uncertain stream for transportation.
For months at a time no boats
could run on account of low water.
and the uncertainty of being able to
ship when market conditions were
right was very unsatisfactory. This
condition disheartcned many men,
When new conditions came with
transportation many new men came
into the field and it is a fact worthy
of note that the majority of mills
that have been in operation since
that time have made money. MANY
OF the early miners who could not
make it pay in those early davs and
who still own their properties are
drifting back with renewed interest
and are taking up their work again
with success
SPECULATION HURT THE FIELD
Speculation has also hurt the field
to some extent, also exaggerated
advertising In the early part Of
1900 speculation ran rife over the
district. Many worthless proper
ties were heavily stocked and the
stock sold with no other idea than
to. mlnc the stockholders pocket
books Exaggerated reports were
sent out Such terms as "moun-
tains of zinc in the North Arkansas
field were used as a lure The fact
OF the matter is that there are no
mountains of zinc in North Arkan-
saS The North Arkansas field has
many rich deposits Of zinc ore, but
no mountains Of zinc, These things
all tended to reflect on the real value
of the field and kept away real min
ing men who would have been a
great factor in its development if the
proper methods were used to get
them interested Transportation is
close at hand now and mining can
be done with a certainty where for
merlyit was very haphazard in
dustry,
MANY MINERS ENTER FIELD.
The past year has seen many Iop-
lin miners drift into the field Not
operators, but miners who have
taken Jobs at many Of the mines in
the field, In interviews with many
of these men who have grown up
with the south Missouri field say
the North Arkansas district would
would be fully as good as the Joplin
if it was developed, and that the
