NO DANCER
OF the "Breaking Out" Spread.
ing in Marion.
Confiped TO the one Family, and the
Strict Precautions Observed.

There is no change in the smallpox
situation in Marion. The disease ia
confined to the one colored family.
The boy who brought the disease here
has about recovered, but two children
of the family are sick with 1t. 1t is
still very mild, the two children had
fever Friday and Saturday and
"broke out" Sunday, but were never
sick enough to 20 to bed, and are up
now. The family is kept rigidly con-
fined to its quarters, no one but an
attendant and the physician being
permitted to 60 about them.
There are no other cases in the
town Or vicinity and the scare so far
as Marion is concerned has about
blown over. The prompt measures
adopted and enforced from the start
are commended on all sides and there
will be no curtailing of the vigilance
to keep the trouble down.
In the Fords Ferry neighborhood
there are several cases of the disease
and in the country it has been found
hard to keep it from spreading.
In the Dycusburg section there are
still number of cases, but there is a
united effort being made to stop its
further spread. There are still great
many who do not believe that it is
small, aud the physicians of the coun.
ty do not agree.
The absence of any deaths, and tie
very mild attack in a great majority
of the cases makes 1t hard for the poo
pie to believe that it is smallpox.

WILL INVEST
In Crittenden County Mineral
Lands and Mines.
Ohio Capitalists Spend Several Days 10
Looking Over the Country.

Judge W. 8. Waggoner and Messrs
Copper, Yeager and Hatcher after
spending some two weeks looking over
Crittenden and Livingston counties,
returned to their home at Tiffio, Ohio,
Friday. They were favorably i'm
pressed with the mineral prospects of
this country. In an interview with
the Press Mr.. Copper said:
"You certainly have fine mineral
country, and with apother railroad
through the mineral sections, and bet
ter country roads to the railroads, the
country will be developed.
So far your mining seems to be con
fined chiefly to fluor spar, and, while
the market for this is limited. you
have the advantage of being the only
place in this country where spar is
now mined. Thers are other deposits
of spar, but they are in localities that
are at present inaccessible
Do you regard the spar as the most
valuable mineral we have in profitable
mining quantities?
"By no means, you have both lead
and zinc. Spar, as you know, is
found near the surface, / think when
the miner gets down from three to six
hundred feet, he will find lead and
zinc in profitable quantities.
At present there seems to be no
way of easily separating the zinc and
spsr-the specific gravity of the two
being so nearly the same, some new
process must be invented or discover
ed to do this work before the zinc now
found with the spar can be mined
profitsbly. ] should think lead, under
present conditions, is the most valua-
BILE product you have to mine.
"No, no, there's no gold or silver
in this country, and there is no need
of ybody following that ignus fac
tus."
There is and has been talk of
another railroad through this section,
Mr.. Copper, and you are perhaps IN
better situation than any of the peo-
pie here to know about the profpe CTS
of the new road. What about il?
The capitalists who invest in rail-
r sds are like those who invest in any
other business; it they are convinced
that the mining and other in, ,rests
will remunerate the owners for money
invested 10 road, you will have no
trouble about getting the road"
What are the probabilities or posi-
bilities of your people investing in
mines or mining in thi, section?
"It is probable that we will make
some Investments. Some of US will
return to this county within a few
weeks.

The Mt. Vernon Democrat says:
"A new line of railroad is to be built
from Marion, KY, to Metropolis, and
Golconda, ILL.,, and with proper per-
sussion the same could he continued
to Mt. Vernon. The new road will
be run to Marion, KY, and connect
with the Illinois Central. which could
easily be connected with Mt. Vernon
from Uniontown. We have a straight
tip that an engineer will be here ia
look the matter over. Such road
would give us an outlet to the South,
