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 al impress upon the
surface of even so small an area.
1t would be quite impossible for
either the professional or amateur
geologist or miheralogist to trav-
erse this most interesting section
without expr essions of wonder and
delight. The fossiliferous rocks
alone are surprise TO the geolo-
gist, the ores and earths that meet
the eyes of the mineralogist excite
his warmest ad miration. Indeed
the grouping Of these minerals in
their massive veins with we'll do
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 PIssURE VEINS.
There are tive great, we'll 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
filed assure. The production Of
lead alone from the Columbia shaft
has bssn very large. The zine is
in the form of carbonate and sill
cate and at water level rich
blende, both orange 'colored and
black, can DO 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
tendon county to the northern por-
tion of Caldwell county, distance
of ten miles.
The Marion vein, starting near
Pinokneyville and extending south
west through Marion, a distance
of sixteen miles. There is large
quantities Of duor spar, as we'll as
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 fiuor spar
have been raised from this vein.
The floor of the Holly shaft
is now heavily impregnated with
orange oolored 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 uncoyers a
handsome vein of fiuor spar, lead
or zinc, a striking illustration or
which is noted at the main shaft
of the Chicago Mining Company,
situated 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

increasing the value OF the ores
by very strong percentage. In
several of the fuor spar mines,
notably the Tabb, the Yandell and
the Holly, kidneys and large cubes
of galena occupy portion of the
vein, and are separated very easily
from the spar. Tho LaRue, the
Tabb and the Holly veins through
out their entire length carry both
lead and zinc. So far, no ores of
lead other than galena have been
noticed, although in such lime
formation we may expect carbonate
of lead in quantities.
THE ORES OF ZINC.
Four of the great veins men,
toned above are very prolific in
zinc. The Holly shaft at 60 feet
depth displays an astonishing
amount of orange colored zinc
blende; the same class of blende
is noticed in quantities in 20
foot vein in what is known as the
Bibb shaft on the same vein. The
zinc blende in this enormous vein
is disseminated very thoroughly
throughout the entire width, The
analysis of this ore is

perty owned by Messrs Blue d

Zinc oxide .64.S
Four-fifths of this zinc oxide is
pure zinc, and it often contains
some cadmium. Another form of
zinc which seems to be in profu-
sion in several of our veins, is sill
icate of zinc. Very fine examples
of massive character are found
on nroperty owned by Mr.. G. M.
Miller, of Canton, Ohio. Indeed
zinc is very evenly distributed
throughout this entire mineral
section. 1t being in we'll defined
assure veins, with perfect walls,
! its mining will be very much cas-
Ter and cheaper than in most zinc
districts. An analysis of zinc sill
icate shows:

There are several other ores of
zinc which will no doubt be found
in this district, from time to time,
as more developments are made.
Only two ores of the metal cadmi-
um are known, but it exists with
zinc in zinc blende in the Bib
shaft and at times in both car
Donate of zinc and zinc silicate.
Cadmium is white like tin and is
SO soft that it leaves a trace upon

There are extensive veins of ba-
rytes located in at least two sec
tons of the district; the one which
the Illinois Central railroad cuts
through just south of the Mexico
station, being perhaps superior in
color and composition to the 9th
ers. The comparative cheapness
with which this product can be
mined and shipped will ere long
bring it into competition with less
favored localities, as it is almost
snow white, of very heavy specific
gravity, and has the lustre or crys-
utilization of freshly oorroded
white lead. Kaolin, potters clay,
pipe clay, red and yellow ochre,
lumber, and fire clay abound in ma
ny sections of the district.

$4,000 1t is alleged that the 9th of last
July the defendant was knocked off his BIZ
cycle by a blow from car of the defend

and painfully injured.
Suit-at-laW has been instituted by Frank
E. Allen, through Attorneys Duvall and
Colbert, against James H. McGill to recover
damages in the sum of $4,000. 1t is al
legged that December 90 1899, at the prem
1ses of McGill, Sd and r streets northeast,
some cement in barrels was being placed
in wagon. According to the plaintiff, one
of the barrels was negligently thrown
against the landing board, or skid attached
to the wagon, which caused the skid to in
jure the leg of the plaintiff to such an ex-
tent that amputation was deemed neces-
Sary.

