No other part of the United States
has a more unique history in the
way of mineral development than
the section nereabouts. and in none
are these development undertakings
of a more interesting character
Nevertheless, | presume ! AN safe in
saying that the preponderating ma
jority of the people in this world
know no more of conditions in this
section than | did when an invita-
tion came to me to come over here
and see what is being done in the
way Of hourspar, zinc and lead de-
velopement. had seen huorspar
specimens at the magnificent State
exhibit made BY Kentucky at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition in
st. Louis, and had vague ideas of
the lead and zinc deposit. Kentucky

tions to me.
| find in fuorspar this section is
producing practically everything that
comes from American huorspar mines
To-Day, aud is seemingly destined to
largely supply not only the entire
American demand for this product,
but to ultimately ship its output to
foreign ports as we'll. Also that
there are geological aud mineralOgi-
cal reasors for believing that this
district will become great and per
manent producer of lead and zinc,
rivaling the famous Missouri lead
aud zine sections, while there are
likewise expectations that there will
be an important revival in iron ore
production here, as well a. devel-
opement in the mining of barytes and
other minerals, including cobalt, a
substance so important in electrical
work that Edison has declared he can
tremendously reduce the cost of cleo
tric automobiles by its use. Cobalt
is new find here, but it is said to
have been found in promising quani-
ties, aud it is hoped that by further
prospecting It may develop into a
commercial proposition. Barytes is
found here in several counties in
quantities sufficient to justify mining
operations, and some of it runs us
high as 99l per cent. pure.
1t is On other minerals, however,
that the section bases it's claim TO
consideration, especially fuorspar
aud zinc, and while the present iron
production is of minor importance,
too, is counted on too add to the
development and wealth Of the sec
tion, and is iron which gives to the
district its most unique historical as
pect. For iron has been mined here
for three-quarters ola century, and
one Of the mines was owned and oper-
ated by Andrew Jackson, and is
known to this day as the Jackson
mine. In this district also, on the
Cumberland river in Crittenden
county. was the site of the Kelly
furnace, where the first Bessemer
steel ever made in the world was pro-
duced for il is a matter OF record
that some years before Bessemer an-
nounced in England the process Of
making steel, to which his name is
irrevocably fixed, William Kelly had
discovered the same process over here
and had entirely perfected the pro-
cess OF manufacture on identically
the same lines for which Bessemer
has received such universal credit.
There were dozens Of furnaces in this

THE little city of Argenta,
 across the river from Little Rock
 was the scene of most brutal
 murder Saturady night, followed by a race riot which resulted in
 one negro being strung to a tele- graph pole and the houses of several negroes, being burned. While John Lindsey, an aged white man, ,and his son were pass ing the undertaking establish . ment of some negroes the body of the old man was literally shot to pieces and the young man dan. gerously wonded from shots fired from within the building. The Colum Brothers, ,proprietors of the undertaking establishment from which the shots were fired, are being hunted by determined possee and if they are found, more telegraph poles will likely be called into use. The Colums are desperate negroes and will commit murder upon the slightest
 provocation and it is feared ttey may not be captured without 8 further loss of life. The attack upon old man Lindsey and his son was without the slightest provocation and was made on account of some ill feeling tie 1 negroes held against inc Iind- sey's.

An Erroneous Report.

For several weeks an item has been going the rounds of the press rot only in Arkansas but othe, states to the effect that any person opening a letter by mistake is subject to a fine of S2OO. This item follows:
 "A dispatch from Washington says that the postoffice depart. ment declares that any person found guilty of opening letters of others by mistake is to be held accountable by the postal off, cials. The guilty person is liable 10 a fine not exceeding s20O. The postoffice department has ruled that mail must be look ed over before it is taken from the office, and that any letters put in your box by mistake must be re. turned before leaving the build- ing, under a penalty of S200 for failure to do so.'
 A great deal of comment has been caused by this item, many people fearing that an error of the kind indicated might subject them to fine or imprisonment. The postoffice department, how ever, has set aside all such fears in the following letter, which was addresse d to the editor of a,. exchange in response to an irqui1y he had made on the subject.
 Office of the Postmaster Gene cal :.
 Washington, D. c.
 Replying to your letter of the 17th instant, addressed to the postmaster general, 1 have to say that there is nothing in the laws, regulations, or rulings of the postoffice department which ore scrioes any penalty whatever fo1 the opening of a letter, unless suchopening is with wrongful in tent. The newspaper ps ragraph referred to in your correspond ent's letter has been going rh. rounds for sometime, 4.t.. ougJ efforts have been ma 1e to core q it. Section 1892 R. s., tho ual, law that prescribes a penalty fo opening letters, does not punisl where there is no wrop 2 intent It reads as follows:
 "Any person who, shall talk, any letter, postal ca I'd or packet although 1t does n ot contain an, article of value or evidence the re of, out of 8 pos,toffice or brancl postoffie, or from a letter or mai carrier, or which has been ir any postoffice or branch D, ostof flee or in the custody of any lette, or mail carrier, before it has been delivered to the per son tc whom it was directed, witt a de. sign to obstruct the core spond ence, or to pry into the ,,siness or secrets of another, or sl. all se- crete, embezzle, or destl1 y the same, shall. for every SUI oh of- fense, be punishable hv -Gna of not more than five hundre d dol lars or by imprisonment at hard labor for not more than one year, or by both.''
