THE new RAILROAD.
Encouraging Talk in the Railroad
Circles Of Memphis.
SH0RTLlNE FROM NASHVILLE TO
ST. LOUIS.

A special from Memphis, Tenn.
to the Louisville Times, under
date Ct July 18th, says:
"a we'll defined rumor is preva-
lent among persons of this city
cognizant with railroad affairs that
the Illinois Central system is
about to absorb the Tennessee
Central railroad.
The fact that the Illinois Gen.
trail has for a long time been de-
sirous of obtaining a line of its
own to Nashville, lends color to
the rumor. In addition extensive
work is being done in and around
Hopkinsville, KY, and Cave-in-
Rock, on the Ohio river, looking
to the connection of the Hopkins
vile line with another line from
Hopkinsville to st. Louis.
1t is understood here that the
Tennessee Central will form a part
of through service between Nash
vile aid ST. Louis, connecting
with the Illinois Central :at Hop.
kinsville. A branch of the ILL.,
nois Central is to be constructed
from Marion, Ky, to Cave-in-
Rock.
If the proposed deal goes thro-
ugh line between Nashville and
st. Louis that will be forty or fifty
miles shorter than the present
route will thus be established.

Several samples of the carbonate
of zinc sent to Waring q Son for
analysis taken from the Farmer
property of The Henderson syndi-
cate, gave very sur prising results,
stronger, perhaps, than any zinc
carbonate mined in the district.
The picked ore ran as follows:
Metallic zinc, AZ 80 per cent.
to 1851 per cent. carbonate of
of zinc; this carried half of one
per cent. iron.
The average samples taken from
the duUp hsphazard resulted:
No. 2. 1915 metallic zinc, equal
to 95 80 carbonate zinc.
No. 3. 1915 metallic zinc,
equal to 1882 carbonate.

MINING SHARES
ARE JUMPING!
Marion Mineral Company Stock Advances rs per
Cent In Four Days-Opening of a Great
Body of Carbonate the Cause-Heavy
Shipments of Ores and CIays.
THE WEEKLY ROUNDUP SUPERB !

The cause for the rapid advance
in the price Of Marion Mineral
company shares during the past
four days was not known TO but
one or two Interested parties until
yesterday There have been many
runors floating around town to ac-
count for the Jump from 80 to go,
which has taken place in this time
Today most OF the holders are
asking 70. but no sales have yet
heen made at that figure, although
offers are made to buy at 60 aud
ia one case 90 WAS bid.
Fred Clement, who has been
with the company since its incep-
ton, and has filled all sorts of pla-
ces, from handling a pick and sho-
vel to buying lands outright for
the company. was corraled 10y a
Pass representative yesterday,
and pointedly asked what caused
the breeze.
Fred is the most innocent, the
most ignorant man an interviewer
ever met with when Fred don't
want to give up, and be has the
most provoking slowness OF speech
when he is blocking out language
to conceal anything, that it puts
an interviewer into the depths of
dispsir.
What's causing this Jump in
the oompany's stocky' was asked.
oh, | reckon its Old Dad" he
replied, after considering the mat
ter ten minutes.
"Old Dad? who is Old Dad p
"Oh, just Old Dad. He is Old
Jlm's Granddaddy you know
This WAS pleasant TO know, OF
course, especially that Old jim
had Ia near relative. but it didn't
seem t ill tho bill exactly and
Fred was warned that the next Of
Tense would be met with lynch
ing bee aud he would be promi-
neut part of the procession, when
he started in:
We'll, calculate" he said,
that Old Dad is at the bottom OF
it. You see, the company bought
the Miller and the Millikan lands
about eight miles west Of Marion,
aud our work there 50 far has
shown what you call out west a
double bonanza, onl y this is carbo-
nate Of zinc instead of gold and
silver, and | reckon there's more
carbonate there than won Id make

300 feet long, and the vein of car
Donate is 40 feet wide and | don't
know how much wider, for the two
sides of the vein are not yet unco-
vered. We have made trenches
across the vein for quarter of a
mile aud the carbonate is bigger
and bigger. It's regular Old
Dad OF a vein, and if it isn't II
Granddaddy to Old Jim am
away off on relationship. You
see it will cost the company just
about $3.50 to put it on the cars at
Marion, and from the make up of
the blamed thing there must be
half a million tons there, 30 you

there's only one-tenth Of that

OF coal land near Sturg!s, have
been completed and turned over
to Mr.. Sayre. The delay was caus-

pers.
The erection of a tipple for load
ing the output of coal on to cars
will be commenced at once and
pushed with yigor, the plans and
specifications having been prepar
ed for some time. The mining
track, which will hold ten cars,
can be easily extended to accom-.
modate largely increased output
and will be constructed by the ii.
linois Central railroad. This land
is very fortunately situated, the
coal of high grade, an entry hav-
ing been made some time ago by

complished at the minimum o.
cost. 1t is expected that an out
put of at least 300 tons daily will
be made before snow flies.

The magnificent examples of
Crittenden county ores that have

where they will be shown for a

from the mines adjacent TO and
surrounding the Reed Mining
conpany's property. almost with
in the city limits of Marion, and
represent pretty nearly all valua-
BILE ores and clays that are being
shipped from the district. The
advance in prices of the Reed lots
aud $1,000 in mining stock to $40,
hardly represents 10 per cent. of
the additional value that the late

given to the stock. Ii would not
be at all surprising should the de-
velopments now under way con-
tinue as promising that the entire
issue would be withdrawn from
sale absolutely.
