was at the Capital Thursday. Mr.

tract is for eighty miles, and the road
will eventually be constructed to
Springfield, Mo., a distance of 200
miles, through the zinc country. “All
that rich mining country,” said Mr.
McNair, “is just waiting for us to get
to it to be developed. There are a
half dozen different minerals, princi

touched. The timber is tine, too, and
when we get up farther, things will
begin to move. All they need is
transportation facilities. The capital
is ready and waiting to go in as soon
as we get there.” Little Rock Ga
