Lead And Zinc In fancy County.


Reconnaissance work carried on dur
ing the past year in the Ozark region
by the Missouri Geological Survey
has shown number of areas in which
lead and zinc occur. The results oil
this work are briefly outlined in the
biennial report of the State Geologist
just published.
In Taney county, the investigation
was restricted to mapping a well de-
fined fractured zone extending north
west from the Arkansas line across
Pine Mountain ridge to the Stone
county line north of White river in
Sec. IS, T. D., R. % w. This zone
which is locally known as the Ten
O'Clock" run, is well defined and is
well shown by small map accompany
ing the geologic description of the
area.
Where the surface rocks are not
covered by soil, this zone is marked
by dipping beds and brecciated areas.
The latter carry ores of both lead and
zinc; in fact at some points the zone
may be traced by the outcropping
boulders of carbonate of zinc.
The zone in which disturbance has
been noted has a width of from 400 to
900 feet. It's general nature near the
Silver Moon shaft in Sec. %, T. %, r
81 being described as followi:
A shallow cut normal to the strike
exposes two zones of brecciation sep
arated by a block of little disturbed
strata of IS feet, while the one to the
south of the intervening block has
width of three feet. Beyond the latter
the strata dips 100 S. $50 w. This
dip continues for about 200 yards, at
which point they obruptly resume
their former horizontal position. This
resumption of horizontal position is ac
companied by zone of brecciation
which is exposed for width of 10
feet. At this point, it is impossible 70
determine its exact width, due to
covering of residual materials
A number of shafts and test pits
have been sunk at various points,
chiefly east of Melva, and some lead
and zinc have been shipped from these
prospects. Although the district is
not active at present, the results OF
his development work indicate that
he lead and zinc ores occur chiefly in
he areas of most intense brecciati on
near the north wall. However, the
southern zone described above has not
been prospected and may be highly
Additional detailed geologic mapped
n this portion of Taney county will
show other structural features
llong which prospecting might be
carried on with profit. The recon-
,aissance work to date has not shown |
he northwest end of the zone, and in !
Ill probability it extends a consider
bile distance into Stone county.

Barney Frazier fooled Miss Kate Mat
Finger and got her to go over to Pafson
Norman's house in old Town."
After getting her over there among
strangers, he produced a marriage
license, and what else could Kate do
but say "yes," when the Parson asked
her if she wanted the Printer man, for,
there he was in bran new billed shirt
and nice clothes and she hated to dis
appoint him. They say Barney stood
the test well, and thought of all
sorts of "pi'' and that it was real
case" of the latest type" Barney
not only fooled Miss Kate into having
him, but he fooled a whole lot of
other people whe had been having a
guessing contest for some time.

host of friends of the bride and groom
and wishes them much happiness.

may small caps" always be in evil

SURRENDER ON THE NEXT DA,

Fifty years ago today. in the early
hours Of the morning. the shot that
opened the civil war was fired upon Fort
Sumter. In Charleston harbor. It fol-
lowed a parley between Maj. Anderson.
who was In command of the fort, and
Gen. G. T. Beauregard, who was acting
under the direction Of L. P. Walker, who
signed himself Secretary of War.
Gen. Beauregard had arranged to de-
mand the evacuation Of the fort at noon.
April II, 1861. Mr.. Walker urged an
earlier demand. Gen. Beauregard an
swered that the reasons were special for
making the demand at II o'clock am.
The demand was not actually made until
2 o'clock pm, April IL. when 1t was
courteously declined. 1t Is said Maj. An
derson intimated that the garrison would
be starved out in a few days. He was
waiting for relief from the federal gov
eminent, but it had failed to arrive.
He was then asked not to take part in
case the Federal authorities tried to re-
lieve the fort That also he declined.
The bomba rdment then began at o. clock
in the morning of April IL and continued
until 1 80 pm. April IL, when. after two
magazine explosions, a fire which envel-
oped the barracks. and with great gaping
holes in its walls the fort was surren-
