ed ore Several carloads of carbonate
ore have been shipped from the field.
This is reported to have paid fairly
well. one or two carloads of sulphide
ore have been shipped but the re-
suits could not be learned.
In comparison with ores mined at
Joplin, Miami and other noted zinc
mining centers Of the country, the
Arbuckle MouStain ore shows up
fairly well. Tfat is to say, ore which
runs as low as per cent has been
mined and miled at a profit at Miami
and Joplin.
The fact should be taken INTO con-
sidoratlon, however, much of the ore
in the Davis field is very finely DIS
seminated that is, It occurs in very
small crystals, which fact renders 1t
more difficult to extract profltably.
1t is still an open question whether
or not the present method Of the me.
chanical extraction Of zinc ores will
take out a sufficient amount Of tho
der mining profitable.
If the problem of separating the
finer ore can be successfully over
come, mining and milling should be
carried on very choaply, as the ore
can be worked by quarry methods
Fuel is an important consideration as
there is little timber in the region
and coal must be hauled from Davis
a distance Of seven miles, three miles
Of which are over rough hilly roads
The conrentrates must Of course be
hauled the same distance TO the rail-
road, The question Of sufficient wa
ter supply to run the mills Is very
important although a well now being

limits Of the productive field ana
depth Of the ore must be worked out
by bore drilling, before any estimate
can be made as to the amount Of orc
available in the field and many
more analyses are necessary before
the average zinc content Of the ore
can be determined.
This report must be considered as
only preliminary. 1t Is expected that
within the next few months, large

The father then explained to the
boy that he must provide such cx-

And he arranged to give the boy an

been persistent rumors to the effect
that yarous mctalliforous minerals,
including lead and zlnc occur In pay
ing quantities in the Arbuckle Noun

published but one brief rcpor, ON the
matter In this report, which may
he found on pages 90 and o. Of Bull
letin No, 6 of the survey no opinion
was expressed as to the present or
prospective value of the field, Any
statement to the effect that the d.
rector or other member Of the survey
staff has expressed an opinion, other
than this regarding the matter must
De regarded as false.
During the past few months there
has been considerable excitement in
the region west of Davis, and many
glowing reports have emanatcd from
this place to the effect that a large
quantity of lead and zinc has been
found there. Considerable amounts
of money have already been invested
within this region, and 1t is quite
possible that within the next few
months more extensive development
will be undertaken. For this reason
It has been thought best TO issue this
preliminary statement OF conditions,
as they are now understood by the
survey.
During the month Of July Mr.. L.

parties Of the survey, visited this re-
Eion and collected a number OF sam

Samples were taken from the surface

for milling, ana in one case a sam

A Germ Growing State.

The work OF converting North
Carolina into a great corn growing
State has been fairly launched
through the medium of the boys
corn clubs. The report of Director
Parker shows that the farmers of
this state have never known what
they could do in the way Of raising
corn. The average production per
acre for the fifty prize winners of
these corn club boys, was 1862
bushels. One Of them raised as high
as 235 IL bushels. There seems to
be no doubt about this latter record
for Mr.. Parker says: 'The yield
was so large / took the precaution
to send down and have the corn re-
weighed about a month after it was
first measured. This was done in
the presence Of several witnesses.
It was found that after the corn had
dried out there was still 1858 7
bushels of corn that tested by analy-
sis 1921 degrees moisture. regard
this the largest crop OF corn ever
grown OF an acre Of land in this ol
anv other State The indications
are that next year we shall see won
ders in corn growing in North Caro-

Radlam Rays.

The earth travels in its orbit round
the sun 10 miles a second. The sun
itself, like all. the other stars, has
it's own proper motion through
space. Some authorities have cal
culated it's speed at II miles sec
ond. A few stars move more slowly
than this, others much mere rapidly.
Arcturus maintains a speed OF not
less than 100 miles a second, and the
star called "Groombridge 1897
travels $50 miles in the same brief
time.
But the speeds Of the heavenly
bodies are slow compared with the
motions of the tiniest known par
ticles of matter. The sun would
seem to stand still could we compare
it's velocity with that of the radlun
"rays." These radiations are pro-
duced by successive explosions OF
tinv groups of the tiny atoms OF
radium. The "alpha rays being
themselves infnitesimal fragments
of matter, are thrown out while a
velocity of perhaps $4,000 miles
second. The "beta rays trave
still faster.
In the emanations of this wonder
