Mineral Resources of Arkan
sas.
From the Spirit of Arkansas.
Elsewhere we have spoken of
the agricultural wealth of the state,
and deduced figures from the cen
sus reports to show that Arkansas
gives the largest returns ror mon
ey or labor invested the soil for
agricultural purposes. We have
also shown that in the forests of
the state c.xist untold millions,
i and have given the reports of
of some of the most scientific men
of the age to prove our assertions;
and now wc propose to say some
thing upon the mineral resources
of Arkansas. The field is a broad
one and we can only touch upon
the salient points, in the present
issue; and here, we shall, as in
other instances, leave nothing to
conjecture, or mere assertion, but
give convincing evidences on what
we write upon. Arkansas, in her
mountain region, possesses more
varied and valuable minerals than
any other state. Coal, iron and
argentiferous galena arc scattered
I through various counties, while
1 valuable copper ores have been
IUUUU ill lib ICilSb bnu OVtblUIIO WI j
which we k now. Aud first of coal:
: j There is no speculation in regard j
11 to this—the Ouita and Spadra
. coal mines of which we speak in 1
• another article, have and arc
showing this. Prof. Owen, in his
report in 1858, speaks of the Ar
j kansas coal measures and shows
| them, even from his cursory ex.
, j animation, to be more extensive
, j than those in any other state eje- j
; j cept Illinois. Actual examina- j
| tion has shown that coal exists!
•' over the entire western portion of
! the state, and in the article on
“Arkansas Coal,” it is proven to
’' be of a very superior quality.
| And again, most excellent iron
- ores are found contiguous to the
I coal. We are told by a gcntle
> j man who has some knowledge of
i mineral, and upon whose judg
ment we rely, that within twenty
' five miles of this city, and near
II j the line of one of the railroads,
’ upon one section of land there is
t a coal-bed equal in quality to the
1' Ouita; limestone in abundance
. and specular iron ore. This com
0 bination is found nowhere in the
country except at Chattanooga,
I and there pig-iron isjnade at less
! than one half the price it costs in
j Pennsylvaniaor Ohio. There are
i several deposits of iron-ore of
I extraordinary richness and extent
| in different localities known to us,
, nnd which have every advantage
of fuel, water and transportation,
that but await the advent of cap-1
ilalists to make them mints where j
money will be coined by the mill
ion. The lead-ores of this state
have attrac ted some attention, and
efforts arc being made in the way
ot their development. The most
noted, because the first known of
these mines, is the “Kellogg,” sit
uated eleven miles north of this
city. This mine was discovered
many years ago and has been
partially worked at times. The
ore is nrgenlifero a galena,
and is very rich in si v -r. Late
ly the company owning the lands
have commenced work and are
taking out considerable quanti
ties of ore. The “Beller” mines
are situated in the southwestern
part of the state, in Sevier county.
They were discovered in 185G,
and were worked by the Confed
erate government during the late
war. Last year some gentlemen
from Missouri commenced work
in Newton county. They work
ed in a lead which they fol
lowed one hundred and thirty
feet, when they were driven out
by the flow of water. Lately they
have procured steam machinery
and have resumed operations.
Within a few miles of Little Rock
and convenient to transportation,
there arc well defined lead mines
—the ore being argentiferous gal
sna, yielding to the ton, b'sides the
lead, nearly if not quite, as much
silver as the silver-ores of Nevada,
By looking at the map and see
ing where the “Beller” mines are
in Sevier county, the “Kellogg’’
mines in Pulaski, and the mines
in Newton county, it will be seen
that their lead ores extend over
Dne-half of the state. In two dif
ferent sections, what is commonly
called “looking-glass” iron-ore
lias been found in large quanti
ties. Pig-iron from this ore is
worth now eighty dolars per ton.
We have seen excellent speci
mens of copper-ore from two differ
ent deposits, where the quantity
is said to be inexhaustable. Zinc?
antimony and bismuth have been
found in various parts of the
state. We have but hastily glanc
ed at these ores, intending in the
future to show them up fully, but
we cannot close this article with
out alluding to the immense de
posits of gypsum found in Sevier
county. It is found there in
abundance and of the best quality,
at a point so convenient that it
can be manufactured and deliver
ed in St. Louis for one-half the
price now charged.
More Attention.
From the Spirit of Arkansas.
We pick up a newspaper, read
an account of the growth of some
grain or root crop, in some favor
ed locality, and either pass it
over as an exceptional yield,
brought about by some mysterious
means, or consider it an exagger
ation.
