In the twelve counties constituting the
second division of the collectors district
OF Florida, consisting of Marion. Alachua,
Putnam, Nolusia, Brevard Dade, Orange,
Osceola, Lake Sumter, fernando. Citrus
and Levy counties, forty cigar factories
are in operation. During the first nine
months of this year these factories bought
in round numbers 5000 pounds of leaf
tobacco, manufactured 7,322,9 l2 cigars. ana
sold f,6t9,SO cigars, being an excess OF
2obS6S cigars of what was made, which is
accounted for by cigars on hand at the
commencement of the year. The 1909 $50
cigars sold brought a revenue to the gov
eminent of $2l ,S296l Two cigar factories
are located in Alachua. two in Putnam,
one in Brevard, three in Dade, two in
Orange, two in Osceola, one I'm Lake two
in fernando and twenty-five in Marion
county. In the entire Second district, OUT
OF forty factories, Ocala has twenty-five,
and her output in increasing daily.
A large fire occurred on Tuesday night
at Maclntyre. thirty-fve miles south of
Tallahassee, on the Carrabelle, Tallahassee
and Georgia railroad. The fire originated
IN the planning mill of the Georgia and
Florida Investment Company there, and
the entire building, machinery. kilns and
all the lumber stored therein were quick
" consumed, including about 900 600 feet
OF pine lumber, mostly dressed and ready
Tor shipment; also four Louisville and
Nashville box cars, and one belonging to
the Carrabelle, Tallahassee and Georgia
one saw-rnill was saved. Just how the
fire started no one knows. The night
Waterman had just left the planning mill
and gone over to the saw-mlll, distance
OF only 100 or 200 yards, when the fire
left and cannot account for it. Though
the flames were only small when discoV-
cred, with the usual amount OF combus-
Ible material found around planning
mill, it was impossible to control them.
a letter from Ocala to the Jacksonville
citizen says; This year Florida will
market not less than $4,000 tons Of high
grade phosphate. This output viii be in
creased next year about Is per cent About
$1,000 tons are now on hand, and practically
all of this has been sold at prices ranging
from 81 per ton for rs per cent. rock to
S3.25 and upward for the 20 per cent. grade
Two things confront the phosphate miners
in Florida IO-day-first, the low price
of the product, caused to a certain extent
by oVerproduction; second, the really
great danger of the extinction Of many
OF the mines, and the necessity of having
to find new grounds for the expensive
plants which must before long be moved.
The ruling prices to-day are very low and
N o nv he af
the Florida mines or their future pros
poets. The recent shipments have been
unusually heavy, and the shipments from
this state for this year will approximate
$500 tons, with an estimated increase of
25,0OO to $1,000 tons additional in 1896. Many
articles have been written about phos-
phate, and few of them have been relia-
Bile. For this reason an exclusive list of
all the mines in the state is here given,
