GOLD MINING MAY
BECOME REALITY
(Continued from front page)
taken from the cut, and to a
party who' knows nothing
about these things the little
girls can tell an ineresting
story. The first mine to be
worked will be named after
the youngest of these little
girls, Christabelle.
Sanders is Optimistic
W. C. Sanders on whose
farm the first work will be
done is very optimistic re
garding the outcome of the
mine, and has used his every
effort to further the work of
prospecting and organization
of the company and has tak
en an active interest in help
ing every geologist who has
visited the field to get a com
plete report. Mr. Sanders has
thirty acres leased to the
company that is starting wrork
and he has other land in his
home place which is not leas
ed. When the mining fields
are a working reality it can
be said that Mr. Sanders was
one of the pioneers in this
field and one of the biggest
boosters for the product of
the mines.
Was Bed of Ocean
Most geologists who have
visited the field are of the be
lief that this community was
once the bed of an ocean, and
many petrified curiosities
have been found while pros
pecting on the Sanders farm.
Shark’s teeth, small fish and
turtles turned to stone have
been found, and some of these
are in possession of the chil
dren at the Sanders resi
dence.
May Be Large Field
Work of prospecting in this
neighborhood is going on ev
ery day, mostly by people who
own their land, and who ex
pect to develop a find of their
own and form a company for
working same.
Many of these parties have
received very favorable re
ports from some of the best
assayists in the country and
when work is started in earn
est at the Christabelle mine
other companies will probably

be formed and work started
on many tracts in the vicinity.
Koads are Bad
i'ne road from Newark to
the Sanders farm is not in
tne best of condition and the
heavy traffic that will result
from tne working the mine
will require a much better
road than the present one
On either side of this road
are fields that look as if
t h e r e needed to be min
eral beneath the surface, be
cause they look as if very lit
tle could be produced on top.
Newark is the logical ship
ping point and headquarters
for the mining field, and the
town should not let the op
portunity slip by to improve
this road leading to that com
munity.
There are knockers to ev
ery new project started
whether it has merit or not,
and this mining proposition
is coming in for its share.
There are people who believe
that there is absolutely noth
ing to this project, and they
are honest in their opinion,
and like many of us in this
section, they are ignorant of
the real value of this mineral
being found, and lots of them
hate to believe that any good
thing so profitable as a gold
mine could be found in this
community.
The Journal is like a lot of
the rest—we don’t know—but
we hope that the promoters
of this proposition have a
find that will put Indepen
dence county in the front
ranks of the world in gold
and platinum mining and
clean up a few' million dollars
for the people of this vicinity.
The assays made show a
valuation of from $61.00 to
$135.00 per ton in gold, silver
and platinum, and the assays
were made by some of the
most reliable assayists in the
entire country.
CAMP PIKE ABANDONED
(Continued from front page)
jor General S. Sturgis, was
housed at the camp, and in
addition some 40,000 men
were in replacement units.
Camp Pike, or the greater
part of it, was built within
the course, of lour months, in
the summer of 1917, by the
Stewart McGee Construction
Company. Later additions
were constructed, and when
the armistice was signed a big
addition was just being com
pleted.
The rise of this magic city
five and one-half miles north
west of North Little Rock out
of the Wilderness along the
old Cato road, within so
short a space of time, was
only one of the many wari
miracles performed by the;
American government under!
the urgency of the war.
SELL BLACKSMITH SHOP
Rev. Fink Will Devote Entire
Time to Ministry
Lev. G. L. Fink has sold
his blacksmith business to H.
G. Molsbee who took charge
this week and will continue
the business at the same
stand.
Rev. Fink will devote his
time exclusively to church
work and expects to enter at
once upon a campaign of
evangelistic work for the
church.
^Rev. Fink has done splen
did work for the church
since coming to the county
about 15 years ago and al
though his blacksmithing
business has required much
of his time for the past nine
years, he has nevertheless
done much constructive work
for the church. He has done
quite a good deal of evange
listical work, has organized
a number of churches in var
ious parts of the county, done
a good deal of pastoral wrork
and has served five terms as
clerk of the Independence
Baptist Association, besides
serving one year as associa
tional missionary.
He has disposed of his
business principally because
he desires to devote more
time to church work, and
states that he expects to de
vote his entire time? to the
ministry.
