ITEMS CAUGHT AT EUREKA.
"A Few Observations Made While
 in the Famous Resort.


 Monday and part of Tuesday 7Swas spent in making our annual of acquaintances with fapatrons of THE TRIBUNE in Eu- raka Springs, soliciting new read- --ers, etc.
 It is always our pleasure to in- crease the number of subscribers we have in the famous city of Springs upon each succeeding uisit we make of this kind. Our Isghree score of readers there in scludes many of the principal busi- ness people of the city, who as a general thing cheerfully renew ,1 and express their good wishes for gthe growth and prosperity of Green Forest.
 There are still many evidences of substantial improvement in the ', famous health resort. The walls of the great hotel building on the site of the old Perry House are now up to the top of the seventh 2 story. One more story is yet to go on to be used as roof garden. The building now towers far above all others in that part of 7tlle city. In both architecture and accommodation this house will | be a close rival of the Crescent. The chief promoter of this enter prise is w. M. Duncan, whose hberality and free investment of capital has done as much or moro to make Eureka Springs what it istoday than has any other man. The people of that city should be and we believe are extremely proud of him.
 Freeman & Kimberling have begun the erection of a large stone livery barn on a site just north of the old J. w. Hill stand which these gentlemen now oc- cupy. This is another enterprise that means considerable for the city.
 s Dr. D. Samuel, the specialist, who has just opened a sanitarium there for the cure of chronic dis eases, will contribute something of importance to the city. Such an enterprise is necessary ad- jnnct to all resorts of the charac- ter of Eureka Springs. From what welearn of Dr. Samuel he is the man to make it a success. ss Another business in Eureka Springs thatis going to add to the E Importance of the city and the Country generally is the big de- partment store of Mathews & Hawkins. This firm is now com petitor for the local trade of Montgomery Ward and Sears 6 Rohuck and their like. They now have in stock more than S5O,- 900 worth of goods which they propose to sell at catalogue prices and the goods are guaranteed to 7 be equal in every respect to those sold by mail order houses. This Store will certainly be the means of keeping much money at home that has heretofore been sent away. Ycu can scarcely mention < an article outside of dry goods and groceries they do not handle. M There is considerable mining activity about Eureka Springs. s@Pivot Rock Mining Co.,, recently aprganized and incorporated for operation near there, is giant Enterprise, having a capital stock ssof half million. Some well Known financiers are backing the scheme, including c. H. Smith of @St. Louis. It is understood that lgold is the metal they are after TIand the promoters claim to have positive evidence that they have the genuine article. The de- Svelopments will be watched with ~interest.
 x Boles & Boles, the miners, whose office is in Eureka, are also Enthusiastic on mineral subjects, but their interests lie in different direction entirely. They are dig ging zinc down in Searcy county. They have lease of twenty acres sSlocated on the railroad near St. doe. known as the Ward mine.
