TRADEWATER SURVEY.
Congressman Allen Asks for An
Appropriation for the River.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Repre-
sentative Allen appeared before
the Rivers and Harbor committee
this morning and requested that a
sufficient amount of money be ap-
propriated for surveying Trade
water and Pond rivers, with the
view of determining their practi-
cability for navigation. Mr. Allen
believes the survey will be author
lied. The committee seemed ia
vorably impressed with his argu-
ment and asked a number of ques-
tions about the locality through
the rivers flow.

ProfitIess Advertising.

What an amount of money is
spent annually in profitless adYer-
Using! More cash is sunk in cir
culars, in dead wall displays, and
in programs than would be requir-
ed to fill the pages of the newspa-
pers with profitable announce
ments every day in the year, and
yet business men keep right on,
wasting their money in these me-
diums.
1t is easy enough for merchants
to prove the relative value of these
different forms of publicity as
compared with straight newspaper

Did you personally ever go and
buy anything to which your atten-
ton had been called by circular?

Central railroad, four and one half
miles from Frances. 1t costs only
20 to 40 cents a ton to get the spar
mined and from sixty five cents to
one dollar and quarter to haul
by wagon to Mexico.
The Hodge mine, said to be the
largest and best paying spar mine
in the world, is only one and
half miles from Frances. 1t puts
out from forty to sixty tons day.
Mr.. johnnie Hodge, upon whose
land this mine is located, it is said
gets three thousand dollars a year
as royalty, while the operators of
this mine receive from this prop
erty and some other mines in the
county net income of more than
four hundred and fifty dollars per
day.
The Yandell and Tabb and the
Tabor are the names of some of
the other mines, all within a radi.
us of three miles of Frances, or
Needmore. They are ell doing a
fine business, and new mines are
being opened every week. Yet it
is not question of how much can
be sold, but how much can be fur
nished. Spectators are begging
for contracts for the entire output
for the next five or ten years.
No field in Kentucky promises
such magnificent returns for the
small capital with intelligent eff
fort as the fuor spar fields of Crit
tenden and Livingston counties,
not even excepting the coal oil
fields. Besides fuor spar, they
have lead and zinc in great abun-
dance and some little silver.
Indeed that whole section will
soon be honey combed by the in
dustrious miner, and that country
that seemed fit only for sassafras
sprouts, broom sage and dirt dob
bers viii soon be made to blossom
as the rose, and prosperity and
plenty will abound everywhere

LOCAL OPTION.
The Bill Making the County .
Unity May Pass.

There Is going to a hard fight
over the Farris Local Option Bill,
which is practically the Roberts
Local Option Bill Of last session.
II makes the county the unit in
deciding the question Of local OPP
ton, so that IL a majority of the
voters in county vote dry" there
can be no liquor sold in any part
Of That county. Under the pres
ent law one district OF the county
might vote dry" while another
might vote wet" Counties hav-
ing large towns or cities under the
proposed option law would would
almost invariably vote wet" IL 10
claimed, while in the counties con
tanning smaller town IL is said the
opposite result would be reached.
AT any rate the county unit rule
has been a bone Of sharp conten-
ton between the prohibitionists
and those who favor the sale of H.
quor. A poll Of the two houses by
interested persons is said to have
resulted in the discovery that the
friends of local option have a ma
jority Of about two to one in the
Senate and of nearly three to one
in the House, as matters stand
now. Therefore, il is believed that
the fight over this question this
year will be equally as exciting as
it was when the Roberts Bill was
before the Legislature.

