Florida Phosphate Miners Organize

OcALA, Fla, Sept 2L-A call has been issued
to all phosphate miners and owners of phos-
phate lands in Florida for general meeting, to
be held for the purpose Of forming an exchange
for mutual protection. The necessity for a con-
cert OF action is doubtless found in the present
lower prices in the European markets aud the
general advance in freight rates 20 the United
Kingdom and continental ports. Shipments OF
grain will probably keep rates up for some
months to come, and even at present there is
hardly any tonnage offering. movement viii

How "a Hole Is Drilled Into the Earth
Thousands of Feet In Depth.
When u gas or oil well ia located tho
first step is to build over it derrick,
which is frame from 80 to 90 feet high,
built of by timber IN the form of a
square pyramid. In this is erected a
walking beam or horizontal rocking
shaft, pivoted III the middle 20 feet long,
one end of which is connected to the
crank shaft Of tho engine; to the other Is
suspended the drill or boring tool.
The drill "bit" consists of steel CHS
ell blade. obtuse but sharp, about 8 inch
es wide. with shaft about o inches in
diameter, abo6t feet long, weighing
about 250 pounds. The lower or cutting
part is of steel, the shaft is of iron. The
'stem" is Of iron rod of the same size as
the shaft of the bit into which it Is
screwed, and is SO feet long and weighs
over 1900 pounds.
In the upper end Of the stem is ring
by which the whole is suspended by It
inch MANILA rope. The drill is raised
about feet for stroke, the weight
being about ? 800 pounds, and let fall on
the rocks beneath. The number of
strikes average about 45 per minute.
The hole is inches in diameter at the
start and the drill chops its way down as
far rs possible-sometimes from 100 to
200 feet. When water or sand prevents
further progress by caving, it is neces-
sary to case the hole with sections Of
iron tubing having an inside diameter
of 81 inches, which are screwed together
and driven down to the bottom Of the
hole.
Then smaller drill, fitting the inside
of the casing, is again set to work as long
as possible. When again obliged to stop
the casing is withdrawn and ''reamer"
widening tool is put down and the lower
portion of the holeis enlarged to Sinches
Then the casing is again put down to
the bottom. In this way the work pro-
crosses until the desired depth is reached.
The drill is made with horizontal
notches throughout the entire length, as
it often happens that the bit of stem
breaks while in the pole. In such cases
grab hook" is slipped over the end Of
the broken piece, and in this way re-
covered.
The sand pump" which is used to
clean the sand and pulverized rock from
the hole, is simply tube twenty feet
long and five inches in diameter, the
valve being an iron or copper ball four
and one-half inches in diameter This
tube is let down, and when filled is drawn
out. The sand pump is used about every
five feet, and a sample of the rock cut is
put into bottles, numbered and labeled
with number Of feet and character of
| rock.-L. A. Felter in Indiana Farmer.

Keeping strict Account with the Girls.
There is young man in this city as
well known in business circles as he Is
to large number Of young ladies. In
his business he is quiet, regular ana in
dustrious, and particularly prides him
self upon the neatness and accuracy
which characterize his books of account.
During the social season he fits about
from entertainment to entertainment,
frequently attending the opera and play
houses, always having with him some
one of about a score of girls to whom he
pays more or less attention. When
asked recently why he had SO many
girls he said:
"Oh. all girls talk, as they write, very
much alike, but still there is more va
riety in twenty than in one. Besides, |
keep regular set of books at home in
which enter every cent spend on them,
and it affords me considerable amuse-
ment. For instance, l charge cost of

Old Judge Fernald, of Santa Barbara,
has the reputation of being the politest
man in California. He never loses an
opportunity to doff his hat or to offer
some slight attention to wayfaring men
and women. One day, as he was about
to take the train for San Francisco, he
reached the rear steps of the last car
just as they were approached by young
priest.
'sAfter the CLOTH" said the ehivalric
judge, stepping back with a courtly bow.
Gray hairs have the preference" re-
turned the priest, with splendid wave
of the hand.
''The church always has precedence,
retorted the judge, taking another hack
ward step, hat in hand.
1.-The church follows in the footsteps
of the fathers replied the priest, bow
ing low and indicating the way to the
steps.
The duel of politeness was not hall
through, neither yielding an inch, wher
the train pulled cut, leaving both bow
ing and smiling on the Platforms
