TER COUNTY.
TESTS ARE BEING MADE

Houston, Miss, Make Find While
Prospecting Zinc Lands They Are
Preparing To Develop.

made while Mr. Mathews was pros

neled into a mountain and blasted for
ore, the oil appeared in rocky crew

ham for anlysis and another test was
made in Memphis. The flow appear
ed on a tract of $50 acres, which is

key Mountain property near Buffalo,

says 4O.S9 per cent metallic zinc. The
mill will be located only 210O feet
