A STUPENDOUS
BODY OF ZINC ORE.
The Marion Mineral Company Have Bonanza
Our Ore Shipments For The Week Very
Large--The Paducah Separator
Troubles Settled.
OHIO RIVER WATERWAY IMPROVED

During the past few months
some very interesting-and un-
truthful-stcries regarding I Ia g
lead aud zinc districts of North
Arkansas, have been published,
says the Zinc News. One of the
most grossly exaggerated stories
was that put in circulation by an
ex-minister Of the goepel who has
turned his attention TO publicity"
work in connection with one OF
the railroads which taps the Ar
kansas field. He declared that
there were 10000 tons Of concen-
trates ready for shipment and that
5000 tons of crush rock were
on the dumps. ready for milling.
The truth IS that the entire output
Of zinc from the Arkansas field
has not reached total OF 5000
tons, much less that quantity of
ore now ready for shipment. The
trouble that North Arkansas has
been encountering Of late has been
the harmful effects of just such
"publi1ity,' either designedly OF
throughIignorance. In the case OF
the ex-divlne the exaggeration
may be attributed to ignorance for
he is sadly lacking in knowledge
of mining OF geographical sub
jects. What the friends of Arksn-
sas want to see printed are facts -
not vapourings. With the devel.
opment which will come during
the next year or two there will be
many more mines in that field
which will be shipping, and the
worth of the field as mining dis
trict demonstrated. Whether it
be proven valuable or worthless,
time only will tell. Meanwhile the
truth il wanted and not wild state.
ments used as basis for more or
less questionable booms.

The Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company will build new
railroad from Providence, KY, to
ShawneetowS, Ill, which report
is also backed bv the fact that the
company already has a corps of
engineers making a survey of the
route.
This move on the part Of the
Louisville and Nashville is due 10
the fact that the Illinois Central
is getting a strong hold in the ter
ritory through which this road will
pass, being the richest portion OF
the state, both for agricultural
purposes and mining
The distance from Providence
is about 30 miles. This move on
the part of the l.. d n. means
