THE COUNTY AND ITS RESOURCES.

The dark and bloody ground,
made famous by the exploits and
adventures of Daniel Boone in his
many encounters with the Indians
is developing into veritable trea-
sure house. Always ranking high,
SO far as its agricultural resources
are concerned, its shipments in
minerals bids fair to exceed in
money value the combined crops
of tobacco, corn and wheat, and
the great droves of fat beeves and
the thousands of marketable hogs
that day by day and month by
month are headed towards the con-
sumers in our great cities. Indeed
it would be no exaggeration to
state that the Iron and Steel in
-d.,stry of the Uaitsd States is
largely indebted to these three
counties for that almost indispens-
able aid to the production of our
finest steel-huor spar. 1t is more
than probable that the canny
Scotchman, Carnegie, would not
have undertaken the production of
armor plate for our battle ships,
even at the enormous price con-
tracted, something over SlOO per
ton, had not this small area in
Southwestern Kentucky been able
to supply him the necessary huor
spar for his open hearth steel.
MARION, THE COUNTY SEAT
Marion, the county seat OF Crit
tenden and the natural shipping
point for great portion OF the
entire district, is most pleasantly
situated amid tree crowned hills,
and is blessed with most agreea-
BILE climate. The charming hospi-
tally extended by the citizens to
the stranger, regardless of the
point of compass from whence he
came, has made Marion fav orite
stopping place for both the tourist
and business man. Crittenden
Springs, a lovely drive of six miles
is favorite resort during the sum-
mer season, for large parties OF la
dies and gentlemen from Evans
vile, Louisville, st. Louis and
other Southern cities. The hotel
at the springs contains one humid
red rooms, single and ell suite, the
table combining the abundance
and hospitality of the South, with
Old Kentucky cooking, modified
somewhat by the foreign airs and
graces of the French chef. The
spring house is situated at the base
of the blue grass covered hill on
which the hotel stands, like tur-
reted castle in the black forest of
Germany. The water is sulphur
most decidedly sulphur, and it is
frightened by the constant upward
passage of diamond like scintilla-

fingers at panics and rumors of
panics.
The tobacco is finally pressed
into large casks and shipped to
Liverpool, from whence it is re-
turned to America in tastefully
enamelled tins, with English trade
mark, and we cheerfully pay a dol
lar per pound for it, the Kentuck-
ian receiving perhaps six cents;
and yet we are blamed for hating
the English. The stemmery pro-
per is situated in the basement of
these buildings, where the stems
are removed from the leaves, the
labor being entirely colored; the
work, which requires a quick eye
and hand, is almost universally &C
companied by the weird, semi
religious melodies of the colored
race-a particular favorite SEEM
ingly is
"Where has old Dives gone to,

and the wind up of this rather
hard hit on old Dives invariably

who has few or many dollars to in

some dividends to their stockhold-

the country or its resources will

of the representatives of Marion's
financial institutions.
The city has many handsome,

article of this character. The High
School house is of the latest and

ding architecture, and is provided
with finely educated corps of in

the brightest boys and girls that
any section of the country can

are of such magnitude that the
production and shipment of the
past few years, amounting to hun
dreds of thousands of tons, have
scarcely left an impress upon the
surface of even SO small an area.
1t would be quite impossible for
either the professional or amateur
geologist or mineralogist to trav-
erse this most interesting section
without passions of wonder and
delight. The fossiiferous rocks
alone are surprise to the geolo-
gist, the ores and earths that meet
the eyes of the mineralogist excite
his warmest al miration. Indeed
the grouping of these minerals in
their massive veins with we'll de-
fined walls are to the real miner a
welcome message, fully understood
and heartily appreciated.
In no other section of our broad
land does the earth bestow upon
its habitents such easily acquired
and such saleable productions as
are here found.
IMMENSE FIssURE VEINS.
There are five great, well defined
assure veins crossing the country
from points Numerically opposite
to the commonly accepted direc-
ton in which such veins run.
The Columbia vein runs from
Weston, Kentucky, on the Ohio
river, aud extends to Pinckney-
vtlle, on the Cumberland river, a
distance of fifteen miles. This
: vein is essentially lead and zinc
filled assure. The production of
lead alone from the Columbia shaft
has been very large. The zinc is
in the form of carbonate and sill
cate and at water level a rich
blende, both orange .colored and
black, can be raised in great guam
titles.
The LaRue or Franks vein eX-
tends from Fords Ferry, on the
Ohio river, passing through Crit
tenden and Livingston counties to
Mineral Point on the Cumberland
river. This is also strong lead
and zinc assure and is similar in
many respects to the Columbia.
The Tabb vein, from near Pink
NEVILLE, on the Cumberland river
through the Southern part of Crit
tenden county to the northern por-
ton of Caldwell county, distance
of ten miles.
The Marion vein, starting near
Pinckneyville and extending south
west through Marion, a distance
of sixteen miles There is large
quantities of huor spar, as we'll as
L
lead and zinc found throughout
this vein.
The Holly vein crosses at right
angles the four veins mentioned
above, and extends from the Holly
mine through Caldwell county.
Thousands of tons of huor spar
have been raised from this vein.
The floor of the Holly shaft
is now heavily impregnated with
orange colored zinc blende, easily
concentrated and smelted.
Naturally there is found from
time to time, in connection with
these larger veins, spurs or angles
that ramify in various directions
from the main leads and are
strongly mineralized with the same
character of ores that fill the main
assures. The farmer in blowing
his fields occasionally uncovers a
handsome vein of huor spar, lead
or zinc, striking illustration OF
which is noted at the main shaft
of the Chicago Mining Company,
situated a few rods south of the
Illinois Central railroad station at
Marion and directly adjacent to
the railroad tracks. Mr.. Bigham,
the owner of the land, noticed a
thin wedge of fluor spar and de.

The foregoing is brief review
of a mineral section of the coun-
try but little known to the outside
world. Situated on a great trunk
railway, and midway between two
navigable rivers, it offers to the
man of moderate capital opportu-
mites seldom afforded. There is
a great and growing demand for
every mineral OF earth here men,
toned at very profitable prices
Both lead and zinc ores, as we'll as
the other species of mineral can
be disposed of at home. 1t is one
of the most attractive business
enterprises that any man could
possibly desire.
