 The State Fair Association agrees to pay all expenses of the one most popular lady from each of the seven congressional districts in Arkansas, to and from the State Fair and dur ing tine Fair. This means railway transportation both ways from any point in Arkansas where the elected lady lives, her hotel bill at a first class hostelry during the entire ten days of the Fair, to furnish her car riage to and from grounds, and to generally entertain her with recep- tions, fetes, etc., during the Fair.

71 MILES OF PAVED STREETS.

In undertaking to pave it's n miles of streets with brick the city of Fort Smith made no mistake, in the opinion of the Times of that city The con- clusion is drawn from a table compil- ed by Daniel w. Mead of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Chicago, which shows the various qualities of street paving materials, after thor. ough tests. The table makes it appear that at first cost brick is cheaper than asphalt or granite block and that it is first in durability under, traffic, first an freedom from decay and second only to macadam in ease of repair. Brick is represented to be first in cheapness of maintenance, with gran its, cobblestone, asphalt, cedar and macadam following in the order nam ed,
 It is assumed that the results noted were obtained where there was equal ity of conditions. In each case the material, the base and the work must Have peeu HrSL class III oFuef to Hldke the tests thorough effective and equit able.
 Unsatisfactory results in paving are inevitable where streets are paved then neglected. This is particularly true of asphalt which, prehaps more than any others, needs to be kept in good repair in order to withstand the enormous traffic usually diverted to asphalt thoroughfares.
 Fort Smith will have streets paved with homemade brick resting upon solid foundation and. the work being

 LOUIS VIA RIVER
Rates for Trip on the s. s. Brown Have Been Sent Secretary J. l.. Caldwell of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade-TO Attend
 Waterways COnven.

Secretary J. L. Caldwell of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade has been in cor respondence with the Arkansas River
 Packet Company relative to getting the steamer s. s. Brown to carry the local business men and Board of Trade delegates to St. Louis in OctO. Der at the annual meeting of the Deep Waterway Convention, at which Pres ident Roosevelt will be present. Doc- tor Caldwell announced this afternoon that he had rates quoted to him, but that he did not want to give them out as yet. "The price is not more than could be reasonably be expected" said Doctor Caldwell and I expect that the terms of the Packet company will be accepted by the local business men and the Board of Trade"
 So now it is practically an assured fact that the business men and the Board of Trade of this city will be represented in St. Louis at the conven- llOu. uIS 10 OIly 1ISHl, oo IAio oeut has more waterways to be developed than any other state, and the object of the meeting is to get President Roosevelt and the other Federal offi- cers interested in the work of open ing up the rivers and inland water ways. It has not been decided yet from what point the boat will start, but t it presumed that Pine Bluff will be the starting point, as the water here is deep enough at that time of the year to let the largest boats come up the river this far
 The s. s. Brown is the largest steamboat af1oat on the Mississipp! river, and is owned by the Arkansas River Packet Company. It has made two trips to this city, and was visited by large number of citizens, who will be only too glad to get to make the trip with the representative cltl- zens of Pine Bluff to St. Louis. The plan for the use of the s. s. Brown at this time to help boost Arkansas
 and Pine Bluff was made several weeks ago by Captain Leon Levey, and was published exclusively in the Gra- pihc at that time. Captain Levey is veteran steamboatman, and his plan has been thought favorably of by the secretries of the Board of Trade in this city and Little Rock.
 It is very probable that large crowd of prominent of the Board or Trade and other interested parties Will go on the Brown to St. Louis and be present at the big parade on the Mis- sissippi river, headed by the boat on which President Roosevelt will be distinguished guest.

