Prospecting Ends and Smelter Put In at Little Brushy
The Texas & Arkansas Mining Company on Little Brushy Creek near Mena installs a 20 ton per day water jacket smelter after promising assays show payable gold and silver. Stockholders from Marshall, Texas, anticipate a future mine boom as mill runs yield 12 to 20 dollars per ton in precious metals. Local notes mention community life and April’s arrival, with obliquely noted deaths and local tales, ending with a local medicinal ad for Prickly Ash Bitters.
