of Ore Proved-Railroad Now
Reaches the Center OF
the Region.

Especial Eureka Springs (Ark) letter.
DERHAPS no region within the
Il Mississippi basin has come into
such prominent and general no.
tice in SO short time as has that
of the North Arkansas mineral field.
While much has been written about
its wealth and resources, IL has, hith-
Srto, been written in the future
tense But with the opening of the
ST. Louis u 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 az Harrison and shipped
to the sznelter at Cherryvale; Kan.
The result removes all doubt as to
the feasibility of marketing Arkan-
Sas ore 1t proves that even the car
Donates, mined within 25 miles of a
railroad, can be profitably shipped.
The experimental stage of the rela-
ton between railroads and Arkansas
mines is safely passed, and ore buy
ers are entering the field.
Ore from 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 shipments
