mineral field. While much has been written about its wealth and resources, it has, hith- erto, been written in the future tense. But with the opening of the St. Louis & Northern Arkansas rail road to Harrison. on the border of the mineral region, and in the very vortex of action, prophecy will no longer serve.
 Promise founded upon contingency and speculation upon surmise must now give way to cold facts. Actual demonstration, for which the people have anxiously waited for years, has now begun. The first car of ore, car bonite from the Amy mines, has been loaded at Harrison and shipped to the smelter at Cherryvale, Kan. The result removes all doubt as to the feasibility of marketing Arkan sas ore. It proves that even the car donates, mined within 25 miles of a Td11TOdu, cdH Ue pIOHCdUly SuIppSO. The experimental stage of the rela tion between railroads and Arkansas mines is safely passed, and ore buy CTS are entering the field.
 Ore from a dozen camps which mine the silicates and carbonates of zinc, and which require no other treatment before shipping, is being hauled into Harrison, and several Hundred tons of ore are already in the bins there awaiting shipment. The producers of jack, which re- quires crushing before marketing, are equally active. A half dozen mills are being placed in position, and within 30 days double that num- Der will be in operation.
 Within a radius of 35 miles of liar rison are all the important mines of Boone, Marion, Newton and Searcy

counties. These, by custom and for reasons of convenience, are grouped into districts, as follows: The Omaha, Crooked Creek, Sugar Or chard, Dodd City, Rush Creek, Toma- hawk, Panther Creek and Mill Creek. In the Rush Creek district is situated the Morning Star mine, which first brought to prominent no tice the wonderful richness of the region, and attracted hither the pros pector with his pick. And through out the era of development which followed, the. humble pick has played 8 prominent part.
 That is the fact, pertinent and per- sistent, which distinguishes North Arkansas from any other zinc field in the world. Here is a region where the geologist played an indifferent second to Professors Pick and Shov-

| fronted with the entire absence of transportation of it's products in ! event of success. On the other hand, | the railroads, while ready to extend | facilities whenever such were actual 1 ly required, did not care to antici- | pate these requirements, especially in a country where construction is extremely difficult and immensely
 expensive. And so development wait ed upon railroad, and railroad upon 1 development.
 At this juncture the Morning Star 1 mine again played an important part in the mining history of North Ar kansas. From the hundreds of drifts
 and shafts which have been run in the exploration of this "Mountain of Ore,'' more than a thousand tons of
 marketable ore has been taken. But
 what is of vastly greater import to
 the whole region is the fact that
 these openings are complete ver1fi- cation of the prediction that the
 presence and appearance of the car
 bonates indicated large bodies of
 jack further back and. the deeper the
 mining the richer they would grow.
 The direction and distribution of
 these shafts have been such as to
 block out in a solid, proven mine
 thousands of tons of rich ore, pre- senting the anomaly of a mine not to be mined and hoisted, but to be quar- ried and dumped. While most of the districts furnish examples of this ac- possibility in a modified form or lesser degree, operations are by no means confined to them; but this demonstration of results has stimu- lated every form of mining, which is everywhere being pushed with the, greatest activity.
 The foregoing references to the Morning Star mine are not made for comparison with. the wealth and inn portance of scores of other valua ble properties, but for the purposes of illustration; and because it is not only the original discovery of zinc in large quantity in Arkansas, But be- cause it presents, in the most con- else and comprehensive manner, the results of systematic investigation.' It's history tells the story of the dis covery, vicissitudes and final expan- sion of the North Arkansas field. The existence of zinc in Arkansas has long been known. But while scientific exploration was being con- ducted in a desultory way with un- important results, the natives in their search for the precious metals

el'' in the first development, as we'll as in it's discovery. Although the ama- teur or native prospector uncovered hundreds of bodies of ore, it was de- clared by the professionals that these were at best but shallow faces of carbonates-and carbOnates were little sought, because the American processes of smelting are mainly adapted to jack. The region had it's defenders, however, who maintained that behind and below these weather wrought carbonates were stored the main bodies of jack. But the pros pector, however, strong in his faith that the more desirable ore was there, was not equipped to cope with conditions which stood between him and the proof.
 The. remoteness and inaccessibility of the region rendered the importa- ton of mac hinery, necessary for 6eep and effective exploration extremely hazardous.
 And even if capital could be i'm 6uced to accept the risk, it was con
