VISIT SILVER HOLLOW MINE.
Interesting letter Erom a Newport Young
Lady Who Visited This Eamous
Zinc Mine.
Situated in the very center of
Marion county, and in the very
heart of the rich mining district
lies Yellville, a delightful town
with a population of 1,200. No
artificial methods can equal
what nature has gratuitously j
provided in this part of our state,,
and those who go every year in |
search of beautiful scenery j
would do well to take Emerson’s.
advice and see what we have at
home before seeking in other
states and countries.
It was a little after sunrise
when we started for a visit to
the Silver Hollow Consolidated
Zinc Company. The sky was
cloudless, the air was cool and
fresh. It was, in short, a beau
tiful September morning, and
everything gave promise of the
fine day which it proved to be.
The spirits of the party rose as
we took her way along Crooked
and Clabber creeks and Buffalo
river, where the woods were still
fresh and full of color. At every
turn some lovely scene framed j
itself for permanent hanging in
our memory. New a glimpse of
lilt; Siltlll IIJUUIl tcaJJiO, JilVC© VA/v- ;
ered and clad with vines, tower
ing hundreds of feet above us; |
now a great oak with tracery of
branches exquisitely etched
against the sky; now a fertile
slope filled with orchards and
fields of grain. Nature has in
deed spread all manner of nets j
to beguile us out ourselves.
At 12 o’clock we were able to
do justice to an elegant dinner, (
specially prepared by the gener- i
ous hostess of the McIntosh t
hotel, and at 2 o’clock we reach- j
ed the famous Silver Hollow;
Zinc Mine, our destination, i
Through the courtesy of thej
efficient manager, Mr. Ernest L.!
Stanley, and Mr. Frank M. Mil-;
ler we were allowed to follow
the “Sunshine” for a distance of
more than four hundred feet
through blasted rock and glisten
ing zinc. It took little coaxing
to imagine ourselves in the cave
of “The Count of Monte Christo. ”
With a 30-foot face of ore Silver
Hollow is not only one of the
prettiest, but possibly the rich
est of the many mines in this
district. It was interesting to
hear that only recently a solid
piece of ore weighing 1,000
pounds was taken from it.
After spending perhaps two
hours in the mine and machinery
vaavya we recrossed nicturesoue
j Buffalo, reluctantly, for the fas
j cination of mining was upon us.
: The mystery of why men elect
to live underground w^s solved.
The return trip was delightful,
, however. The fl sh of the sky
just before sunset, the faint and
delicate tinge of pink, purple
and violet after the sunlight was
withdrawn, can never wholly
| fade from our vision. The inti
fmate association between books
and nature impressed itself. We
i‘‘found tongues in trees, books
in the running brooks, sermons
! in stones, and good in ever
thing.” A Visitor.

IRON MOUNTAIN ROUTt.
An Important factor in the Develop
ment of the Southwest.
The St. Louis Daily News in
its issue of September 30th,
prints the following encomium,
well deserved by both the rail
way and its chief passenger
official:
For many years the important
auxiliary of the Missouri Pacific,
known as the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railway,
or, more familiarly, the Iron
Mountain route, has been in act
ive operation as a public carrier
for the people of Southeast Miss
ouri, Arkansas, Texas, Indian
Territory and Louisiana. During
the major portion of its existence
the Iron Mountain route has been
energetically engaged in the up
building of that extensive and
productive section of our com
mon country.
Before the advent of the Iron
Mountain route that entire terri
tory was somewhat sparsely
populated. Its industries were
comparatively unimportant—few
in number and fewer in variety.
But the introduction of this well
equipped highway of commerce
spread the impulse of progress,
the vigor of industrial life,
throughout the entire region. Its
main line and branches ramified
rV\£» -fmiT s+.fltpff and. with its
cheap passenger and freight
rates and prompt, efficient ser
vice, it encouraged residents and
stimulated new settlers to such
an extent, that today the United
States has no territory more
prosperous and progressive.
The Iron Mountain has been a
principal factor in the develop
ment of the rich natural resour
ces of the region which it pene
trates. It has aided materially
in the cultivation of farms and
the establishment of mines, lum
ber mills, mercantile concerns
and other industrial and commer
cial enterprises, by giving them
an opportunity for speedy con
nection with the big markets in
the large cities. More than this,
by faciliating travel, it has
brought the people of that region
into closer relationship with the
larger established communities
of older states, and thereby in
fused the spirit of progress, the
desire for education and the
higher things of life in general
among them. In this way it has
assisted in the universal estab
lishment of schools, churches,
newspapers, etc., throughout the
tributary territory.
Mr. H. C. Townsend for over
twenty years, general passengdr
and ticket agent of the Missouri
Pacific—Iron Mountain System,
has no superior in the art of rail
road advertising. Trained in his
work on the Pennsylvania Rail
road, his personal attention is
given to every department, as is
shown in the original methods
pursued. Were it not for the
profusely illustrated literature
which Mr. Townsend’s depart
ment of the Iron Mountain dis
tributes so freely and abundantly
i few outsiders would be aware oi
the salubrity of. climate, th«
beauty of scenery and othei
points of advantage of th€
country along its routes. Ho1
Springs, Ark., is a living monU'
ment to its industry and enter
prise in this direction and then
are innumerable instances of less
note. In short, it may be said
that the liberal advertising whirl
the Iron Mountain passenger de
partment has given its porcion o
the Southwest has been a mail
cause for its present prosperou
condition.

Mysterious Poundings.
Bentonville, Oct. 6.—Mr. Jack
son, owner of the Crystal Cave
near this city, reports that quite
often during the night he can
hear pounding in the cave. This
is an old cave with one opening
leading almost straight down,
just large enough for a man to
get through. This opens into a
large room where the myster
terious working occurs. Mr.
| Jackson has blocked this opening
| several times, and within a few
days it would be reopened.
This cave contains some very
fine onyx, and there is also a
| story that an old Spanish treas
! ure was hidden in it. It is true
that in the opening Spanish
hyeroglyphics are found leading
back for several hundred yards.
Whether or not these myste
rious workers are hunting for
this or getting onyx is not
known.
