BIG mine OPERATOR
WILL ENTER COUNTY
J. c. Shepherd of Rush District
Will Begin Operations at
Cushman Soon

J. c. Shepherd of Rush, the
largest producer of zinc ore in
Arkansas, will start mining
manganese ore in the Indepen-
dence field, early this spring,
having already made arrange
ments to begin operations. He
will continue his zinc mining
operations in the Rush field,
however, producing both kinds
or ore.
Manganese ore, at this time
is one of the scarcest ores in
the United States and ferro-
manganese, the metal which it
produces is absolutely neces-
sary in the manufacture of
steel. Formerly a vast tonnage
of this ore was imported from
Russia and Brazil This inn
port has been cut off by the
war, and the government at
this time is using every effort
to locate new sources of sup
ply in this country and to in
crease the output of fields al
ready in a stage of produc-
ton.
Mr.. Shepherds entrance into
the field in this county will
probably agument the produc-
ton of the field considerably.
He entered the North Arkan-
sas Zinc Field five years ago,
coming from Old Mexico,
where he had mined all his life
He was forced out by the rev.
olution and started operations
here on shoestring, beginning
in very limited way without
capital and has run his produc-
ton up a few tons month
to a production last year of
$500 tons, or two-fifths of all
the zinc ore that was produced
in the state. His operations

YECCS MAKE SECOND
ROBBERY AT MACNESS
Miller & CO, Post Office and
Tom Jones' Store Robbed
Tuesday Night

Robbers made secon sue
cessful visit to the store of A.
F. Miller & Co., at Magness
Tuesday night and secured
$119.50.
The safe in T. j Jones store
was blown and robbed also.
The robbers got SCI from Mr..
Jones safe.
The robbery is supposed to
have occurred about 2 o'clock
Wednesday morning. 1t is
said that four men got off the
Red Ball freight at the grade
near Magness Tuesday night,
but their identity is. not known.
After cracking the two safes
the robbers made their get
away on hand car stolen from
the section house near Mag
ness. They ran the hand car
to Black river and ran it into
the river and it is reported that
they were seen walking back
toward Newark along the rail-
road track. No clue has de-
veloped, however to throw any
light upon the situation.
Of the money stolen from
Miller and Company's safe,
where the postoffice is loeat-
ed, S94.50 was postal and mon
ey order funds and $25 be-
longed to Miller & Co.
The next morning, after the
robbery, the county scrip stol-
en- from Miller & Co., few
they were robbed some time
ago, was found lying on the
floor, from which it seems that
Tuesday nights robbery was
committed by the same parties
who robbed Miller & Co, a few
weeks ago.

capacity. He stands, as he has
always stood, for the masses as
against the classes, for justice
and right, as against wrong and
might.
He is lifetime democrat,
and his candidacy is subject to
the Democratic primary next
May.
Mr.. Hodges is a man of I'M
common pleasing address, affa-
BILE at all times, but strong and
imphatic in his denunciation OF
anything that smacks of graft
and oppression to the masses
of the people.
The five cardinal issues of
his platform as stated by Mr..
Hodges himself are as follows:
Il favor national aid for
good roads.
"a bank guaranty law to
protect the depositors.
81 favor forever abolishing
specializing and gambling in
soodstuffs.
81 stand unequivocably for a
free press and free speech.
Il believe in electing to Con-
gress, teachers, farmers, edit
ors, business men and doctors,
so that all classes will be rep
resented, and not all lawyers,
as they are now.

Colonel Fears He Will
Be Offered Place.

Washington, D. c., May 1s.-Now
that Justice Hughes has been named
by the president to handle the air.
craft investigation and former Pres
iGcnt Taft is busy under an appoint
ment by the president in wage COM
mission matters, some of the friends OF
the president are counseling that 1t
would be q master stroke to appoint
Col. Theodore Roosevelt to a conspic-
uous post where he would have an &C
tive part in war work.
Thus far 1t cannot be said there is
any visible sign the president intends
t. do this.
Nevertheless it Is known many of the
friends Of the administration would like
to see it done, in fact think it should
have been done before now. Their
reasons are not entirely those of high
admiration for the c%oionel's indefatig-
able energy asa war worker. They adj
nit that the Colonel would thus be put
i'll q position where he either could not
criticise or where the sting Of his crit
icisms would be drawn.
Another morse1 which Is on the
tongue Of gossip here is that the
Colonel realizes that he might be put
in a position where he could not speak
his mind freely by such a nov as the
president a made in the case Of
Hughes and Taft and that he is not
entirely without apprehension over it,
feeling that he car do the country q
good service by setting forth what he
believes the shortcomings Of the war