seer at one time. In the Northend
group the east drift from the 200
station of the Union shaft, now out
1920 feet, is showing new life in the
face. The ground Is %softening and
may indicate an approach of ledge
formation. Back from the face some
800 feet they ran through several
stringers of quartz that gave low as
says. They have decided to drift
north into Sierra Nevada and south
into Union Con. on the best looking
of these stringers. The north drift
was to be started today.
In the Ophir mine, Mr.. Hirshfeld
says that the newly found ore vein on
the 2200 level is opening out well
and is a very important develop
ment. Supt. Mccormick says that
the average of the ore, fully i've feet
wide in the face of the northeast
drift, is at least $50 per ton. Mr..
Mccormick has hopes that the ore
will extend to the 2S00 level.
In the Savage. Superintendent 1ur-
ney is opening mp a promising body
OF ore from the top of the upraise
above the Sutro tunnel workings. Mr..
Weston says that the ore is seven feet
wide.
The showing in the Sutro tunnel
level of Hale 4 Norcross Is higftR-
favorable and important. Mr.. West
on says that a carload of high grade
ore that has been sacked will be
shipped tomorrow.
Mr.. Hirshfeld says that the ore in
the south drift of the Hale & Nor
cross has been followed into Chollar
ground and is very important for
that property. Mr.. Weston says the
drift is showing a breast Of $25 ore.
At the Ward shaft Mr.. Hirshfeld
says that the drift south from the
2475 pump station has gone far
enough to enable that station to be
opened to receive the first unit of the
new pump and that they are prepar-
ing TO remove the old Con. Virginia
shaft hoist plant to the Ward shaft
and have it ready for lowering the
pump by the time the 2475 station
is completed. The bottom of the
shaft is in favorable ledge matter.
Mr.. Hirshfeld has nothing but
praise for the work they are doing
at the Yellow Jacket mines. F.

Forecast Of Success of Deep Mining
Resumption on Lode.

'aphAbA VIZ l4Dtfs
The successful introduction of cleo
tricity for mining in all its depart
ments will prove one of the incen-
tives to spur mine owners on the
Comstock to put forth renewed ef-
forts to development workJ which
viii eventually lead mp to what will
prove to be a record breaker in the
worlds history of mining. The
mines are being unwatered at sey-
eral points, and this will be contin-
ued until the lowest, workings of the
days gone BY have been reached.
This has already stimulated deyel-
opment work to the east in some OF
the mines, and as the different levels
are opened up it viii be seer that the
ore body in Ophir to the east win he
found to extend down. This ore will
be found to also Il into Con Vir-
sinia, Best & Belcher and even furth-
err southwark.
When the lower levels Of the
mines We're flooded owing to those in
control of the different groups not
being able to agree on certain meas
ures, there was struck In Hale &
Noreross on the 3t00-foot level high
grade g~old-bearing ore, and 1t is sin
there, as is that found in other mines
on the different levels that were

Present Condition Of Black Canyon
Property.
Work for the last two weeks at the
Black Canyon mine has progressed
with unusual activity and been re-
warded with the most gratifying re-
suits. Today the outlook for a reali-
zation OF the company's predictions
seems assured. The manager. st.
John Robinson, writes from there:
Fl can say without exaggeration that
things could not be looking better,
unless something phenomenal were
to take place" This is confirmed by
the assistant manager and foreman,
b. G. Nelson.
Both of the above gentlemen state
that the property is improving daily
and that never before has 1t shown
as we'll as now. They are ~tunneling
in ore all the time and adding fifteen
to eighteen cars to the ore dump each
twenty-four hours. The ore body is

however, give but a faint idea of the
extent of the collaborating deposit. it
is simply a big body Of ore, rich in
free gold. and of such dimensions
that at present II is impossible to fix
any limit to its size. The ore

the last previous assay was $35.54.
The trend of the ore is toward the

of the gold ore supply; II it so
proves, as is confidently expected,
there can be but the definite c%onclu-
sion that the mine is a permanent
one.
There appears to be but one
opinion even now, among those best
acquainted with the situation and
this is to the effect that 1t is virtually

COPPER
EXPERTS OPINION
j. X. WALSH VISITS UBEHEBE IN
INTEREST OF PITTSBURG
PEOPLE.

