The Chicago Mining Company's
steam hoist was set i'm motion last
Sunday and was the center of at.
traction for Il host of people. The
company's shaft house consists of
two stories. The frame is of l0x12
white oak, thoroughly braced The
second floor will be used as the
tluor spar platform, the refuse be-
ing chuted out to the north while
1.-The spar is dropped direct to the
bins adjacent to the side track of
the Illinois Central railroad. The
separation of the spar from the
clay surrounding it is accomplish
ed by hose of clean water forced
from 800 gallon we'll recently
completed. At 90 feet height the
wire rope from the hosting drum
of double cylender steam engine
passes over the shieve and de-
scends into a 7xl2 shaft, which at
present IS 60 feet in depth. The
boiler of 2O-horse power will also
be used to pipe steam to a number
. pump, which will he located
abont 20 feet from the bottom of
the shaft, and lowered from time
to time, as the depth of the shaft
increases. The engine house was
completed Tuesday last and is lex
Is feet in size. Drifts will be run
both ways on the vein of spar at a
depth of 100 feet, Overhead stope-
ing will then be commenced and
our people need not be surprised
if they find rather busy place in
that vicinity. The spar has dark
color, which is becoming lighter
as the depth is made. 1t is ex-
ceedingly high grade, rarely ana
lying less than % per cent. of cal
cium huoride, and contains but a
trihe of silicon In the prospect
shaft the yield of perfectly clean
spar averages two tons to the foot
of depth.

ger of the Eagle Fluor Spar Go.
at Salem, drove over Sunday al d
was kept busy explaining about |
the handsome vein of galena un-
earthed in the crosscut from the
hundred foot level. So far as
the drills have penetrated, fifteen
feet of at least 80 per cent. galena
has been exposed. The Captain
would make Il mighty good object
lesson for an entire village full of
croakers and pessimists. Com
mencing a large, finely timbered
SHAFT with all tn. appliances that
modern mining affords, he has
steadily kept at work for nearly
two years, regardless of predic-
tions and suggestions and today
he has the satisfaction of practi-
tically seeing his judgment vindi-
Gated and his hopes realized, Such
men are an honor to any mining
district. Captain, Heres to you"
At Sheridan, eight miles north
west of us, one of the strongest
veins of galena yet uncovered in
this district was brought to light
the other day. The son of Mr..
Felix G. Cox discovered a stringer
of galena bearing rock and started
to sink a prospect shaft. Mr.. Cox
ST., with his usual vigor, soon had
a six by six hole six feet deep.

Nearly n thousand tons more

week than--tha- week preceding.
The prices obtained were 500 so

The Illinois Central Railroad in
deep cut three quarters of mile
south of Mexico station passes
through two distinct veins of crys-
tallized barytes. The quality Of
this lead bloom, as it is sometimes
called, is exceptionally iine-of
snow white color, and approaches
the appearance and make up of
the German product very closely.
As the veins are of great width
and adjoin the railroad, there is
but little doubt of very success
full and profitable business being
established at that point. The pro-
duction of barytes during the
year 80 in this country amounted
to 32,636 short tons and was OBJ
tanned from Missouri, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee and Virginia. Mis-
souri, is credited with ~, 1876 tons,
nearly ne-half of the total output,
its barytes deposits being so near
st. Louis, and that city being one
of the largest consumers probably
explains this fact. New and ex-
tensive beds were opened at Cleve-
land, in Bradley county, and about
Sweetwater, in Monroe county,
Tennessee, during the year, Ship
ments from Sweetwater at present
amount to about 40 tons daily,
Baltimore being the receiving
point. Barytes is used largely as
pigment as we'll as an enamel in
pottery and porcelain manufac-
lures. Abroad it is used in the
manufacture of Jasper ware and in
the production of Opaque white
patterns ON a colored ground. 1t

large cubes and kidneys of the
same mineral, This galena will
probably leave the shaft at lower
depth and zinc blende will take
its place. 1t seems a pity that SO
much lead, of SO good a quality,
should not be utilized at once. A
water jacket lead smelter erected
in Marion would give an outlet for
the many small producers and
prove bonanza for its stockhold-
ers.
The output of iluor spar in Ken

year rs compared to 2l,O3O tons,
valued at Sl52,G55 in 1899. This
shows lessening of value per ton
of nearly $l.35, and can only be
accounted for on the ground Of
excessive competition between the
small number of producing COM
panies. Isn't this the proper

Marion extends n very cordial
invitation to President Hearn, of
the Eagle Fluor Spar Company, to
make this city his headquarters.
With the long distance telephone

way, we also want at the helm in
Salem, President Hearn can feel
that his interests are in able hands |
and that he has time to look over
some of the best zinc and lead fill

A letter has been received from
New York, addressed to a leading
law firm here, the writer, a gentle
man fully able to make his propo-
sition good, to erect lead smelter
here in Marion, to buy and smelt
our lead ores. Such plant, while
not expensive, would enable our
people to market their galena at
home, and at the same time prove
very remunerative to the builders.

FARMING PAYS
But il Requires Careful Attention and
Good Judgment as Conducting
Any other Business.

For some time 1t has been apparent 10
people with accumulated capital that s
a business venture farming pays a larger
income on the capital invested than al V
other line of business, and that too, with.
out risk TO the amount Of money in.
vested. The farmer who has sufficient
money e. introduce labor saving devices,
and who employs time.saving methods is
clearing more money on his iuvestment
than any man IN other lines Of business
For tins reason there is movement Of
capital toward investment in farm pro-
perty not for speculation but for an in
yestment for maknga livelihood Many
Of the farmers IN this vicinity have made
living, paid a mortgage given for the
purchase price of the farm, and put up
new buildings out Of the proceeds Of the
farm products. If farm will pay for
itself and support a family, itsurely will
give good return on the investment.
