that a lead, zinc, and fluor spar
field of wonderful possibilities is
being quietly, but rapidly develop
ed in Crittsnden and Livingston
counties, KY. and just across the
Ohio river in Hardin county, III
Although the territory embraced
is not known to be 80 extensive as
the Joplin, Mo-, field, yet the ores
now being mined are much richer
than sny taken from Joplin, and it
is doubtful if nature ever offered
the investor or prospector a more
peculiar OF enticing proposition
than is presented in this section.
In fact, these three counties con-
stitute a mineral district peculiar
10 itself, and of which there is no
counterpart iH-Amsrica.
The mineral bearing rock of this
field iskhe blue or dove colored
limestone, and is of the same geo
logical age and nature as the rich
deposits of Joplin and CRANKY in
southwest Missouri; but in the
Joplin district the ore is found In
stratified or horizontal beds, like
coal seams, while here it is found
in large vertical fissure veins,
which run parallel with, and cross
each other, and intricately ramify
the whole district. These veins
are easily traced for miles by their
surface groupings, affording pay
dirt" at the top, and in all shafts
opened on them the ores taken out
teys paid the expense of sinking.
7 While this Kentucky district
differs in the nature Of its veins
and iosiss from all cher fields in
America, yet it CLOSELY resembles
the great lead and zinc belts of
England, especially the mines of
Cardigan, and in the Montgomery
shire, where the veins have linear
extent of several miles, and show
strong seams of huor spar.
The existence of lead and zinc
here has been known for yesrs, and
sporadic attempts have been made
TO open up the field but no syste-
matte prospecting was ever done
until about two years ago, when
capitalists began to mine for huor
spar ON a large scale. This deeper
mining has demonstrated the pre-
sence of lead and zinc in associa-
ton with fuor spar in unlimited
quantity, and throughout the whole
district. The veins vary in width
from five to twenty feet, and from
wall to wall are filed with lead,
zinc. and fiuor spar.
Average assays OF the veins
show them to carry 40 per cent.
zinc, 25 per cent. lead, and "a per.
cent. fluor spar. All these miner
ais having a ready market, there
is, therefore, no waste or refuse
product taken from the mines. At
present market prices, the average
ton of ore taken from these mines
is $22, while in the Joplin district
it is less than 50. In that district
less than 10 per cent OF the mine
out patiis lead and zinc; the re-
naming 30 per cent being tiff
and limestone, and being worthless
goes into the dump. pile. oAN II

parison is just when based merely
'on the relative price per ton.
In the United States fiuor spar
has probably never beef used to
the same extent as in England and
on the continet, and for this two
reasons may be assigned: the lack
of information as to its value and
the proper manner Of using it to
obtain good results, and the un-
certainty of the supply. This lat
ter cause no longer exists, as ex-
tensivs and more workable depos-
it's have lat ,ly been opened up.
The use of fiuor spar in metall-
urgical work may be considered un-
der four heads: a. In the Blast
Furnaces, especially for the prod
ucts of ferro-silicon and ferro-
manganese; (2) In Open Hearth
Steel furnace, especially with the
basic process, to make more fluid
the Stag, to help carry off phosp-
horous. and TO reduce the sulphur;
(3) In the Foundry cupola, to
make Iron more Fluid, permit the
use of greater quantities of the
lower grades and Of scrap and to
reduce impurities; az In Cruel
bles in Brass Fonndries with the
most astonishing results.
In the blast furnace, the smslt-
ing Of vsiy refractory ores is al
most impossible without Auor
spar.
DR., Foehr, who has already been
quoted, claims that One part of
Fluor Spar goes further than Ten
parts of limestone.
The demand for huor spar Is
rapidly increasing, and the supply
is inexhaustible, although limited
in America to these three count
les.
Another popularity of this
territory. and one that is instantly
noted by every snginssr, and in
weston coming here, is the presence
in working quantities Of three
essentials TO iron and steel making,
viz: Coking coal, iron ore, and
fiux or Auor spar. The coaiis in
the famous Bell or Tradswater,
lying ten miles east Of Marion, and
extensively produced from numer-
Gus mines on a vein from four to
five feet in thickness. Ten miles
southwest of Marion is belt Of
brown hematite iron ore, extend
ing through Crittenden, Livings-
ton and Lyon counties, and around
Grand Rivers. .,,,r.
The location of all these raw
materials is such close proximity,
and in unlimited quantities, tSa-
versed by the Illinois Central rail
road, and the Ohio and Cumber-
land rivers, shows at glance the
wonderful possibilities of this
field. There is singular, and pro-
badly fortunate lack of speculative
stock companies. Every company
now here seems satisfied with its
property, and instead OF desiring
to sell is purchasing more, and
none of it is permitted to remain
dormant. Future developments
bid fair to make II the richest
mining and industrial belt in
America.

sale, and sufficient pay ore has
been taken from the shaft every
day to cover all expense.

all corporations of ample capital,
are hurrying developments on
their properties, and securing sui
table machinery for handling the
ores. The Eagle Co., operating
twelve miles from Marion, has its
mill nearly completed, and within
thirty days will begin crushing
and separating ore, a which it al
ready had several thousand tons
mined. A few days ago some
Louisville parties acquired the
Columbia lands, five miles from
Marion, consisting of 1000 acres,
and now have a large force Of men
working day and night opening up
mines. This property is generally
recognized as the best in the ter
ritory.
Notable, for more than local rsa-
sons, is the fact that until this
field was opened up this country
drew its entire Amply Of fluor spar
from Germany and England, for it
is found commercially in the Uni
ted States only in this locality.
Today all the auor spar consum-
e1 in America, except on the At
lantic coast, is shipped from Mar
ion, KY, and Rosi Glare, ILL.,, on
the Ohio river. Foreign spar, al
though inferior in quality, is still
sold extensively in seaboard cities,
where it is imported as ballast, and
admitted free of duty, selling for
81, per ton. Since freight rates
from Marion to New York amount
to nearly that sum, domestic spar
is denied that market. 81
Fluor spar or Auoride ofcalcium
is one of the rare occurrences OF
fiuoride compounds in nature, and
is used in the manufacture of hy-
droAuorie acid, and opalsscsnt

enamblers, and in potteries. How

to the census recently taken, is 1898,
which is an increase of ia, the census
of 1890 giving the town 2,2S4 inhabi-

With the suburbs which are not in