j. X. Walsh, one of the greatest
and most conservative copper experts
in the United States, returned yes
terday from Ubehebe. and will leave
for the East this morning, going to
Nina by automobile. Mr.. Walsh does
not go into ecstacies over the appear
ance of the camp, of the great noun
tains, and of the adjoining proper
ties. He is a cold blooded business
He went to Ubehebe for one
purpose, and that was to examine the
holdings of the Salsberry company,
or rather of the Ubehebe Copper
Mines and Smelter Corporation. He
went there at the request of Eastern
capital to determine whether there
was a mine there, He found one.
81 spent all OF a day there" said
Mr.. Walsh, 'and | saw all that I
wanted to see. There is a great show
ing in the Ubehebe, and the mines
have been proven for two thousand
feet. 1t costs a great deal Of money
to develop copper mines. and Mr..
S~alsberry has spent a considerable
sum, but he had the encouragement

there in the interest of a number of
Pittsburg people, who wanted 10

1t is a very interesting proposition.
How about the ~yalues5'' Mr..
Walsh was asked.
"As to the values of gold and sill
Yer. | do not know. AS to the cop
| knew that the moment set
my ayes OF the property. 1t Was
necessary for me to make an
extensive examination to know what
they have there, but | did it just the
same, going I'VE a great deal of the
territory. While l have said that ii
costs a great deal of money to de-
velop copper properties, it must be
remembered that the returns are pro-
portionately enormous. Is 1t going to
be worth while to spend the money
in the development of Mr.. SAILS
berry's property" and Mr., Walsh
gave his interrogation a quizzical
glance, lit is, indeed"
Mr.. Walsh makes his home in Los
Angeles, but his connections are in
the East, and he keeps in touch with
the financial centers. Speaking of
the present depression, he said that
It might last thirty or sixty days. not
longer,
But there is always money there,
and lots OF it, for good investment,
and there is more today for mining
investment than there was four or
five years ago. | mean by that that

a good mining proposition is put up

perts to examine it. and if it proves

opment. Mining investments are
preferred in the East to industrials.

Il should say So returned Mr..
Walsh.
For a man of Mr., Walsh's conserv-
alive temperament, and well known
reputation, the answer meant more
than a page of literature. It was
emphatic. and to the point.

and Commences Development.

and Commences Development.
CRESCENT. Lincoln county. New,
Oct. 5.-This camp is on the verge of
a little excitement in mining, not a
boom, but good. lively times. There
is a tendency among northern oper-
ators to pick up a few Of the snaps
lying around while they are cheap.
One of the latest acquisitions oil
northern men and energy to our
camp is S. G.. McMullin of Grand
Junction, Colorado, who has large
mining interests in both Goldfield and
Bullfrog. Mr.. McMullin recently
came into this camp and bought the
Red Star mine, and put on a force OF
men. who now have a 35-foot shaft
sunk on a crevice showing a quartz
streak eleven inches wide which gives
average assays of $40 a ton. Since
Mr.. McMullin returned TO camp and
secured the Double Standard group,
consisting OF three patented claims,
having paid a liberal price, part of
which was cash. This price was not
given out for publication. but it is
known to be about the six figure
mark. A force of men will be put to
work at once getting the property in
shape for thorough and systematic
development. The Double Standard
was a shipper at an early date, when
it was necessary to transport the ore
by wagon to COTS, a station on the
Santa Fe seventy-five miles distant
The mine has a large reserve of low
grade ore that can be handled with
a fair profit, since the Clark road
came into that part of the camp and
within three miles of this property.
The Red Star mine and the Double
Standard are both in the hands OF the
Red Star Mines company, a sclose
corporation, of which Mr.. McMullin
is the moving spirit and financial
hacker. His superintendent, OFT F..
Heller, is a thorough mining man, a
rnineralogist and assayer of note.
The ~Searchlight Crescent company
unwatered the Legal Tender last
week and began sinking with two
of miners. They find their ma
chinery inadequate and cannot ac-
complish much until a new plant can
be put up.
The Nippeno continues to hoist its
daily tonnage OF high grade.
The deed for the millsite at Nor
gantown vas given last week and
the work of grading for founda-
tons will begin.
A. Kemple of Colorado Springs,
Colorado, has let a contract for do
ing the annual labor on his four
claims in this camp.
Stevens and Gibbons advanced the
breast of their tunnel twelve feet last
week, working but n shift a day.
J. f. Stanish has a deal pending
on his Maumee claim, which adioins
the Double Standard group. He ex-
poets parties from the east to visit
and inspect the property in a few
days With several tons of ore on
the dump and the Double Standard
in active operation, Mr., Stanish has a
show to turn a good deal this time.
Assayer Harris returned to camp
and settled down to business in his
Office after a vacation of several
weeks spent along the coast at Long
Beach. California.
