The biggest deal yet consum'
mated in the Mansfield mining
district took place last week
when the Mansfield Mining d
Development Company pur-
chased 1912 acres of mining land
known as the Dodson land. The
company had leased the land
with an option to purchase the
same, and the fact that after
having had an opportunity to
form an opinion as to the value
of the land for mining purposes,
they exercised the right confer
red upon them by the option,
and bought the same, speaks
volumes for their faith in this
district as an ore producer.
This purchase was made upon
the advice of expert mining en-
gineers, and the company is
financed to develop the land for
al there is in it. Besides this
land the company has several
thousand acres more leased, and
the work done has brought forth
splendid showings of ore-none
better have been made. Three
new drills have been purchased
by the company recently, and
one is now in operation on the
Dodson land. The new drills
will be located on the S. w. Nc
Naul land.
j. r. Sandage, mining engin'
eer and field manager of this
company, says he has never
seen ore assembled as it is in
this district. He declares there
is undoubtedly mother vein or
a main body somewhere in these
Ozark hills. He is man who is
very uncom municative, but when
you get him on his nettles he
says, its here!" lie has spent
many years delving into the
bowels of the earth. using his
spare time in the study of min
eralology and metalIurgy and is a
very interesting conversational
ist. He says the company is on
the trail for the largest body OF
ore in the United States. Gov
ernment geologists say the same
look up the reports and see
The mining activities here mean
more than many yet imagine
and the great interest shown in
this field should surely tel
whether the sought for treasure
Is here or not.
About year ago the Mansti

of activity. 1t appears that A

had the nerve to back his enthu
siasm with actual development

possessed. 1t may be said tina
for half a century many of th'
people thought there was grea
future for this re 'on as a min
ing district, but nobody took th'
initiative with Mr.. Friend, ven

have been the means of openin,

July Is, so that is travelling quite well.
You wrote of having cold weather in
June. 1t was rather cool here, but there
was certainly no frost and now it is
much warmer. 1t is a queer climate, for
nights one nearly freezes and during the
day it is too hot to stay in the tent
We sleep in tents made of tarpaulin.
Well, ! suppose you are getting quite
an army over there now. Things, by
yesterdays papers, show that the Boche
is not faring as well as he might like.
There has not been much excitement,
only Boche aeroplane comes over every
day and the French shell him. One of
the shells came down and broke a piece
off from my truck, but did not explode.
1t bent large iron so that it nearly
broke. 1t was travelling right along. j
guess there is more danger from the
French shrapnel than from the Boche's
bomb, for whatever goes up must come
down.
