The phosphate outlook in this coun-
ty, in general sense, points to clos
and quantity of the deposits. That
they are numerous is beyond queS.
ton, and that some of high grade
have already been well located, is
likewise true; but inquiry as yet has
been barely superficial. 1t is nearly
always SO with propositions entirely
new and at variance with popular
belief. Cold proof is requisite both
to carry conviction, and, what il
more natural, to attract or arouse
capital to its opportunities. We be-
lieve that in the comparatively near
future the phosphate industry will
be well established in this county.
We would much prefer to see home
men in charge of it, in order that the
profits might more largely renal in in
the community, but If local money
and enterprise do not address them
selves to the task of development,
capital from elsewhere will enter
and reap the rewards. Re.

The phosphate fever has hit Tulla-
homa, and we are told that deposits
have been found within a few miles

A. G. Floyd, of the Chattanooga
News, who has been at Mt. Pleas
ant, says: 1.-The phosphate fever in
Maury county is at white heat. Al
least $1,000 900 has been spent BY
foreign investors for phosphate
lands in the county within the las
year, and deals for $1,000,000 more
are pending. The phosphate beds a
Mt. Pleasant alone are estimated tC
be worth $250,000,OOO. 1t is not un
usual TO find 10000 tons to the acre
and it is worth So 30 a ton on the
cars at Mt. Pleasant. More thar
$780, 900 worth of land has changed
hands recently at Spring Hill, anC
deals for that much more will b,
consummated in that neighborhood
in few days.-Fayetteville Oh
