report on our mining district 10

was our good fortune in the early
inception OF mining here during
the years 1889 and 1890 to have
the benefit Of this gsntleman's mi.

OF zinc and four to FIVE million
pounds Of fiuor spar monthly. be.
sides the various concentrating
plants that are being erected in
different sections Of the distric,
for the handling of our sulphids
ores OF lsAd and zinc.
Professor Ulrioh in this sdyancs
publication OF results and conclu
sions, confirms with additional
emphasis his conclusions of doz
on years ago. We quote in a con
densed form a few Of his very in
teresting statements:
THE district for the first time
in it's history are having numerous
veins and mines systematically
prospeoted and developed"
1T seems probable that a felc
containing mines that were opera
ted with profit for the lead orr
alone, the zinc ores and fluor spal
being left on the dumps, shoulc
under competent and modern
management become a producer
OF importance"
THE roads are bad, condition
common to all new fields. Two.
thirds of the district lie fully five
miles from the Illinois Contra
railroad, which traverse it. Two
nsvigsble rivers, the Ohio and the
Cumberland, are also being used
and this cheap mode of shipment
must exert considerable infu-
sncs on the development of the
field"
THE most marked structural
feature Of this district is an ex-
tsnsivs series Of fractures. All
available evidence tends to the
conclusion that vein deposits oc.
our in all the fractures, where
either one or both walls are lime.
stone, excepting where the frsc.
lures are occupied by peridotits
! dikes. 1t has been proved by de.
vslopments in nearly oil the minel
of the district and nearly all the
promising prospects, that either
the st. Louis or Princeton lime
stone occupy one of both sides Of
the fracture"
"rhere are at least 30 faults In
the district, traoeabls for distances
of from 2 to 20 miles or more. Oh
the subsidiary tissues there are
probably hundreds, and it is my
belief that many of them will
prove more productive for equal
lengths than the veins in the main
faults. Taken as whole the frac-
lures fall into at least two land

Pleasant Words for Judge Stafford.

Of the address delivered at Brattleboro
last week Monday evening by Judge W.
P. Stafford, under the auspices OF the
Woman's Club, the Brattleboro Phoenix
says:
ut was not a favorable evening. the
stores being open and the ground being
covered with snow, which had been tall
ing a large part of the day, nevertheless
the announcement that Judge Stafford
was to speak attracted a large number
to the Congregational church, where the
| address was given. Judge Stafford, who
is one OF the younger members OF the
Vermont supreme court, is not seeking
reputation as distinguished orator, yet
| it is coming to him rapidly. His words
a,e full of flashing FIRE and living truth.
His subject Monday evening was, The
Making OF Vermont, on which he spoke
a full hour. 1t was historical, yet many
of the facts he told were known to COM
paratively few and all OF them were
clothed in way to make them oil thrill
ing interest and to inspire the audience
with admiration for the plucky little
state"
