Belief that the Supreme Court will decide the suit to have interpreted the consolidation of elections law be- fore February 29, the last date for dis trict and state candidates to file thelr pledges, grew when the court ad- vanced the case and set it for submis- sion January 8. The wording of the law is such that circuit judges, chan cellors, state senators and Supreme Court judges whose terms expire prior to the general election of 1918 would have to be nominated in the next Dem- ocratic primary in order to be candi- dates to succeed themselves. Suit was filed Tn the Pulaski Circuit Court to test the case. The suit seeks a mandamus to compel Secretary of State Earle W. Hodges to accept the campaign pledge of Judge G. w. Hen dricks, one of those atIected by the new law. The lower court held that Judge Hendricks need not be nomi- mated in the March primary to run in 1918.

LEASES TAKEN ON 32O ACRES

DeQueen.

DeQueen.- .-
 After more than a quarter of a cen tury of prospecting, terminating every few years in mining of more or less desultory nature, every indication now points to rapid development of the extensive mineral territory lying in the northern part of this (Sevier) county, said by geologists and mining experts to be one of the richest i'll America in antimony deposits, which, if properly developed, would bring immense wealth to this section of the state
 Lately leases have been taken on 320 acres of land, two miles south west of King Spur by the American Steel Company of Columbus, Ohio, rep resented by c. M. Fenton of Joplin, Mo-, president and chief stockholder in the concern. Upward of $5,000 worth of mining machinery and equip ment, such as hoists, pumps and rig ging, have been located on one of the leases. Thirty experienced miners from the Joplin district are at present engaged in installing the machinery at an old shaft operated several years ago by the Little Valley Mining Com pany. The shaft was abandoned six years ago by the Little Valley concern at depth of 100 feet on account of not having sufficient pumping macnin- cry to keep the workings clear of water. It is said that before ceasing activities at the shaft the miners To- cated an unusually rich ledge of anti mony, but were unable to mine 1t on account of water.

Nine months time has changed this place from sleepy little village into a seething turmoil of activity and has set a record for growth that was not much surpassed in the balmy 0ays of the West when mining camps sprung up over night. In the West then # was placer gold. Down here amid the Rush creek and Buffalo mountains it is placer zinc. During the past nine months this place has grown in area. until now the camp is approximately four miles wide and six miles long, with suburbs that reach from the White River division of the Iron Noun tain and Southern railroad in the east to the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad on the west. It is the largest unincorporated city in the state
 Barring the natural beauty that na~ ture has given to the set in5 of the camp in the way of rugged mountains, towering palisades along the Buff slo river and Rush creek, and wild, tu- multuous, clear water creeks, Rush is not esthetically beautiful It is a city of tents The rag city of the Arkan- sas Ozarks, with the largest weekly income of any city of it's size in the state. It is a community of palatial rag mansions, rag tenements and mod est rag bungalows.
 Previous to this year Rush slept in languid lethargy for two score years and ten, the barometer of population never rising over the 100 mark. Nine months ago it began to sprout like mushroom and has grown so amazing ly rapid that the barometer of popula- tion points to slightly over the 1000 mark and is still going up. Fewer tents are being raised, however, as habitations for it's incoming popula- tion. Houses are going up, lumbef IS at premium and the mushroom stage is petrifying.
