Machinery For the "0Id CoIum.
bia" Has Been Ordered.
Lots Of Spar Coming out Of the
Memphis, Zinc at Willer's.

The Kentucky Fluor Spar Co.
is now turning out an average of
fifty-fve tons per day, of as fine
tluor spar as ever came out OF. the
earth. This firm is working both
the Holly and Memphis mines.
AT the Holly the shaft is Is feet
deep; at the Memphis there are
two big openings about $50 feet
deep, and from one the drift ex-
tends out some 300 or 400 feet,
while from the other it is about
200 feet. At this mine fifty men
are at work. Here the spar is
washed as it comes from the shaft
and the most convenient and at
the same time inexpensive ar
engagements have been perfected
for washing spar. When the spar
is tilted from the hoist tub on a
platform some forty feet above the
mouth of the shaft it presents the
appearance of ordinary stone,
thoroughly mixed with clay. On
the platform it is separated, the
lump going down broad shoot,
where it is washed with the hose.
The small lump and finer particles
are thrown into a sluice, down
which it is carried by the water
pumped from the shaft to screen
through which the finest PARTICLES
fall, and is rewashed and shoveled
out for the wagons, Two adyant-
ages are gained in the use OF the
sluice, the spar is washed by utiliz-
ing the water that has to be pump
ed from the mines, and every par
ticle of the fine spar, most of
which has been heretofore lost, is
saved.
The arrangements were perfect
ed by Mr.. Harry Watkins, the
mine manager, to whose skill and
ingenuity the company is indebted
for this simple but effective way
of handling spar.
This spar is said to be the finest
in the world, and the supply is
simply inexhaustible.
~
The shaft at the old Columbia
mines has been cleaned out. There
are four drifts at a depth of Sol
feet. The vein at the drifts is
five feet wide and at the bottom
of the shaft, So feet lower, it is
seven feet wide. At the drifts
huor spar is mixed with the zinc,
at the bottom of the shaft the
huor spar disappears, and the zinc
is said to be as rich as any mines
in the world. At places along the
drifts. which run out from 100 to
200 feet, the vein is fifteen feet,
wide.
The company is now nsgotiat-
ing for the machinery to operate
the mines and handle the ores. 1t
will probably be four or five
months before the machinery can
be procured. In the mean time
the company has number of men
prospecting on the property.

Legislative Appropriation Bill.
It was the intention Of the Republic
can leaders of the house to call up the
Puerto Rican tariff bill, there was such
demand for time to discuss various
questions during the general debate
upon the legislative, executive and ju.
dlcIal appropriation bill, which was
called up to-day, that Air. Payne gave
notice that he would allow the Puerto
Rican bill to go over until Monday.
The debate upon the legislative bin to-

the question of government deposits in
national banks, reckless expenditures
for pensions, and finally drifting into
the question of election methods in
Missouri.
Mr. Barthold, (Afo.), raised the latter
question by attacking the NesbIt law
and provoked long reply from Mr..
Benton MOI. who in turn aroused Mr.

things were said on both sides.
