MINING OF PHosPHATEs.
Where Deposits Are Found and How
They AFRO Prepared.

Tho Florida phosphate deposits are Of
great Importance, yet their existence
was discovered SO recently and their
extent is still so uncertain that few per-
SONS not engaged III the sale of fertiliz-
ing materials have much knowledge of
the large industry which has sprung up
i'll the Peninsular State. 1t has practical
ly created new city-Ocala-which
had population of but few hundred
i'll 1870, but is now II thriving business
center with modern improvements,
banking facilities and ample railway
and transportation facilities. Engineer
ing, the leading engineering journal of
the world, makes the following state
ments concerning tho region, which are
OF considerable interest us coming from
an unbiased source: "There is no phos.
phate region i'll the world known today
that possesses SO many advantages for
successful mining as tho Florida depos-

average that is being worked anywhere.
The facilities for moving the products
to points for distribution are good Tho
average distance from mines to ports
for shipments is about $50 miles.

dina, Brunswick and Savannah tie

equals Fernandina i'll the amount of its
shipments. Railroad are numerous and
cheaply constructed when necessary to
extend them into new sections The
machinery needed to mine and prepare
tho material is simple and Inexpensive
compared with that generally used in
other mining operations, and the cost
of plant with sufficient land to work
upon is within the reach of small in
vestors. The working days at the mines
are about $50 during the year. The eli
mate is healthful, laborers readily OBJ
tanned at fair compensation, and
ski lied operatives arc at hand who IRE

Tho mining camps are generally we'll
regulated, and proprietors and employ
ees can reside at the mines with safety
and with little inconvenience, as sup
plies of all kinds can be readily obtain

mostly shipped to European ports and
are manufactured into fertilizers in
England, ireland, Germany, France,
and quite recently shipments have been
made to the Sandwich Islands. Foreign

pilates have their offices near the center
of production, and contracts for dcliv-

TRAMPs VERY RoLn.
Try Twice to Run Trains OF the TracI
Between Here and Osage.

Try Twice to Run Trains Off the Track
Between Here and Usage.
Tramps are growing unusually bold
along the line of the Santa Fe railroad.
1t has been made public that two efforts
were made Sunday to wreck trains The
first one was made about two and one
half miles north of Burlingame at about
one o'clock Sunday morning The engi-
neer of the passenger train that arrives
at Burlingame at about that time noticed
a hand car on the track near the Foster
coal shaft; he slackened up as quickly as
possible, but not in time to prevent hit
ting the hand car, which was knocked to
pieces.
1t is believed that this was the work
of tramps who had been put off train,
and who had taken the door of the hand
car house at Scranton off its rollers,
thrown it to one side, taken the car out
and left it where 1t was run into
The same day shortly after noon tie
was found across the track, south of
Burlingame, between Peterton and Usage
City. and here again the watchful eye of
the engineer prevented an accident He
slackened quickly and the wheels of the
engine struck the tie showing it along on
the rails about 100 yards before coming
to full stop.

Mr.. 4. G. Richardson of Newton COR
reefs some errors in recent article on
the Santa Fe road in the Newton Repub-
lican, and incidentally gives some inter
esting facts about the road. Mr.. Rich
ardson says:
Your article about the Santa Fe road,
Its name etc, is all right except that the
road was not originally built from Atchl-
son to Topeka, but west from Topeka IN
the summer and fall of 1870 to Emporla.
and in the winter of 1870 and spring OF
1871 was built west to Newton.
The land grant was made and the road
chartered under its present name in 1868,
nearly ten years before the Atchison
branch was built.
The line from Atchison to Topeka was
built in 1872 and at the same time the
road was extended west from Newton TO
the west line Of the state to comply with
the terms of the grant There never was
a Santa Fe trail from Atchisen. There
was an old trail from Fit Leavenworth,
and afterward a branch from Kansas
City, used by freighters to the forts and
posts on the frontier One branch of
that was up the Cottonwood and across
the divide to the Arkansas
There was a trail from St Joe via
Grasshopper Falls, now Valley Falls, to
Indianola, station about three miles
northwest of Topeka. One branch went
west up the north side of the Kaw river,
another crossed the river west of Topeka
aud thence southwest via Council Grove.

All intoxicating liquors and beverages
contain alcohol.
Alcohol ia poison to the nervous sys-
tenn and causes a diseased condition of
the nerve cells.
The diseased condition is accompanied
by a craving for stimulants and a di-
minuation of the will power.
Total abstinence will prevent the dis
ease but will not cure the diseased condi-
ton after 1t is once present.
A cure of the condition which is called
alcoholism can be obtained by the use of
proper remedies.
The remedies Of DR.. Leslie E. Kelley
have cured over 100000 men and women
and have been thoroughly tested for over
fourteen years.
The only places in Kansas where
Keeiey'a remedies and treatment can be
secured by the public, is at the Kelley
Institutes, COL Clay street, Topeka, and
Portsmouth building, Kansas City, Kan
sas.
DIR. Keeley's remedies are employed
exclusively and have been Administered
with remarkable success at both these
institutes. The Kelley treatment has
the endorsement of the United States
government and is employed at the sold
iers' homes and in the regular army
where it is administered to bonafide
members of the homes and regular sold
iers only.

while both the train and the rabbit are
running, but one day last week he made
the most remarkable shot that was ever
heard Of
While running up the Saline valley,
between Salina and Lincoln, some wild
geese that had been feeding on a wheat
field some three or four hundred yards
from the track few up and were making

Poor Freight Business Causes Closing
OF Stations.
The failure of crops last year has had
disastrous effect upon the local freight
business in Kansas and stations which
have sent away car loads of freight daily
now send none at all
That is why several stations have re-
Gently been abandoned on the Engle-
wood line of the Santa Fe and other
feeders of the Santa Fe. The officers of
the road say that there liz not enough
business at the stations to justify the ex-
pense of agents, and SO they were with
drawn and the station houses are closed.
It is said that the stations abandoned
will not be permanently kept off the time
card, but if the western part of the state
succeeds in producing a crop this season
they will again be open for business.
