MINING NOTES

State Geologist ] 7 Fuller
who is finding much to interest hlm
in the zinc mines of this section Just
now, was visitor at the TIMES
Office Tuesday.
| II. Allison, of near Maumec, last
week sold 100 acres of zinc land on
Buffalo river near the NJ a Il nj c
mines, to Harry Churchill Of Pang,
burn for $4,000. /
{ Messrs. Homer Pierce and Jettery
Dixon, of Harrison, have leased 40
acres of the Milum tract OF land two
miles south of Pyatt, from the Potts
Bros. Mr.. Dixon will have active
charge of the property.
NJ l. CIute, of Pindall, who was a
Harrison visitor Thursday, SAYS the
Buffalo river hills are teeming with
miners and prospectors, aud some
fine looking prospects are being un'
covered ia the vicinity of his town.
Several mining men in the vicinity
ofZinc are advocating the erection
of custom mill at that place. They
say that 10O.ton mill can easily
be built for Sis, 900, and that it will
pay the owners handsomely for their
investment,
A great strike Of ore was made at
the Morning Star last week A
round Of shots were put of IN the
bottom Of the Drift to start taking
up a stope and broke into a bed Of
almost free jack, which had been
passed over while mining carbonate
At the rate ore is being delivered
something like three cars will arrive
from the mines to the station here
tor shipment this week, and some.
thing ike the same quantity will
likely be taken to Buffalo, while
Zinc and Gilbert will also receive
like quantities for shipment. Mar

North Arkansas presents a field in
zinc and lead mining which has no
equal on earth for quantity Of ore
quality aud accessibility at almost
nominal cost. Hence, we dare to
assert that among those who com.
mand sufficient capital to operate
with--0nd no country on earth re-
Quircs less and who use Judgment
in selecting property and in It's man
there need be no failures.
Many Yeats ago when zinc was
first discovered ia this field, aud we
were miles away from railway
transportation, men who had idle
money were attracted this way aud
bought land as an investment aud
went away, and, but for the re.
minder once a year that taxes were
due they forgot it--they were wait.
ing for the time when tbeir holdings
would become valuable for the ore
bodies they contained That time
has come, and every day brings in q
mine owner who feels that now is
the time to realize on hisinyestmeut.

MIDSUMMER RACES.
Two Days Ont Of the Three Gave Excellent
Race Programs -Rain.Out on Friday.

The three-dav race meet, under the
auspices of the Boone County Fair,
last Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, drew large crowds, especially
on Saturday, and were pronounced
by race experts as highly satisfac-
tory events of their character. A
severe rainstorm on Friday made
necessary the calling off of all races,
but a double program Saturday
gave opportunity for horses in all
classes to try their speed.
1t had not been expected by the
management that the midsummer
races would be profitable to the AS
sociation-and they we're not, but
the interest evinced by all classes
and the satisfaction expressed lead
to the conclusion that the idea of
good horses has been expanded
amongst our farmers and stockmen
and that the prospect for the fall
Fair has been frightened in every
way.

 We have in our possession a sample of bale ginned in 1852. This cotton was picked by slave labor, ginned and placed in ventilated barn and kept there for a number of years. At the death of the owner it was placed in a local warehouse in South Carolina by the son of the raiser, and has been held by him largely out of sentiment to his fathers memory.
 We are very anxious to find older bales if they exist, and if you have or know of bales that was ginned prior to 1862, it would be of very great interest to the cotton world to know of it, to know when it was ginned. whether cultivated by slave labor, why it was held and such other details as would be of interest to the general public.