If, instead of acting thus, we
should investigate the report, as
certain the mode of culture, soil,
etc., and then use this knowledge
in the selection of a locality for
settlement, we would be acting
the part of wise men, and would
know certainly what we could
raise and how to raise it. These
thoughts were suggested by see
ing at the doors of T. II. Mills &
Co., the sample grains sent to the
(Vntonnin.1 ('nmniitteo. Corn
stalks 16 feet high with cars so
high that one would have to use
a step-ladder to gather it. Oats
6 1-2 feet high, with heads 20
inches long. Millet over 6 feet
and rye over 7 feet. Wheat, clo
ver, timothy, orchard grass, red
top, llungaiian grass, et id omne
genus, all mammoth heighth, and
with splendidly filled heads.
Men—practical farmers, from
all parts of the United States, and
particularly from the north-west,
unite unanimously, in saying that
they never saw anything to equal
this—and when you consider that
you have, in addition to such
crops, no winter to hurt, that you
can raise two crops each year,
that you have your taxes limited
by a provision in the constitution
of the state, that the land can be
selected and had fiom one to five
dollars per a?re, and that you can
raise stock for half of the cost in
the more northern states, what is
there to keep emigration from
rushing in upon us like a flood?
Nothing—absolutely nothing—al
ready the advance guard is with
in our borders. The demand for
our laud has increased 500 fold
the past year, and we fully antic
ipate such an influx this fall and
winter as will astonish every one.
llut we are prepared to feed at
least 1,000,000 strangers, our
barns are full and our houses are
open, and we assure you that you ■
will find when you come that the
half has not been told you.
OiiSL'nvcn.
Thoughts of the Command
ment*.
“Love your neighbor ns yourself’—
, So the preacher preaches;
That’s one-half the deCr.logue—
So the prayer book teaches.
Half my duty I can do
With but little labor;
For with all my heart and soul
I do love my neighbor.
Mighty little credit, that,
To my self-denial;
Not to love her, though, might be
Something of a trial.
Why, the rosy light that peeps
Through the glass above her
Lingers round her lips; you sec
E’en the sunbeams love her.
So, to my credit more,
I’ll go beyond the letter;
Love iny neighbor as myself?
Yes, and ten times better.
For she’s sweeter than the breath
Of the spring that passes
Through the fragrant, budding
woods,
O’er the meadow grasses.
And I’ve preached the word, I know,
For it was my duty
To convert the stubborn heart
Of the little beauty.
Once again success has crowned
Missionary labor,
For her sweet eves own that she
Also loves her neighbor.

“Taking Notes.”
Not notes of hand with “I prom
ise to pay,” but as Cupt. Cuttle
in Dickens’ works would sai>
“make a note ot that.” Yes;
make a note of everything useful.
Go through your lields see how
much has b«en gained by leaving
two or three stalks of corn in a
hill and make a note of it.
See what difference there is be
tween crops on manured and un
manured land. See wln.t lias
been gained or lost by over-crop
ping, thereby raising a large crop
of weeds and a small crop of corn
or cotton. See what kinds of
corn have done the best. Exam
ine and weigh the different kinds
of wheat ank make a note of the
kind of land upon which they
have been raised, the time sown,
and whether cooked or sown dry.
Observe the best time for cutting
timber for fences, the best time
for planting trees and pruning
them, also the kinds of apples,
grapes and other fruits which
mature the most perfectly. Ob
serve all those and many other
tilings and make notes of the
same, if not with pen and ink at
least on the “tablets of your mem
ory.” * T.
Advantage)* of Fall Plowing.
In the first place if done in the
right time and in the right man
lier it destroys a large part of the
seeds of obnoxious weeds. Tin n
again the weeds turned under
green make a good manure for
the next year’s crop. Another
important advantage is that the
soil is in a condition to be great
ly beneiitted by the action of the
frost. The farmer who lias his
land plowed in the fall has less
to do in the busy spring time and
is not in so much danger of “get
ting behind'’ with his crop.
Teams arc generally rested and
it divides the heavy work so as
not to break them down. Those
who have suitable teams and
wheat or oat stubble will do well
to break their land as soon as the
rains moisten the soil sulliciently.
Be sure to bkkak deki*—the
deeper the better. T.
Destroy the Weeds Before
they Mature their Seeds.
On most farms enough weeds
are allowed to go to seed in the
fence corners and turn rows to
completely seed their own and
neighbors fields. All wrong
brothers. If health nnd strength
will permit be sure to use the
scythe and exterminate the briers,
hog-weeds, lambs-quarter, Ac..
Ac., Ac. It will pay two hundred
per cent, next summer. T.
An eight day clock and a mow
ing machine would be better em
blems for time than the houi
glass and scythe and more in
keeping with the spirit of the age
Professor Proctor is now en
gaged in demonstrating that the
planets are inhabited. He is
most certain about Jupiter nnd
Mars, and no one is able to con
trndict him.
It is said that ex Gov. Islinm
G. Harris is a candidate for the
U. S. Senate from Tennessee, to
till the vacancy caused by the
death of Andrew Johnson. Kx

also reckoned aspirants for the
position.
