GENTLEMEN: Your esteemed ia.
vor Of the 10th inst, was duly re.
ceived, and / take pleasure in Civ.
ing you the information desired.
The Reeo building lots are with.
in a few minutes walk of the Ma
rion post Office. They are 50x150
feet in area, with 40 foot streets in
front and Is foot alleys in the
rear OF each lot. The alleys con-
meet with the streets at each side.
These lots for building purposes
alone are worth, in this growing,
money making city every cent Of
the $50 asked for both the stock
and the 1000 shares of stock OF
the Reed Mining company.
The Reed Mining company own
the ore under the 1913 acres of this
land, 100 acres being plated and
filed in the Recorders Office as an
addition to the city of Marion.
Twenty-three acres, more or less,
are decided in fee simple to the
Reed Mining company, for sink
ing the great shafts and for erect
ing the steam plant and milling
works necessary for the successful
and economical mining and ship.

Ami lie provision in money has
been made for this purpose.

stated that the metallic substance

iron with magnetic qualities, and
they guessed it fairly well. too.

or two other mineral that IL ought
not TO be termed a zinc mine, in
the term that is usually applied to
such properties, and certainly not
to be compared in any sense, so
far as the purity Of it's ores are
concerned, with any one OF the
properties opened in Crittenden
county.
The work on the Columbia pro-
perty was resumed somswhst as a
test as to whether the veins in this
county we're assures or simply
blankets of ore, rs in Joplin and
Southwestern Missouri, Northern
Arkansas, Illinois and Wisconsin.
Many heated arguments were bad
between we'll known zino experts
and our local mining men as to
their status. Indeed at one time
the argument became so warm that
the friendly feeling between an
official Of one ofthe largest rsduc-
ton works in the country and one
Of our ordinary miners hsre in
Marion became somewhat chilled,
the Thermometer Of their feelings
toward each other reaching away
below the zero mark. The great
assure Of the Columbia, proven 40

and incidentally help to increase
the dividends on the stock as we'll

both zinc and lead ores.
The above four properties have
reached their maximum develop,
ment within the past ten days.
Their progress in the future can
be predicted with almost absolute
certainty. With an output each of
but 100 tons of zinc dirt per day,
averaging 20 per cent, the net mo-
ney value per month of 30 days
will exceed $4,000.
And these four properties are
only a portion of our Crittenden
county's developed mines. The

year ago was thought possible by
our most optimistic observers.

An ore vein Of this magnitude, a

every thousand tons means a re-
turn to the shareholders of be-

from the smelters.
