MICA STRIKE MAY PROVE TO
 BE VALUABLE

The mica or glitterins substance recently encountered in the Preston Oil & Gas Company's test oil we'll, northwest of ParagOuld, may yet prove to be valuable as commercial product, according to an opinion ex- pressed in letter from R. B. Moore, chief mineral technologist, of Wash ington. MT. Moore is one of the official heads of the department of metalurgy in Washington and his analysis of the specimen mineral sent to his department by the Pres ton company was given an exhaust i've and searching test, it seems. The Washington official expresses the encouraging information that the strike was of a very unusual nature, and that it is of considera ble value if it can be mined econ omically.4
 Mr. Moore's letter, dealing with the, subject, is as follows:

 ''Paragould, Ark.
 "Gentlemen; As regards mineral specimen obtained while drilling for oil submitted by Mr. F. H. Warner, of Gainesville, Arkansas, I regret that through absence of the Tech nOlogist who examines mineral spec linens this matter has been delayed some time.
 "The material submitted consists of white mica or muscoyite i'll a finely divided form. It contains a few grains of sand but otherwise is pure. It is unusual to find such material in nature in a form as pure as that submitted and if it occurs in squantity it may have some value for the same purposes for which ground mica is now employed. Ground mica is used in the manufac ture of wall paper, lubricants and to form surface coating. on rolled roofing. If this material was found at considerable depth below the surface in drilling for oil it would have no commercial value for it commands not more than $20 to $50 a ton in pure form, and Ito put it on the market it would be neces- sary to purify it and possibly to grind it also.
 ''I trust that this information will be sufficient to give you some idea as to tits commercial possibilities and if you desire more detailed in formation would be glad to supply

S''Chief Mineral TechnOloglst. " According to the drillers, the Formation referred to may easily be mined or pumped from tue well, it
 being in sltish formation. The ldrillers claim the strata is fully S5 | feet in thickness feet in it's purest form; the strata proper, it is said, measures nearly hundred feet in thickness It is said to be at depth .of approximately 900 | feet. The drillers claim they can produce the substance in very large quantity and are having Secretary Allan D. Stewart correspond with concerns using it in manufacturing
 commercial, products referred to by the Washington official.
 One of the drillers said to a Press representative this morning that the formations they are going through are the most interesting he and his associates have ever pene- trated during their long years of 1 drilling for oil. After passing out of the mica formation several days
 ago, the drill penetrated some rock
 and heavy strata of quick-sand. The latter formation caused consid-
 erable delay in lowering the ten | inch casing, but the trouble on that
 account is being gotten rid of, il l is said. Most of the sand trouble, it is said, was passed yesterday af- ternOon. The ten-inch casing is be- | ing lowered, slowly but surely, they
 claim. Saturday 1S0 feet of it was
 sent down and yesterday afternoon
 late two more lengths of about 45
 feet were lowered
 Late yesterday the bit struck an iron ore formation at depth es- ltimated to be 1,161 feet. The struc- ture is very hard and three of the ] drillers came to the city this morn ling to procure quantity of dyna-
 mite with which to blast the ob lstruction from beneath the casing The ore is of very interesting
 structure, being of fantastic shapes
 and, apparently very rich of ore The drillers regard the present anc Irecent formations as being highly
 encouraging and are looking forward with much interest to the deptl

LENlN NOT RUSSIAN CHIEF
Bolshevik Exponent Is Premier, Michael
kalinin Being President of Central
Executive Committee.

Most Americans believe that Nikolai
Lenin is president of Russia, whereas
he holds an Office which corresponds
TO that Of the British premier. Michael
Kalinin, a peasant, for more than two
years has been president of the All
Russian Central Executive committee.
His position is only about ms politically
powerful as that of the French presi-
dent, and, whereas the French execu.
tives position is mostly social, the
Russian president is mediator. cham.
pion and political adviser of the
peasant masses of Russia.
Kalinin's office in Moscow is not
in the Kremlin, but in an ordinary
office building in the heart of the
city. 1t is the one place in Russia
where no papers" are demanded
when one enters and no guards stand
about the doors.

A NOBLE ENGLISH VAMPIRE.

THREE Of England's dukes are d.
rect descendants OF Frances How
ard, born in 1903, and one OF the few
English women who may be truly
called vampires. Her father was the
earl of Suffolk, and at the age of thir-
teen he married her to the earl of
Essex, year older. But she did not
live with him until 1911, though In
the meantime she had become mis-
tress TO the earl of Somerset, favorite
of King James /.
Frances dabbled with soothsayers
and one of these, Mrs. Turner. got
into trouble. She made 1t known that
Frances had considered poisoning her
husband, whom she hated. The matter
was hushed up and Frances procured
annulment of her wedding ties. Then
she promptly married the earl OF Som
erset. Sir Thomas OVERLY, the earl's
friend, earned her undying hatred by
opposing the match. Frances schemed
to have him imprisoned in the tower
of London. Then she set out to poison
him. Sir Thomas was aware of the
plot against his life and took anti
dOtes which Offset the poisons given
TO him in food. So strong was his
constitution that it seemed he never
would die. But finally the end came.
Then new honors were snowered upon
Frances and her husband. Despite
this, retribution was Lear. new
favorlte arose at court, the ugly
stories of Overby's end were whispered
everywhere. Weston, the keeper who
had been responsible for the death Of
OVERLY, was arrested and confessed
He was hanged, then Sir Gervase Hely-
wys, lieutenant of the tower, met the
same fate. Mrs. Turner, who had
hand in the plot, also went to the scat
fold, along with the ap0thecary who
mixed the poisOns.
The earl of Somerset and Frances
were tried and condemned. 1t seemed
that both were TO pay the heaviest
price which the law could exact, but
the power of their families finally won
a pardon for them, and although their
estates were confiscated, each received
"a pension and the right TO life, when
four of the lesser guilty ones had been
executed. They were forbidden to stay
in London and made to fix their resi-
dence at a country place. Perhaps this
was the severest penalty that could
have been inflicted for Frances grew
TO hate the man whom she had loved
with such infatuation, and he saw in
her only the instrument of his dis
grace and the tool of fate which had
led to the murder of his friend. The
last years of Frances were filled with
tragedy and remorse. She died at
thirty-nine, leaving an infamous
memory behind her.
