ELEVENTH HOUR A RICH
NORTH ARKANSAS MINE.
n. J. Vaneil, Manager and Part
Owner, In Joplin Monday and
Sold Lot OF Ore.
lLOplin News.Heraldl.

lJOpLu NeWS'ftefdlQ.)
II. j. Vancil, general manager and
chief owner Of the Eleventh Hour
Mining Company, situated in Newton
County, Arkansas, twenty-eight miles
west Of Harrison, was in Joplin Mon
day and sold a carload OF silicate and
several tons of lead ore that were pro-
duced from his rich property
The Eleventh Hour mine is one of
the richest in North Arkansas, ore be-
ing found from the very grass roots
down to the 146.foot level This com.
pany has 300 acres of land under lease
with a considerable portion of it sub.
leased to small prospecting companies.
According to Mr. Vancil there are
eighteen shafts besides several open
cuts and tunnels in the hillsides.
The carbonate of zinc ore averages
from 40 to As per cent metallic con-
tent, while the lead is high grade,
averaging so to So per cent metallic
content
Where the ore is taken from shafts,
only horse holsters or windlasses are
used, chiefly the hand hoists. All that's
needed to make a successful pros
pector, is a pick and shovel and plenty
of determination to get out the ore.
There is plenty of the ore available
and in some places, according to Mr.,
Vancil, it is almost like shoveling out
an ore bin.
Mr.. Vancil also has property six
miles east of Harrison in Boone coun-
ty. The lease consists of 200 acres,
with ore being found from the grass
roots down to a level yet unknown.
Most of this lease has been subleased,
and six or eight shafts have been put
down into the ore.
A drill rig is to be put in operation
next week to determine the depth OF
the ore and the richness of the deeper
level Associated with Mr.. Vancil in
this mine are Max Peters of Harrison
and Harry Reeder of Joplin.
Mr.. Vancil acquired this property
about three months ago. 1t is in vir-
gin ground and quite a distance from
any other camp in Boone county. 1t
is believed that it will be developed
into big proposition.
J. H. Roy of Harrison and Mr.. Van
ell have 600 acres of land south of Har-
rison, on which they are to start a
drilling campaign within the near fu-
ture. No strike so far has been made
on this property, but it is believed ore
will be found at comparatively shall
low depth.
Mr.. Vancil has no mill on any of
his leases, most of the coarse ore be
ing marketable as it is removed from
the ground, The fine dirt is hand
jigged. News-Herald.

And warmth from smouldering

Steal forth as if from heart and brain
brain
'Twould make and give to birth
A hoard OF thoughts from Memory's
hold
Like secrets kept for you-untold.
The reckless speed, the very sound
OF horsemen passing by,
The bark of dog-like answer brief
In hurried startled cry
Seem out of tune-till moon comes up
And hangs DER all-"like silver cup"
Mayhap the moon my reverie crowned
AS through my soul the sweep
OF glad new thoughts | fitting found,
For you in Memory'S keep;
A measure which-is wholly thine
That Friendship lays upon your shrine.
] knew you when the tenderest thought
Enwrapt your childhood's home
When paths were mapped for little
feet
Where Love would have them roam,
When all embracing faithful care
In "Wisdom's ways were yours to
share.
| knew you when in glad array
Well armed with books and slate
You hurried on to school, your goal,
Lest lettering made you late
And mar the powers of childish mind
Distinct in gifts of woman-klnd.
I've seen you, daughter OF the home,
Where guests uncOunted knew
The opening door your greating
brought
To many-not the few;
Was welcome borne in good intent
That spring from Love divinely sent.
I've marked the gentleness and zest
With which you gathered hosts;
OF friendly hearts, the worthy, coed,
Made happier by your boasts
That ministries of Love to you
Hath given Life a roster hue.
I've seen you when your fingers def
Reused music to your will
And like a tide from unseen depths
There seemed imprisoned still
In tones of Sorrow, Hopes and Fears,
That came to me from other years.
But "Woman's lot" is on you dear
When every gift of thine
Is merged in Loves supreme desire
Like flow of Song and Wine"
When pleasure fraught with Nuptial
rite
Will lure you with it's new delight.
While he, your Husband, Guardian
friend,
Receives your souls full tide
OF Love and Trust, a boon to prize,
BY him what ere betide-
AS he, with manhood's strength and
will
Will guard you ere from future ILL.,
Now as you go to ways untried
May purpose rich mature"
Grasp every joy that will be thine
With Hopes you'd have endure,
Till shielded safe beyond our ken
By Him who guides the souls Of