Dollar Gas,
From the New York Times,


With the beginning Of the year 1901 the
legal price of gas to meter consumers in
New York reached 81 per thousand cubic
feet the minimum figure of the progressive
reduction from 125 provided for in the
act of 1896 1t will be remembered that
when this act was under consideration the
representatives of the local gas companies
declared that it meant ruin to those who
had invested their money in the gas bust
ness. since it would render dividends i'm
possible when surplus was exhausted.
When made, these statements were be-
lieved by those who made them, no doubt
but systematic economies have materially
reduced the cost of producing gas and SELL
ing it. The reduction of million dollars
in gross earnings for 1901 as compared with
1900 which the change from $1.05 to 81
would show on the 1900 output, has been
discounted, and is not expected to have any
effect upon the market value of local gas
securities; from which we may infer that
no reduction in net earnings is expected
In point of fact, the 1901 business will
probably be more profitable than that Of
1900. The opportunity for increase is in
the day consumption, which now materially
exceeds the night consumption. This ex-
plains why the inroads of the incandescent
electric lamp have not hurt the gas interest
anywhere-eXcept possibly in Russia.
1t does not follow, however, that a seal
ing down of the charges to meter cOnSum-
ers could go on Indefinitely and not destroy
the value of the gas plants supplying New
York. At the present prices of coal and
petroleum, a dollar a thousand is as low
price as the legislature would be justified
in fixing as maximum charge to meter
consumers. The gas business should
be profitable, for the excellent reason that
1t gives no assurance Of stability, and the
interests of the consumer would not be pro-
NOTED by making 1t improbable by statute.
the practice of sordid economies, nor for an
arbitrary policy in dealing with consumers

Ordination Ceremonies Last Night At
All Souls Church.

All Souls Church.
The ordination to the Christian ministry
and the installation Of Rev. John Van
Schaick, jr., as pastor of the Church OF Our
Father, Universalist. 18th and L streets
was the occasion last evening of services
Of much interest and impresstveness. A
large congregation assembled in the audi
tortum OF the church, the interior OF the
edifce being appropriately decorated. and
the new minister entered upon his career
amid surroundings and under circum-
stances of the most encouraging character.
After the congregation had sung hymn
Rev. w. w. Curry Of this city read the
service and offered prayer. Rev. Alexander
Kent, pastor of the Peoples Church Of this
city, led the people in the responsive read
ing Of Psalm. The Scripture lesson was
read by Rev. DR.. Henry N. Couden, and
after an anthem, sung by the choir, a ser
mon was delivered by Rev. Charles H.
Eaton, D. D., pastor of the church of the
Divine Paternity, New York city. The text
was taken from ST. Luke, His word Is
power
The speaker said that the teaching of
Christ is the example for the most effective
preaching and one that should be followed
by all ministers. The power of the pulpit
he defined as lying in the truth announced
and the disclosures it makes in the work of
man, empha sized when the minister en-
bodies his faith and conduct in Christian
brotherhood. In conclusion he said: ''The
Universalist Church takes the most ra-
tional view of Christianity and religion of
any denomination to be found in the world
today, and l am glad to welcome into it's
ministry young man who has fought his
way to realization of it's great belief"
Rev. LIE Grand Powers, Ii. D., offered
the prayer of ordina ton. which was fol-
lowed by propounding to the candidate for
the ministry the prescribed questions. Rev.
John Coleman Adams, D. D., pastor of All
Souls Church, Brooklyn, extended the
hand of fellowship, prefacing this ceremony
with some pertinent remarks.
The charge to the minister was then given
by Rev. w. w. Dean, and the charge to the
people by Rev. Anthony Blikovskv of Bal
ttmore. The services were brought to
close with the benediction offered by the
new pastor
