JOHN GRAYoT's SPEECH

JOHN GRAYoT's SPEECH.
Hon. John l.. Grayot next took
the stand. At the commencement
Of his speech be was rather hoarse
but this gradually wore off and he
soon launched into one of his
characteristic rafting, roaring tor
rents of argument aud eloquence
A large portion of his address WAS
devoted to the dastardIy conspira-
cy 10y which Gov. William Goebel
was deprived of his life. He show
ed how the conspiracy had been
Matched by the leaders of the Re
publican party at Frankfort and
carried TO its fatal issue by the
bringing of those hordes OF wild
and dangerous mountain men to
the State capital, aud he describ-
ed IN pathetic language the track
of the assassin's bullet AS 1t sped
on it's deadly GRAND from the win
dow of Caleb Powers office into
the vitals of lite distinguished vic
tim, and denounced the inhumani-
ty of w. ;. Taylor, who, instead of
rushing forward to the assistance
of his fallen foe, as every instinct
of humanity should have prompt
ed, stood calmly and ooldly view
ing the bleeding human ruin.
Mr.. Grayot also paid his re-
spects to his young competitor,
Mr. Walter A. Blackburn; said he
had never practiced law, never had
case in court, either as proseou.
tor or defendant. and that under
the terms of the statute he was in
eligible to the office, even if elect
ted: that he had not been a prac-
tlcing lawyer for four years, as
the statute requires, nor for one
year. nor one month. He said that
Walter A. Black burn, in prosehut-
ing case with such men as Ollie
James or Allie Moore as his oppo-
nents, would be but a pigmy to
those legal giants.
Mr.. Grayot said he had defeat
ed such hrst.class lawyers as Allie
Moore and Charlie Gresham for
the office, and he hoped the Lord
has no such humiliation in store
for him AS a defeat at the hands of
such small potatoes as WsltersA.
Black burn.
Mr.. Grayot has made one of the
best and most successful Prosecu-
ting Attorneys the district has ev-
Or had. He has fully equaled the
bright legal record of Henry Pow
oil; he is one of the most popular
men in the district, and you can
bet your last ten cent piece that

In prospecting on the Catnarine
White property, controlled by the
Crittenden Mining company, a
body of surface huor spar more
than II feet wide has been uncov-
ored at the junction of two veins
near the zinc shaft on the same
ground. This huor spar is of the
same makeup IN color and density
rs the Memphis Mine product,
which is rated the best in the dis
trict. John Harpending, who has
prospected the district very thor
oughly, says that this is the Mem
phis vein, and judging from the
several assures existing in this
ground an ore body of great mag.
will be met with. At the
present time it looks as if this pro-
perty carried the initial or mother
lode of that portion of our mining
district. A rather odd feature is

Harry Watkins informs b Q
PRESS that at the Davis coal pro-
perry north of Sturgis, where sew
eral of our local capitalists are en-
baged in erecting tipple, open
ing on coal vein and otherwise
putting up a goth century coal
producer, body of natural gas
was struck in boring for water that
is the real thing The gas was
lighted and a stream 40 feet high
was left burning for "a hours,
when it was capped off. 1t would
not surprise any one in Marion if
the Blue Nunn-Sayre- Fl a y n g.
Maxwell Gugenheim crowd that
own the coal property should
strike anything from fre-clay to
platinum. Harry Watkins would
make them a splendid advance
agent.

The Crittenden Mining Compa-

with a capitalization of 100000
It's object is to mine aud market
huor spar, zinc and lead ores, as
well as clays and earths. The pro-
perty already owned by this COM

developed mining land. Some tif-
teen prospect shafts have already
been sunk, more than two.thIrds
Of that number being in huor spar

company are as follows: Mrs Ma

1t is reported on very good au-
thority that the Hsureys-father
and son-of Marion, have purch-
ased the Boynton lead property in
Trigg county, mentioned in the
Press last week.
As a purely lead proposition the
nearly 200 acres comprising this
property carries heavier body of
galena in a we'll defined vein thsn
the same class of property does in
this district; that is, it is neither
mixed with zinc ore or huorspar,
and for that reason is much cas-
Ter and more profitable ore to han
die, as it is worth $50 per ton
Good mining work there will like
ly develop a great property.

about digging a we'll in the ex-

he dug the we'll down sixteen feet

hole, he promptly fell out from the
bottom of the we'll.

Mr. Press Maxwell the President
of the Kentucky Fluorspsr COM

Editors table for several months.
Ever since Mr. Maxwell took hold
of that coal deal at Sturgis he has
been more or less naughty in his
actions towards people who are not
stockholders IN coal mines, and
passes them by with sort of
supercilious below zero look that
means 10 cents a bushel for coal

Strenuous efforts were made at
a meeting of the Joplin zinc pro-
ducers on Saturday last to further
curtail the output of ore. En- lugh
signers to this movement have
been secured to cut off at least t.
600 tons. These mines will shut
down on Oct. % for one week and
the probabilities are that at least
30 per cent. of the usual output
will be lacking.
The reserve in the Kansas Mis-
souri, district has dwindled to g.
800 tons, a trihe over 80 per cent.
of the amount at the same period

ment If output of 1000 tons the