THE LEGISLATIVE WORK.
A Number Of Bills Passed..
Distinguished Visitors.
DEAR Press: Another week has


passed since l took pleasure in
speaking with you. The wheels
OF legislation have made but few
revolutions during that time Sew
eral bills relating TO Louisville and
its complicated government have
passed both houses, and tho pro-
posed measures for that city alone
would consume the time Of the le-
gislature till the 4th Of July.
A bill placing the punishment
OF local option offenders in the
hands Of the magistrates and po-
lice courts, for final trial, passed
the house by almost unanimous
vote; a similar bill passed the
senate.
A bill 10 abolish the state board
Of equalization, or 10 restrict its
powers greatly, 10 looked upon
with great favor and will probably
become a law.
The senate passed Cantrill's bill
TO prevent the use of paris green
on tobacco, and il will next engage
the attention OF the house. Your
humble servant would like 10 hear
from the tobacco growers Of his
district on that subject.
Capitol appropriation talk has
steadily gone down. till you can
scarcely find any one TO converse
with you on that subject, except
II be an exponent OF Louisville or
Lexington fitness. or the ideal city
TO which we could, with equal Dig
nifty and propriety transfer that
magnificent structure. erected on
paper, TO a material foundation Of
rest forever.
A score Of celebrated Missouri
ans, headed by four ex-governors,
who claim Kentucky as their ma
tive place, will pounce down upon
us this week and endeavor, under
the brilliant festal lamp, through
the wines rosy glow, with the en-
uancing melody OF the worlds
sweetest music, TO cause us to
open "the old empty stocking"
and take therefrom 100000 to
advertise Kentucky at the great
Exposition. Well, Mr.. Editor,
you have "beon there" and of
course you know that the best pol
icy is to TRY TO look wise and say
nothing"

The BEGINNING
OF an Industry that will Enrich
Western kentucky.
Development Of Spar Mines Is RsvoIu-
tloniling Crlttsnden County.

Needmore! Yes, Needmore.
that used to be the name of the
little hamlet in the Southwestern
part Of Crittenden county that
now bears the euphoneous name
OF Frances, and was so-called in
honor Of the wife of ex-president
Cleveland.
A representative Of the Tale of
Two Cities made a tour through
the spar fields surrounding that
quaint little hamlet last week and
was astonished at the develop
ments that are taking place there
in mining huor spar, the valuable
mineral that is now revolutioniz-
ing the manufacture and working
of iron and steel.
Nineteen years before the same
pencil pusher was at the same
hamlet. and when he asked the
uame Of their little town and was
told that il was "Needmore," and
when he took look at the impov-
erished soil he became thorough
ly convinced that the name was no
misnomer. and was the most ap-
propriately named town in the
United States.
The town has undergone quite
a change, several business houses
and residences now adorn it, and
the only hotel is kept by Judge
Pogue, father Of the Hon. Marion
Pogue. the popular representative
from Crittenden and Livingston
counties, now at Frankfort, where
he is regarded as one of the best
/ men in the lower bouse. Judge
Pogue is typical Southern gen.
tleman, who delights in reminis.
cenoes Of long ago, and in making
his guests feel at ease and CON-
Portable.
From almost a dreary waste that
section of the country surround
ing Frances has become verita-
BILE bee hive. miners, prospectors,
and capitalists all in rush to bet
ter their financial condition by
developing the spar mining bust
ness.
Almost in a stones throw of
Frances is located the Asbridge |
mines, which we're opened about
two years ago. This mine is wor-
ked by four or five men, and it
was learned that the profits on the
spar taken from that mine last
year was over $1,000. The vein is
almost inexhaustible and it is
claimed can be worked profitably
for the next fifty years.
Within eighty feet of the Ash
bridge mine is the McClelland
mines, which promises to be even
a greater producer of spar than
the Asbridge. The mine has been
opened since the first of Decem-
Der, by Mr.. f, A. McClelland, who
represents an Eddyville company.
He has secured leases and options
on some very valuable mineral
lands, and opened six or eight
small mines, or prospect holes,
two or three becoming paying
mines from the second or third
day after beginning. Mr. McClel-
land is an experienced mineral
man, having been engaged in the
business in Indiana for a
good many years before coming to
Eddyville. He is an expert on
spar and is already quite familiar
with the location and course of
the various spar veins.
Three kinds of spar are found
in seemingly inexbaustible guam
tities-the sand, the gravel and /
the rock spar, which sells at from {
So to SIS per ton. This spar is
