London, May IA. / a m.-AH the Conserva tive
and Liberal members of the House Of Commons
were only the other day opposed to Mr. Dillon.
Yesterday the House was with him to a man.
and he was loudly cheered when he directed Mr.
Balfours attention to the action OF President
Roosevelt in recommending an immediate ap-
Preparation Of $4,000 for the relief OF the suf-
ferers in the West Indies, and asked whether
the British Government intended to take steps
similar in character Mr.. Balfour stated that
every assistance that could be given the
spot by the government would be given, but
ne was astounded al the bare idea OF granting
vote for which there was no precedent. The
situation is singular one The government is
anxious TO show its sympathy in a practical
way. and the House of Commons is anxious to
pass vote, yet nothing be done. because
OF the records. Other Parliaments have estab
hshed no precedent in the matter. Mr. Bafour
informed the House that the question OF relief
for the sufferers OF Martinique and St Vim
cent was under consideration by the Cabinet,
but Mr. Dillon was not satisfied with this
surance' and he proposes to ask Mr. Balfour
again to-day 70 state definitely what the gov

A BRIEF SUMMARY
OF Work Accomplished by the
Legislature.

The Legislative mill has ceased
to grind and its work, which is
said to have been the most prolific
for twelve years, is now before the
people for their verdict. One hun
dred and thirty-one measures were
turned out, one fourth of which
relate to the cities of Louisville,
Lexington and Covington.
While there were not many bills
passed that are SO very important,
there were many killed that meant
much mischief to the people. The
duty of a legislator is just as i'm
perative to detect these evils, and
destroy them, as to invent and Sc
cure the passage of meritorious
ones. A Legislative session, every
two years, is constitutional evil
that the people must endure for
sixty days, and they take desper-
ate chances in the ordeal, and
should feel proud if they come out
no worse than they started. If
the sessions were four or six years
apart there would be some delay,
no doubt, in securing the little
needed legislation fathered by me-
cessity, but there would be fewer
opportunities for the Legislative
pirates and jugglers to get in their
work; therefore l am convinced
that longer period should sepa-
rate Legislative years.
The Revenue bill became law
Just before the gavel fell, after one
of the most stormy contests of the
session. 1t was compromise by
the Senate striking out the CAPT
tol appropriation clause sand the
House yielding the privilege to
assess national banks the same as
state banks. The national banks
had their friends" in the Senate,
who we're determined to carry
their point, or have no revenue
bill at all. So in the last hour
they threw their capital friends"
overheard and dictated their own
desire to the House, which they
could but accept.
We shall have no new capitol
for two years at least. The defeat
of the measure may be attributed
to several causes; blnnder in
drafting original bill; the mistake

and the Blue 81 Num- property,
averages some $4,000 pounds daily
and constantly increases as greater
development is made.
81
A very pleasant interview was
had with Mr.. f. b, Trout, manag-
ing director of The National Lead,
Zinc and Fluor Spar Co. of Cleve-
land, Ohio, regarding the works to
be erected at the Marble mine,
Fredonia. We stated in a general
way in our last weeks issue that a
plant was contracted for and today
we are enabled to give many of
the details.
The mill building will be 2SxS0,
very heavy frame being used.
Besides this there will be the boi-
Ter and engine rooms, of size suffi-
cient for 70 horse power. Cooley's
latest patented jigs will be install
ed, of sufficient capacity for 300
tons daily. The breaking and
crushing machinery, as we'll as the
jigs, will be furnished by Mr.. Ell
more, of Joplin, who was here a
few days ago. 1t is thought that
the three shafts now in operation
will supply ore sufficient for the
maximum capacity of the plant.
Mr.. Trout states that the average
of the entire vein will run as fol-
lows: Lead II per cent, zinc 3 per
cent, the balance being largely
Auor spar, with more or less CAL
cite.
1t is the intention of the compa-
ny, Mr. Trout states, to grind their
clean, high grade huor spar, for
the acid and glass works, and a
spelter furnace may be erected in
the near future if the zinc should
prove to increase in the vein as
rapidly as it has done the last 20
feet of sinking. Zinc and lead
furnaces in this district will be a
necessity should developments be
made as everything now indi-
Gates.

The Kentucky Fluor Spar Co.
shipped a Car of their second grade
fiuor spar up to Mineral Point,
Wis, last week, for the purpose of
testing the jigging process to re-
move the calcite and galena. The
cleaned product showed that this
method will prove extremely sat
isfactory in utilizing a large per
centage of the inferior product, as
a number one grade, bringing it
to what is called grinding quail
ity."
The Smithland Courier says that
the Pittsburg Fluor. Spar and Mi
ming Company are pushing work
on their property near the Cum
berland river, a short distance
from Smithland. 1t IL stated that
tramway will be built from the
mine to the river, for the purpose
of more cheaply moving the large
output of No. / huor spar which
the vein contains. +. M. Bernard,
the manager of this company, is
having more or less work perform
ed on the company's property at
Golconda, Illinois, ON the north
bank of the Ohio. The report OF
large vein of solid lead on this
property should be taken with a
grain of salt, as nature never does
business in that way. Solid lead
must come from the smelters, not
from the ground.
~
Our people throughout the
counties of Crittenden and Liv-
ingston should remember that a
we'll filed vein of galena, carbon
ate or huor spar is worth a great
deal OF money. They should not
be in too great haste to part
with their homes and farms either
on royalty leases or by direct pur-
chase. @. S. knight, of 1T Wayne
and ID. @. Griffith, of Indianapolis
have within the past few weeks
closed contracts for the purchase
OF several hundred acres of land
the cream of the mineral veins in
these two counties. The property
obtained by these gentlemen for q
few thousand dollars is worth more
than City times the amount paid,

trict. we prefer that our own PEG.

remuneration for the property
