OLOT|MER MAKES R|CH STRIKE ON
 PLACER CREEK

Upon his return from a trip to his mining ground, up Resurrection River, MT. John Du Breuil was inter- viewed by a representative of the Gateway, which gain ed the following facts from the fortunate miner:
 MT. Du Breuil's placer mining property is located on what is known as Placer river, which enters Resurrec tion River from the right limit about IS miles from Seward.
 During the past winter Du Breuil caused to be driven on his property an IS foot tun- nel and a 66 foot raise, at the falls of Placer River, which tunnel picks up the water at the top of the falls and leaves the creek bed dry for development purposes.
 At this point sluicing was commenced on a small scale, where a substantial quantity of placer gold was recovered.
 Being an old miner, MT. Du Breuil exhibited no due excitement over the pros poets, but sight of large sam pies of the gold recovered and a description of the To- cality and probabilities has certainly put a certain 'pep" in the enthusiasm of the Gateway representative.
 The gold is coarse and very dark; showing some ruby sand and black iron.
 The ground pays from bed rock up six feet, bed rock consisting of a black hard clay or hard pan about 22 inches thick.
 The locality as described and diagramed, discloses an ideal hydraulic proposition, though MT. Du Breuips dis closures of results would in- dicate a most feasible hand mining proposition as well.
 This is just one more in- stance of the fact, which the Gateway has advocated that "wealth centers at our own door and not in the far dis tant localities
 Shortly before the acquisi- tiOn of the Territory by the United States government, the Russians had discovered placer gold in interesting quantities on the high ridges of Resurrection River on the right limit, but owing to the change in ownership and re- sulting circumstances, the prospecting in this locality was discontinued. Following down to our day, there has ever been a whispering amongst the out-ofdoor men like unto a legend that plac- CT gold was found by the Rus sians on the high reaches of : Resurrection river. Now, again has been brought back to us, in reality the realiza- tion of a labor not lost.

Prominent Visitors Inspect
 Local Potato House

Messrs. McCulley and Wheelis. of Warren, the former the manager of the Warren Chamber of Commerce, were visitors to Ashdown Tuesday, coming here from Texarkana. These gentlemen were out on tour of in- spection of potato curing houses in this section of the state, and expressed themselves as being more favorably impressed with the construction of the Ashdown curing plant than with any they had visited. MT. McCulley stated that they visited all the plants at Tex arkana, and that the Ashdown plant came nearer being what they consid- cred an ideal plant than any they had examined. and congratulated the town upon having such a progressive spirit and predicted that within few years the potato business would expand to such an extent that it would be .neces- sary, to, have two or three houses the size of the present one to take care of the product, and that the income from this source alone woule equal what the farmer formerly realized from his cotton crop with only one-third the acreage and about e-fourth the labor. -
 Chas. H. Park, manager of the cur ing house, Geo., M. Johnston, county agent and Lon, T. Jones, secretary of the, local Chamber of Commerce, ,ac- companied the visitors and gave them what information they wanted as to construction, expense and manage mert of the local plant

Secretary of Chamber of Commerce Now Working on Marketing Pro-

An effort is being made to interest some local parties in establishing a market for all the poultry and eggs that may be raised in the Ashdown territory. The secretary of the Cham- Der of Commerce has on file long list of reliable buyers located in St. Louis, Kansas City, New Orleans and Joplin, Mo-, and other points, and it is thought that in the near future regular sche- dule by truck will be started from Ashdown, and poultry raisers along the gravel roads will have an oppor- tunity to meet this truck at stated il1- tervals and deliver these products to the buyer and be paid in cash for them. This will undoubtedly prove "a paying business for Ashdown and the farmers adjacent to Ashdown as we'll
 Several farmers with a surplus of cream have already spoken for cans for shipping cream, and gradually the marketing end of the farmers products are being worked out, and within a few years the famer, who depends wholly upon cotton for his spending money will be few and far between.

N. 3. & 6, RAILROAD
 NOW FACING THE CRISIS
Federal Court Will Take Action To. ward Junking or Continuing the
 Road Next Week.

Nashville, April 27.-The Memphis Dallas and Gulf Railroad now faces crlsls in it's operation and maintenance and 1t is now only matter of few days until it's immediate future will be determined.
 The crisis is brought about by the apphaatlon Of Receiver Martin Walsh TOT permission ot the court to reduce the wages of the employees of the road 70 per cent from the present scale. ne various brotherhoods have an- nounced their intention to fight the re- ouctlon of wages ana have also an- nounced their intention to demand the payment of all back pay due them. which includes all back pay on. the awards of the labor board and the last half of last August. The application Will be made. before Judge .Youmans at Texarkana on next ,Weonesday. May 4, and the future of the road depends wholly upon the decision. Other rail- road companies have made it clear to the officials of the M.,, D. and G., that they will not purchase the road at any price because of it's condition.
 The Nashville Chamber or Commerce and commercial Organizations from other towns along the road will send delegations to TeXarkana to endeavor to prevent the order for the sale of the road being made at this time and thereby perhaps prevent the 1unkIng of the road.
 The Memphis, Dallas and Gulf Rail- road traverses some of the best coun- try in Southwest Arkansas and serves many thousands of people who have no other railroad connection, there be- ing several splendid towns along the road which have no other railroad con- nection The junking of the road would not only mean the loss of all the stockholders have put into it, but would also mean a great loss to the citizens of the country traversed by it. shutting off their only uu;iet jo the markets with their truck and cotton crops, and cutting off prosperity in many ways and setting the country back at least 20 years.
 The road at present is running at a net loss of approximately 5000 per month, and while there is no hope for immediate relief from the loss it is hoped that the road may be kept in operation until conditions become more normal, when it will be self sustaining and perhaps revenue pro- ducer.
 It is very probable that the Nash vile Chamber of Commerce will send a large delegation to the court to lend their support in an effort to pre- vent the junking of the road.

ARKANSAS BONDS ARE GOOD
Memphis Concern Inquires About the
 Arkansas Road Bonds.

Little Rock, April 29.-(SpeciaD - Attorney General Utley .s .n receipt of a letter of inquiry from bond com- pany at Nashville, Tenn., which holds considerable amount of bonds issued by various road districts or ArKansas, asking for information about the suits which have been brought to test the constitutionality of the laws under which the bonds were issued. Reply ing to his letter, General Utley says:
 "YCu need not have any fears about Arkansas securities as all laws, where any doubt at all existed, was tested Tn the Supreme Court before the bond issues were sold. Furthermore, there is no intention nor desire on the part of the people of this state to repud1ate the states obligations or to question the validity of bonds that have already been sold .=.
 "There has been considerable agi- tation over the question of road Dulid- ing but the issue has been limited to question of business methods in road construction During the recent ses- sion of the legislature a great many road district laws were repealed but greatest care was taken oy the leglsla- ture to see that no law was enacted which would bring into question the rights of innocent parties to valid con- tracts entered into before the passage of the laws.
 "The people of this state regret the misinterpretations and untruthful statements published in other sections of the country about road building conditions in this state,
