AARON, SSS White River Branch of Iron Mountain Will Reach Mining and Agricultural Re- sources of Missouri and Arkansas. The vew railroad known as the White River Branch of the Iron Mountain will be opened for traffic {n about @ month, and then an ex- ceedingly rich section of Missouri and Arkansas will receive the advant- ages of transportation facilities to promote retarded development, says the Reoublic, The new route will ex- tend from Carthage,Mo., to Newport, Ark. Upon reflection, it seems strange that so resourseful a part of two States should be without ra{lroad connections up to this time, and particularly when the main lines of several systems are comparatively near, The mining and agricultural and horticulture capacities of the White River country are, without exaggeration, large. The whole section is celebrated for its pictur- esqueness and {ts health giving prop- erties. There wasevery inducement for the construction of a railroad. The road taps the lead and since lands of Arkansas. The hardwood forest of Arkansas and the frult sec- tions of Missouri, Already consider- able progress has been made with mining, and a few mining towns have come into existence. Along the river are found vast quantities of different kinds of marble and building and cement stone. Farm- ing, too, has been carried on success- fally. The advancement which has been made since the two divided lengths of the raflroad have been in opera- tion, and since capital has acted upon the advice of prospectors, is an assurance that the opening of the through line will produce notable development. The town of Yellville, Ark. situated in the mining district, {s exploited by the Iron Mountain’s representa- tives as having many of the pros- pects which Joplin has realized, At- tention is also directed to Buffalo City and other towns around which mines are worked. Near Yellville is the new town of Cotter, which was incorporated in 1903. Cotter bas a population of nearly 1,000, and its railroad traffic averages $20,000 a month.
