THE HOPE NINE.

At Hope is located the mill Of the
Kansas Cement Plaster company,
which has been in operation since
1887. They first used the middle
stratum, quarried near the top Of the
hill, one and one-balf miles west Of
town. The rock IS about 5 feet thick
and lies 10 feet below buff, shaly
limestone. The gypsum is white and
compact in texture except near the
surface. wbero it is rendered granular
and more or less colored as a result
Of weathering. The satin spar asso-
ciated with it is Of clear white color
when viewed from the side, and
viewed from above it possesses a
cream-white tinge. Over the gvp-
sum is thin deposit Of black, i'm
pure, shaly gypsum.
In 1894 the company abandoned
this quarry and sank shaft quar-
Ter mile west Of the quarry, so feet
in depth, to the lower stratum which
is nearly IA feet thick.
The gypsum in the quarry on the
hill east Of Hope lies below buff,
soft, shaly limestone and this lime
stone accompanies all the gypsum

enough, for it is an event of rare conse-

American tour was a long time in sus-
pense, owing to nnumerable engagements
by Strauss on the other side of the At
lantic himself and his organization be-
ing the most sought after of any. and 1t
was only by declining numberless offers
for the present season that Strauss was
enabled to comc at all.
Much greater interest is manifested at
this time to hear Strauss even than upon
his first tour, for within ten years he
has attained surprising supremacy in
Europe, and accounts of his successes
have stirred America vastly.
