CADDO GAPS SPRINGS.
The Government Taking Official Notice Of Their Existence In Montgomery
 County.

Caddo, Gap. Sept. lS.-An Offic- CT 0: the United States govern mont was here today and isnpee { ed the hot springs recently dis covered. He expressed his belief that an unlimited supply of hot water is available
 It is not known whether the springs are on government land or deeded land and he posted not ices proclaiming the govern ment's rights and said the land lines would soon be established by a government surveyor.
 It now appears the springs were discovered last February by J. M. Davis, mining pros pector. He noticed the peculiar Formation of the rocks and late at night fired shot of dynamite which uplifted the capstone and disclosed the hot water.
 Further search revealed num- erous springs of hot water. He carefully concealed his find with brush and stones till he could file a claim on the land.
 He also claims to have discov- cred rich deposits of gold silver and other metals near the springs and people are disposed
 ot believe him. Many theories are advanced in regard to these hot springs. Old men who have walked over them a thousand tmes say that the tremendous blasting in the gap during the construction of the railroad shook the strata Of rocks apart and caused the hot water to come forth. Others say the hot water ha sbeen there unnoticed forever and day.
 Only one thing is certain and that is the hot springs and pien- ty of them are here. Ptople from far and near visit them daily and drink the water

CAMDEN's PACKET LINE
1h, Merchants There Purchase Half h.
 terest.In a Ouachita River Boat.
Ouachita Herald.

-Ouachita Herald.
 One of the best enterprises for inc upbuilding of our city has just been consumated. It means that Camden will have a fnll half interest in the Steamer Handy, which will make regular trips from this place to Monroe
 and there connect with the Par
 ker line for New Orleans.
 A stock company has been formed and all the money sub
 scribed by which a half interest in the Handy will be purchased from the Monroe Navigation Go. This boat was built at a cost of $l1,0O0 four years ago. The val nation now placed on it is $7, ,000. The Handy is now on her way to New Orleans where she will go into dry dock and about $2,000 will be expended on thebOat in the way of repairs and preparation for the new service. She will be ready for business by the time sufficient stage of water ar. rives to enable her to reach Cam den.
 There several reasons why the business men of Camden took this step. One is that notwith- standing the repeated efforts made by the Board of Trade, no satisfactory freight rate could be procured that would put the merchants of Camden on an even basis with those of Pine Bluff and TeXarl.ana. It is intended that this boat will compel the railroads to fix a satisfactory tariff to Camden or lose large volume of the business from this point.
 Another reason is that unless Camden shows some intention of making use of the river, the pre-. sumption is that the government would be slow in ordering the
