FLORIDA PHOSPHATE ROCK.
That Industry Has Had Most Pros.
porous Year

Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 1O.-The magni-
tude of the phosphate mining industry in
Florida is strilkingly set forth by the sta
tistics regarding the exports of phosphate
rock from this state for the year 1899.
which were published last week by the
Engineering and Mining Journal of New
York, in its annual statistical number,
and which are confirmed by reports re-
ceived by the Commissioner of AgricuI-
ture of Florida, who has charge of all
statistics bearing upon this states prod
ucts.
For Florida phosphate operators the year
1899 was an exceedingly good one. produc-
ton having been enlarged by the opening
of new deposits, consumption increased by
superphosphate works, and prices having
advanced materially. A very large pro.
portion-about 70 per cent.--of the Florida
phosphate rock is exported to foreign
countries, notably to the United Kingdom
and Germany.
According to the Engineering and Mining
Journal, of all phosphate produced in this
country, Florida hgh-grade rock as to Sc
per cent? was in most demand for export
In January quotations were $3.50 TO 80 ,,er
long ton, I. o. b., Fernandna. and Sl3.73
10 $l3.S c. i. f. United Kingdom or North
sea ports. Prices held remarkably strong
and firm throughout the year, and in De-
cember producers were asking $40 (. O. b..
Fernandina, and abroad 1885 to $l4 was
quoted. The miners are well filled with
orders for the year 1900, and il is expected
that some operators will seek higher prices
this year, though $40 f. o. b. Fernandina is
now considered a good market price. In
the land pebble and Peace river rock re-
gions operations have been well con-
trolled, as the large miners have taken
hold of many of the smaller properties.
The total production Of all phosphates
in Florida in 1899 was 1851 long tons, or
2l9 10 tons greater than last year.

Winter Park News.

err Winter Park News.
Winter Park, Fla, Jan. 10.-The arrival
of Col. o. L. F'risbie and family to open
the Seminole Hotel on Monday, has given
a new impetus to the winter boom which
was already of unusual size. Col. FRS
bic, is a relative of the late Mr.. II. B.
Plant, and his management of the hotel
last season was in all respects a great
success.
There is no healthier or lovelier inland
winter resort in Florida than Winter PARK

winter tourists rates TO our door.
President George NJ. Ward, of Rollins
College, has surprised everybody by his
energetic work at the North the past sum-
mer in behalf of his excellent institution
of learning. and as a result there is a
big rush of students, fun corps of in
structors. and all needed improvements to
put Rollins College on sure basis of sue
cess in the future. The recent rally of Its
friends was made to overcome the loss in
values from the severe freezes, and now,
the financial condition of the college will
be such as to keep all the wheels in mo-
ton.
Last winter the freeze knocked out the
enterprisng Horticultural Associations

one on Feb. p, %. %, and TO make il, if
possible, more attractive than the former
ores. New premiums are offered, $40 for
best half-dozen pineapples s. for the best
cassava roots, and $40 for best exhibits of
products of cassava. The liberal Whip
pie premiums. - from Bishop and Mrs II
b. Whipp.e of Maitland, are divided into
s. premiums for plain and fine sewing
cake, biscuit, strawberries. tomatoes, veg
etables etc. and will stimulate all classes
of exhibitors. 1t 1t also expected that the
Hoppers and Dommeuchs, wealthy New
Workers. VIII make splendid exhibits from
their groves, gardens, pineries and green
houses. The outlook, therefore, is very
encourag ng.
The boarding houses are full of winter
guests and furnished houses have all been
engaged so that we have no fear of a
short crop of winter residents the present
season, although many new faces take the
place of old familiar ones. This section