STAfSE ITEMS.
Ozark Banner: We learn from
Judge Nicola that Mr, John
Barnes while on a visit to Paris,
Pope county, was shot in the thigh
and severely wounded by a law
yer, named Cotton. The alterca
tion it is said came from some re
marks, made by Barnes about a
lady. The wound is not supposed
to be mortal. From the report
we suppose the shootist is justifi
able as Barnes jth reate tied to
shoot first aud drew a pistol when
the other stepped in and got a
shot gun and fired with effect as
stated.
Arkansas Post: The outlook
now is quite encouraging. Sun
shine, bright; water at its maxi
mum height; levees all safe; crops
rushing to maturity at rapid
speed—never were better in this
country. Don’t know how they
are to be gathered, or whether
there will be room to contain
them. Every packet reports fa
vorable news from the upper
streams. Every farm product
is being improved by the high
tide which acts as a partial irri
gation rising up from under strata
and gently moistening the surface.
Spirit of Arkansas: Dr. II. 6.
Howslev, of Water Station, Jeffer
son county, Ark., has just cut his
clover the second time this season,
ami it averages, for the two cut
tings, six tons per acre. This is
still abundance of time for anoth
er cutting, before fall, and be ex
pects to realize in all, for the sea
son, between 8 and 9 tons to the
acre. That is profitable farming,
with clover at twenty-five dollars
a ton—and we have thousands of
acres of just as good land for sale
at two dollars and fifty cents per
I acre.
Ozark Banner: The election
! in the Indian Nation results in
the triumph of the Downing party,
their candidates, Chas. Thompson
I for the chief and Col. W. P. Adiar,
I second chief being elected by
i about GOO majority. Ross only
carried two districts. It is to ire
hoped that the killing and mur
dering will be stopped now the
election is over. Two more-such
cases reported the last week and
how many more unknown.
Standard: On last Saturday
night, Sam Harris (col.) tried to
make an angel out of one Jones,
(col.), with his little pistol. At
the discharge of the pistol Jones
fell and “’possomed,” to keep
Harris from taking another pop
i at him. Harris was arrested, and
as he couldn’t tell a lie, he waived
j an examination on the charge of
an assault with intent to u:lj and
murder, and was placed under a
two hundred dollar bond to an
swer at the next term of the Cir
cuit Court. He was required to
pay ten dollars for his pistol prac
tice, and cheap enough at that.
Clarksville Van Guard: While
making our up-tho-courtry trip
inc passed up on the south side
of tl e river to Van Buren, and
back on the north side, and with
one or two exceptions found the
crops excellent. The farmers are
feeling good from neck to heels,
the merchants all wear smiling
faces. The crop of greenbacks is
decidedly short, but we know that
line crops will bring that all right.
Clarksville Van-Guard: The
corn crop in Johnson county, this
year, is better than it has been
for years; indeed, to couch it in a
“nut shell,” it is simply fixe. Im
migrants, Johnson county, Arkan
sas, is the plnce for you to come
to. We invite you to come and
share our good fortunes, and make
for yourselves a permanent home
in our midst. We invite from all
sections.
White Co. Record: We have
before ns a head of wheat which
some nomenclature Cuba, Chinese
and Egyptian wheat. We have
heard those three different names
applied, and one man anglocised
it by calling it “chicken corn.”
In appearance the kernel resein
hies diminutive peas, and grows
on stems like wheat in clusters,
i forming a cone similar to a pirn
apple. The sample before us was
raised by Mr. S. M. Rice, and lit
says a gentleman on the inoun
tains raises it regularly, and lias
itground into flour, and avers that
you couldn't tell it from oruiuaiy
flour when made into biscuits. If
is easily cultivated, about 1 fool
apart iu drills, and is said tr
yield 75 bushels per acre. Ifsuel
he the fact, and we doubt it not
it can be made profitable here.
Fa\ etteville Democrat: Wt
heard one of our farmers say tin
other day, that he would sell froir
500 to a 1,000 bushels of con
at 25 cents n bushel. The con
crop in this county will be im
mouse, and there will he little oi
no demand for it; however, oui
farmers should not give their con
away or waste it. A full con
crib is a good thing to have ahoul
the place at all times.
Uehtonville Advance: Alreadj
| wagons are coming in from Kan
sas to purchase fruit. Wo hav<
heard oi several wagon loads be
ing sold at 50 cents a bushel
This will be the ruling price.
Washington Telegraph: Mr
John Justus’s mill has groom
; over 2700 bushels of wheat since
the harvesting of the grain. Thh
| is 500 more bushels than the same
j mill ground tiie whole of last sea
i son, and gives an idea of the vasl
j amount of the grain raised iu the
I county.
