belt SXtending west p miles from Black Rock, Ark, is now being thor oughly surveyed and prospected. This belt compares very favorably with the rich Joplin, Mo-, district, and in pur- ity of metal greatly exceeds most of that rich district. The first prospect ing on this vein was done at Smith vile, Ar k., country town about 25 miles south of Imboden. The Lin- coin Mining and Milling Association found this such -- valuable property that they soon put in a crusher and mill at Smithville, and are securing very fine results.
 The next find was at Calamine, an- other country town about p miles southwest of Imboden. This was also found to be very rich and was found by competent chemists to be S6 per cent pure. A company backed by Eastern capital was soon organized and this company is finding even greater encouragement than the first. 5 A mill with daily capacity of 200 tons has just been received and will Ssoon be in operation.
 q This company is at the present Manning Strawberry river at a point ebout seven miles from the scene of Operation, which will give them more han 800 horse power. This power #Eill give them more than enough lower to run their machinery, and it IS now their intention to run an cleo fic road from Imboden to Calamine, hus opening a region rich in miner Fl and timber lands. The dam is al- 28ost complete, and the mill will be @stalled as soon as possible. These sGompanies are working along conser 1tive lines, and expect to make Law Rnce county within the next few Xears one of the richest lead and k regions.
 HNMNsample of ore-bearinS rock that yMN3r'3lly attracted the attention of
 gal experts and which took first Fl .g at the St. Louis Exposition was tN3nd on a farm in Lawrence county, Mkansas, about seven miles from m boden. This property, which cov- G3 about 296 acres, is now the prop exty ot the Paymaster Zinc Con- Mhy. Mining experts have exam nd this property and say that it is me of the richest zine deposits they laNe ever seen. In all this zinc re- a0h the ore is on the surface and veins can be easily followed. The I'll of mining will be very small as 3pared with the mining of de- its ore deeply imbededd. This
 bany has placed 350,000 shares N8he market and they are being
 krly sought after by men who
 seen the property and who HE money for safe investment.
