Special Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago

FORT SMITH, March 1s 1896
Some years ago when a visitor asked what
was raised In Arkansas a citizen of that
state. replied: Mostly hell and cotton
There have been many changes and the
population has increased considerably since
that date The people continue to raise d
good deal of both. but are slowly introduce
ing innovations and are doing many other
things that bring wealth into the state. In
his last report to Congress Secretary VIII
son calls attention to the progress of Ar
kansas particularly in agriculture, and
points out the significant fact that she leads
the list of states in the organization of uew
national banks and shows an increase of
503S per cent In the amount of deposits dur
ing the last five years The amoun. of
money deposited by the people of that state
In their banks has doubled every year since
1900. South Dakota leads the northern
states in this respect. Her bank deposits
have increased $50 per cent. or only about
two thirds as much as Arkansas North
Dakota has increased her bank deposits 294
per cent during the last five years, Kansas
2jg per cent and Iowa 100 per cent
1t should be said that the increased de-
posits in Arkansas represent actual wealth;
the profit that has been acquired by five
years of labor on the farms and In the for
ests particularly, and In a large number OF
small factories that have been established
in that state. 1t does not represent specu-
iation nor watered stocks nor borrowed cap
ital nor imaginary gains, but it teaches
that the people on the average are five hun
dred times better off today than they were
at the beginning of this century. No state
has improved SO much except perhaps
Texas. and it may be said that none needed

Dream of William Cruise.

If the dream OF william Cruise OF Mime
apolis comes true there is gold in the soil
also and he Is trying to prove 1t. Accord
ing to story / heard at Eureka Springs
yesterday Mr.. Cruise had vision one night
and saw strange things, which he has since
been trying to realize. An unseen power
led him to a place in Arkansas, where lie
sank a triangular-shaped shaft from the
top of hill into a bed OF earth that was
rich with gold. He was impressed with
the vision that he has been trying to follow
II out IN all its details. He searched the
state of Arkansas until he found the spot
he saw in his dreams just outside the
town of Rogers. the Frisco road. lie
bought the property, sunk the shaft, trian-
gular shaped. and found the ore. He ship
ped a carload as common dirt to St. Louis.
and, although he refuses to give any ac-
count of il himself It Is ritmored that ii
panned out between $+09 and $500 IL the
ton. Al any rate. Mr.. Cruise has been very
secretive about his movements since. lie
has built a high board fence around the
mine. and will give no information con-
cerning his discoveries. lie wanted 10 ship
another carload Of ore 10 81. Louis, but the
railway company rats sa :lie rate on him.
They charged him only nominal rate for
the first carload, because they believed 1t
TO be simply dirt but ~hen the agent heard
that il worth 500 ton he cnargcd
him accordingly, and Mi. Cruse has not
made the expected shipmont.
He is carrying aut the other details OF
his dream, however. He has placed a book
for public subscription TO tue stock of his
mine In the corner grocery az Rogers ana
offers to let the people Of that town in on
the ground floor He is also p.cparing to
bring down from Minneapolis In April n
train load of his feIiow townsmen, g., that
they can have 4 chance - share his future
profits. But, although ,ifat is a par. Of .he
dream. the railway company Is not encC u,.-
aging the enterprise. 1t insists uuon kut,yy

Prospects and Possibilities.

And as for prospects and possibilities l
doubt whether any section of the Union has
SO much to offer. Only one-fifth of the
agricultural land of the state is under cul-
tivation and that is only about half cul-
tivated. Three-ifths of the area is still
covered with virgin timber and $4,000
square miles of this is fit for the sawmill
and the factory. The standing pine is esti-
mated at so 000 900, 900 feet, while the sup
ply of hard cabinet woods is still more ex-
tensive and valuable From the borders of
Indian Territory to the banks OF the Mis-
SisSippi river are belts OF unbroken forests
of oak. hickory. ASH walnut. elm. gum and
cypress worth billions of dollars for rail-
way car and wagon makers, furniture fac
tories tool handles, barrels and casks and
all other purposes for which hard wood Is
needed The forests of the central states
have been despoiled: the lumber barons
have stripped Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin of their pine, and are now rap
idly devastating the forests along the gulf,
but Arkansas remains practically ull-
touched, although last year more than go
0O0, 0D0 worth of hard wood lumber was
shipped out OF the state to the furniture
factories of Michigan, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin and the wagon works OF ONO.
The mineral wealth OF Arkansas is even
greater than the timber and it remains
practically undisturbed According TO the
observations of the government geolegsts
there are 600 square miles or coal of SEMI
anthracite quality, which produces Is per
cent more steam than the btuminous coal
Of Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. The veins
run near the surface and are from four TO
eight feet thick For about ten years these
mines have been casually worked, and
about two and q half million IONS. mostly
for local consumption, Were taken out last
year. There are also large deposits of iron,
lead and zinc which have 5carcely been ex-
plored. ard traces of copper have been
found in several places
