PRESIDENTS DAUGHTERS.

The recent death of daughter Of
President Taylor raised the question Of
how many Presidents daughters are
now living. and the sun gives some in
tcresting information about the mat

In the Louise Home at Washington
is a woman, now an octogcnarian. who
orcc diffused an atmosphere of gayety
and brightness throughout the EXccu-

ing to the fact that Mrs. Tyler was
more or less of an invalid she was
practically mistress Of the White
House during her fathers term.
Mrs Semple was = young matron

Cattle Owners Feel More Confidence
in Tubercu|in Tests.
Valuable Additions oil Law Reports Made 10
the State Library.

Tho question of tuberculosis among
cattle is one of vital Importance to
owners of herds. The cattle COM
missoners report that herd owners are
realizing more and more the i'm
portance of keeping their herds clean
and healthy and that the owners have
become better acquainted with the re-
suits derived from tuberculn tests,
and are placing more confidence in its
use.
1t is Il recognized fact that tuberCulin
is not infallible, but in the hands of
careful men its mistakes are said to BE-
few tuberculosis exists among eat
tie in all the thickly populated coun-
tries on the globe. 1t exists to the
greatest extent in the United States
along the Atlantic coast. Prairie and
mountainous sections are practically
free from il. Every state in our Coun
try has its sanitary laws and nearly
every state has a direct law in rela-
ton to contagious diseases among cat
tie and it is well to note that those
who have the work in charge are
carrying it on practically upon the
same lines.

In NORTH ARKANSAS
A Vast District of Undeveloped
Mineral Resources.
What the shipment of the First Car
of Ore Proved-Rnilrond Now
Reaches the Center of
the Region.

Especial Eureka Springs (Ark) Letter.
nERIIAPS no region within the
Il Mississippi basin has come into
such prominent and general no.
tice in so short time us has that
of the North Arkansas mineral field.
While much has been written about
its wealth and resources, it has, hith-
crto, 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 anNiously 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 Cherryvalc, Kan.
The result removes all dGubt as to
the feasibility of marketing Arkan-
Donates, mined within % miles of n
railroad, can be prolitably shipped.
The experimental stage of the rea-
ton between railroads and Arkansas
mines is safely passed, and orc buy
ers are entering the field.
Ore from dozen camps which
mine the silicates and carbonatcs 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 he in operation.
Within radius of 81 miles of Har-
rison are all the important mines of

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 its
value. The claim changed ownership
upon slight provocation and for
tritiing price. The consideration at
one time being, as it's said, mess
not of pottage-but of roasting ears.
And again, for a certain number of
cans of oysters-cove oysters at that,
another owner parted title to IA prop
erty, which is recently reported as
having sold for $250,OOO. While his
tory may not repeat this graphic
story of the extreme transaction
from n 2j-cent claim to a $3.50, 900
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 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.
sderation are: Certainty of title, ad-
vanccd stage of speculation, not yet
reached. TractabiIity 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. transportation by water
is an accomplished fact. More than a
thousand tons of ore, hauled 10 to 2C
miles TO the White river, have been
foated to Batesville and thence
shipped by rail to the Wisconsin smelt.

portation.
