HARRIsoN's NEW WATER SYSTEM
II Is Proving Itself to Be Profitable
Along Several Lines as We'll
as Efficient

Mr.. Murphy, chief of Arkansas Ac-
tuarial Bureau, was in Harrison Mon
day inspecting the fire protection
equipment and water works. -{
AS result of his inspection Har-
rison takes a class c rating (having
been in class F. and a corresponding
reduction in rates will be made short
ly. a.
Mr.. Murphy complimented the city
and commission on the installation
and equipment, and his action in clas-
sification shows that the water sys-
TEN meets the requirements. r..
From the time the old system was
taken over by the city its operations
have never failed to make net profit
monthly. The last months margin
was close to 5000. ..... . ..sa
The old system returned net to the
city, over and above operating ex-
pense, nearly ~ per cent OF cost IN
the first six months-it was then in
corporated in the new system and is
being gradually taken up and used
for extension to the new system in
the outskirts of the city. ..... eu.
Based on existing rates and classi-
fications the reduction in insurance
premiums in Harrison will be approx.
mately one-third. ...-.. ..-. -"l
1t should be remembered that the
fire protection of "a fire plugs would
cost the city at least $500 per month
if the plant were privately owned-so
that the saving of 5000 and the profits
of 5000 would really represent net
'cf $500 as money saved the citizens
monthly. .

layed the jack, but now they have in
stalled two tables and will be able to
save the ore by using the tables. This
is a high grade OF jack and will no
doubt improve the earnings Of the
mine greatly. Since taking charge Of
the mine Mr., Spangler has completed
flume and removed the pipe and
pump that they were using To obtain
water The flume gives them a large
supply Of water and they will be able to
run the mill steadily from now on.
They were forced to close down quite
a good deal owing to shortage of wat
er last fall, but this has been over
come and with the other many
changes made the mine should be a
regular producer from now on. They
have around 100 tons OF ore on the
dock at Pindall ready to ship out
Mr.. Russell, superintendent of the
Big Hurricane. has recently installed
a large boom with buckets for the re-
moving of the top or waste dirt from
the open pit and in this manner saves
the extra handle OF the waste dirt
through the mill He has also removed
one of the tables from the old mill
and placed the table to work over the
sludge that comes from the Ball mill,
and in so doing recovered two tons of
ore the first two days it was in opera
ton and he now contemplates placing
several tables to work over the tail
ings that have been saved from the
Ball mill as they show enough ore to
pay for the re-working of them. I'm
der the management Of Mr. Russell
this property has improved in tonnage
greatly and while he has several 9th
er matters that he is now figuring on
that will help increase the output, he
reports that he has found that the
tables in the Ball mill we're not recov-
ering tha ore close enough and has
made arrangements to install a new
ripple on the tables, having tried out
the ripple on one of the tables and
found it successful and a big improve
ment over the old ripples. This inven-
ton or idea originated with one of
the employees of the mill and no doubt
will prove big success in the near
future Things in general at the plant
looked exceedingly fine; ore bins full
can be loaded up and everything
and teams hauling as fast as they
around the mill is going fine, all tend
ing to show that Arkansas has one of
the best producers of zinc to be found
any place. ....
McDougal, Thompson and asso-
ciates, who have just commenced
sinking shaft on a lease recently
obtained on the Roots land near the
Spear mine, report that they have
struck a run of jack at a depth of Is
feet, Not having it assayed as yet
we cannot say just what percentage
it will run.

PONCA DISTRICT, NEWTON
COUNTY

Kilgore, Minicus and Villines, and
Hamilton and Young, working leases
on the Baker lands, report that they
are taking out fine free lead. This
land seems to be underlaid with an
awfully heavy run of lead and carbon
ate and all mines on the tract are
making good turn-ins
Primrose and Son have out three
cars of zinc carbonate and have com.
menced to haul the ore to Pettigrew.
Cook and Mccoy, sub.leasing from
Primrose, have out two cars of car
Donate and will haul the ore to Petit
grew. This means that Harrison is
going to lose these shipments as it all
came to Harrison heretofore.
The Harrison times., 1917-07-21

Reserves amounting to possibly B..
100000 pounds are accounted for at a
number of mines, where operators are
selling only enough to meet current
expenses and holding for a better price
which all feel is sure to come es.
pecially on carbonate ore Of high
grade, in which this field leads all
others. At two mines in the field can
now be accounted for more than 1000
tons thus held back while the same
disposition is manifest to a less ex.
tent at many other mines,
BY reason Of scarcity OF labor, pros.
pect and development operations dur
ing the past four months have been
greatly curtailed, while some mines
were for the same reason forced to
operate with short crews and were
badly handicapped in getting sufficient
teams to deliver ore and supplies.
This condition Is now being relieved
az demands Of crop and harvest work
have about passed. ~ ~ssa >.

Cook and Mccoy have hauled into
Harrison about seven tons of carbon

and report that they have struck a
fine vein of carbonate
Arch Harris and associates have out
a car of free carbonate and will ship
out this week. This mine is located
two miles from Harrison on Crooked
creek and adjoins the Harrison Min
ing Company mine which is running
one shift per day and making good
turn-ins. They have a fine run of
jack which is of high grade.

Rochester, May 10. - The Newark
Bears swung back into their winning
stride this afternoon and walloped
the Broncos by the good round score
Of TO >. Taking the lead at the start
Of the game. Needham's men suffered
the home team to draw up on even
terms in the fourth inning. That tie
was broken, smashed to flinders, in the
lucky seventh, when the Bears fell on
Al Schacht for a cluster of nits that
produced three runs. A similar erup-
ton OF hits in the ninth, these off the
delivery of Styker, gave three more
runs.
II was not for the lack Of hits that
the Broncos scored only two runs.
They got together and made eleven safe
drives off Smallwood, but to save them
they could not bunch their safeties so
as TO get runs over the plate. Jose
Rodriguez got a pair of singles, while
Kirby got three.
Although half dozen fielding errors
were thrown in TO make the game more
interesting, there were the brilliant
moments, too. Kirby, centre felder Of
the Broncos, made couple of hair
raising captures, while Haas, left
fielder of Newark, killed off couple
Of sure triples.
