chespness OF Hillside Mining.

Dir. Branner says: Being lifted
from beneath the sea the upper beds
have been attacked by streams that
have cut gullies deeper and deeper in
to them and wider and wider until
some of them are hundreds of feet in
depth and mile or more in width.
From this briefly stated history it will
be seen why it is that through so large
a part of the zinc region of North Ar
kansas the ore beds are high in the
hills. They have been left there by
the erosion of streams that have cut
their valleys down through the zinc
beds into the underlying sediments"
A great many of the zinc deposits be-
ing thus found in the mountain sides
the miners will not be troubled with
water and the ores in a measure will
be quarried instead of mined They
will therefore be able to mine the ores
at cost of from 81 to 81 per ton while
it costs from $40 to S14 in other camps.
Many shafts are put down to ore at
an expense of 81 to SO per foot. Some
for less. Tunneling and stripping
the ore bodies is generally the least
expensive work,
The cost of producing Arkansas zinc
ore is variously estimated at from two
to seven dollars per ton. An ordinary
mine with cheap hand appliances will
pay 500 to $500 per week net profit,
while with a steam concentrating mill
the profits may reach $1,000 per week.
CLEANING THE OREs.-This too is
Inexpensive. 1t is done by washing.
The water is found with the ore or in
water courses near by. Labor is the
chief expense. Hundreds of mines
will pay rich weekly dividends with
little or no machinery.

Character OF Our Zinc Ore.

The ores of this district are for the
most part sulphides, rich in metal
the best grades known in the world
But there are individual deposits OF
silioates and eorbonates of zinc OF
great magnitude.

properly called sphalerite or blende, Is
a union Of zinc aud sulphur. It il
two-thirds zinc and one-third sulphur
or theoretically g. per cent. zinc and
80 per cent sulphur.
II is very evident on account Of the
abundance and purity Of Arkansas
ores that they will be eagerly sought
after by the zinc buyers in all parts
Of the world.
DR.. Branner says; "The analyses
Of Arkansas sphalerite show that II
the ore be clean it will sell al from
four to six and a quarter dollars more
per ton than the average"

Mining the least Hazardous bushes.

1t is said commercial agencies report
that Of all industries except mining,
only "a per cent succeed; while in the
industry of mining, 11H per cent sue
coed. Wherefore il seems that mining
is incomparably safer in its results
than the average Of ali other classes of
business. We know that in proper
ton to the number engaged more CO.
lossal fortunes have been made at min
ing than at any other avocation. II
should be remembered that the per
centage mentioned applies to all class
es of mining, and that most Of the fail
ures are chargeable to the dishonesty,
extravaganza or incompetence Of trust
ed employees. It should be remem-
bercd, also. that zinc and lead mining,
as rule, are surer of profitable re-
suits than the mining Of gold, silver,
etc, and that North Arkansas presents
a field ia zinc and lead mining which
has no equal on earth for quantity Of
orc, quality, and accessibility at all
most nominal cost. Hence we dare TO

Foreign Market.

"The fiscal year just closed has wit
messed larger foreign demand for
our ore than at any time in the history
of our lead and zinc mining industry,
and for the first time in the history of
zinc mining there has been very
heavy foreign demand for American
spelter, due mainly to the efforts of
the Cherokee-Lanyon Company to find
market abroad for its metal, in order
to relieve the congested condition of
the domestic market of the mines
Since January LIST, 1897, it has shipped
to Liverpool, three-fourths of its en-
tire production, amounting to 1880
tons, and in addition to the demand
for spelter, the excellence of the metal
manufactured by it has called such
attention to the superiority of Ameri-
can ore that Vivian & Sons, of Swan
sea, Wales, have established an agen-
cy in this country, and in the early
part of June loaded in one shipment
1885, 900 pounds of zinc blende, which
was sacked and shipped as ballast
from Galveston, Texas, Owing to the
fact that many European mines have
been worked out and the prospect good
for constant decrease in the foreign
production of zinc ore it is believed
that the export demand Tor both ore
and metal will continue to increase. ="

The miners of this district will have
two markets constantly open to them
and of course will sell in the one which
offers the most money. II is possible
that in few years Europe will buy
the greater part of the output of this
district at higher prices than could be
obtained from the home market. The
zinc mines there are about exhausted
and the smelters must have the
blondes, carbonatcs and silicates Of
this region which are the richest and
most abundant now to be found.

This is practically new mining
tract, but is beyond a doubt the rich
est of any land throughout the mining
district.
Zinc lands have been known to sell
for SIS, 900 an acre recently. This dis
triet being the richest zinc district
ever discovered, it is reasonable to
suppose the time is not far distant
when prices like the above will pre-
vail here.
All lands in this district are increas-
ing in value. Hundreds of pieces
passed over or refused heretofore by
the prospeetor and investor as less de-
sirable than the others have become
immensely valuable. Such instances
multiply on every hand.

Value of the Ores.

Prices are based upon the market
values Of spelter in the ST. Louis MARI
ket and affected by competition among
buyers. Zinc ores are sold by the ton
and range from SEQ to SIS per ton.
All ore sales are cash transactions.
In most cases buyers pay for the ores
when laid down at the railroad but
spmetines large purchases are made
al The mines. When railroads pene-
tratr the district all purchases will be
made al the mines.

Royalties Paid.

Hundreds of tracts of land in the
district will pay large sums weekly in
royalties on ores and that without any
expense to the land owner. Drawing
royalties is like clipping coupons with
this difference, the coupons return a
dividend once in six or twelve months
of six or eight per cent. while few
acres of these zine lands will pay that
and more each week.
