proceed to repair its gross sins Of
omission. Such a huge collection
of seIf-incriminating pledges was
never offered before. Taken plank

The Post-Dispatch says that the
Republicans of Missouri cannot
render opposition to Folks candi-
dacy for Governor without align
ing themselves with the Doodle ele-
ment of the Democratic party
which is antagonistic to Mr.. Folk
and the ''idea' he is popularity sup
posed to represent. Republicans
throughout the state will resent
such imputations, and further
more, there are no surface indica-
tions that the Democratic party
has gotten rid of its boodlers or
that it intends to get rid of them
simply because a man who repro
sents the idea of reform has been
nominated by the party for Cover
nor. Folk is running on the same
ticket with Sam Cook, who by his
own admission was party to the
bribing of a state senator and who
has also been shown to have collect
cd money for the corruption of the
voters from the monopolistic cor
porations, in return for which.
speaking as chairman of the Dem,
eeratic state committee, he prom
issl the corporations immunity
from legislation adverse to their
interests. Cook who represents
the reverse of what Folk stands
for got more cheers from the dele
gates in the convention than were
given Folk. Ed Butler, the boss
boodler OF them all, the leading
spirit in the stupendous municipal
bribery in st. Louis, is still a Dem
ocrat, and has greater influence
than any other man in the party.
Butler is the last man the Demo
Gratis expect to drive from their
party, and he is the last man the
Republicans would take up.

y
at Mineral Point, four miles eas,
of Potosi, an enterprise which
holds out a bright promise Of be-
coming an industry Of vast impor-
tance to this community, supply
ing as i. does home ket for
the most abundant and practically
unlimited mineral product of this
section, we speak of the barytes mill
of the Point Mining and Milling Co.
For year or more the promoters
of this enterprise have been quiet
ly at work putting up mill for
converting barry tes-or tiff, as it is
more commonly known-into Il
valuable commercial product, and
they now have in operation a plant
which is claimed to be the most
modern mill of the kind in the
country. With its improved meth
ods this mill is turning out a finish
cd product of uniform floated
barytes superior in every way to
that turned out by the old process
methods.
Familiar with the raw barytes
through constant association our
people have little conception of the
process by which it is turned into
marketable commodity. There
fore brief description of this
plant is given here.
The mill occupies substantial
three story building, situated con-
venient to the railroad tracks.
Power is furnished by 200 horse
power engine, the steam being
supplied by battery of two boil
ers of $50 horsepower capacity
each. The engine room also con-
tains anair compressor and thirty
five kilowat electric generator for
lighting the mill, as the process of
manufacture is continuous and the
mill runs day and night. The raw
material is received in the crusher
room where it undergoes an initial
cleaning by chirper propelled by
compressed air, which removes all
the dirt and coarser impurities.
From the clipper the ore is fed in-
to an ordinary toggle- Joint crusher,
where it is reduced to small frag-
ments. 1t is then conveyed to the
slip-mills, of which there are two in
the mill. These slip-m mills pulverize
the material in water. The
tiff is reduced to almost incon-
ceivable tineness between granite
grinding stones, the lower stone
stationary and the upper stones,
four in number, swinging upon
extended arms and each capable of
exerting a crushing force of many
thousand pounds. After being re-
duced to proper consistency the
material then goes into the bleach
ing tanks where it comes in contact
with steam and sulphuric acid, by
which means all matter having al
tendency to diseolor the finished
product is blcached out and the
tiff becomes snow white. Then
comes washing to remove the sui
phurie acid and the tiff goes to the
settling tanks, from which it emer-
ges in the form of a white, wet
sludge and is projected upon the
periphery Of a large, steam heated
drying cylinder, and by the time
the cylinder has made one revolu-
ton the material is thoroughly dry
and is scraped off automatically in
to a conveyer, which takes ii to
pulverizer where it is reduced to an

A PROMISING NEW LOCAL ENTERPRISE.
NEW TIFF MILL AT MINERAL POINT OPERATING
May Become the Center of the Baryes Manufacturing Indus

impalpable powder. A blowe,
takes it from the pulverizer and
sends it on to packing machine,
similar to those used in Touring
mills, where it is packed in sacks
holding 100 pounds each. The
whole process Of manufacture from
the time the tiff goes into tho
grinders is automatic.
The Point Mining and Milling
Co. is incorporated under. the laws
of Missouri and is capitalized at
| SO, 200, full paid. VIM. A. Bud
deckc, of St. Louis, is president of
the company; VIM. Il. Macklind,
vice-president and manager, and
VIM. W. Stroop, secretary and
treasurer. The two last named
are in charge of the mill and busi-
ness here. MIR. Macklind, who is
an experienced engineer in addi-
ton to being thoroughly familiar
with the manufacture of barytes, is
the inventor of improvements in
grinding and drying the tiff, and
holds control of these machines.
This is one of the advantages this
company holds over competing
mills, of which we are told there
are only four in the country; an
other is, that they have unlimited
raw material right at the factory
door.
At present the company is en-
ploying % men in the mills and
has about IS miners at work dig
ging tiff. Tiff is also purchased
from local contractors. Besides.
individual! miners, the small farm
er who has tiff deposits on his land,
will find here ready cash mar
ket for his tiff. The company will
lend such mining every encourage
ment.
The capacity of the mill is thir-
ty tons per day of twentyfour
hours. The company expects to
market its products all over the
country and hopes eventually to
control the trade west of the Mis-
sissippi River. Although having
only just opened up operations and
considering the season, they find
inquiries for their product good.
Only one grade of barytes is manu-
factured, which will be known to
the trade as ''Finest Uniform
Floated." Manufactured barytes
finds many uses, the principle one
being as paint pigment. 1t is
also used in the manufacture of
leather, paper, rubber goods, and
in many other ways.
1t is a fact but little known beyond
the narrow confines of The barytes
trade that the boundaries of Wash
ington county hold the largest
available tiff deposits in the coun-
try and that the mines here supply
nearly all the mills now in opera
ton. With mind to this fact
one of the first steps of the Point
Mining and Milling Co. was to Sc
cure large tract of tiff land lying
adjacent to it's plant and it can,
therefore, if the emergency arises,
supply the raw material for the
mill entirely from its own mines.
The promoters of this enterprise
seem confident that in the course
of Il few years Mineral Point will
have become the center of the
barytes manufacturing industry in
this country. May this prediction
be fulfilled.

BARNES SCHOOL CLOSES.
Earnest Address to Boys by Rev. N.
 l.. Anderson.

l.. Anderson.
 The sixth year of the Barnes School came to a close yesterday and was ob- served by appropriate closing exer- cises.
 The feature of the exercises was the address of Rev. Neal l.. Anderson. pas tor of the Central Presbyterian Church. MT Anderson announced that he would make no set speech but would give the boys of the school a heart to heart talk. This he did and the young min ister eloquently spoke words of en- couragement and advice to the schol- ars A boy, he said. should first of all be a boy in the truest sense of the word. Elaborating the point he ex- plained that many boys during their years of boyhood endeavored to assume the airs of man and destroyed the Iovable quality of naturalness so fit tingly held by typical boy. He made the point that a boy should have the qualities that would make him true man, To do this he must have the power and inclination to work. he must have pluck, he must have honesty and he must have truthfulness.
 MT. Anderson elaborated at length on each of these qualities and made a most favorable impression on the stu dents.
 At the close of his address there was singing by the boys of the school and instrumental music by Misses Mary and Frank Barnes.
 Forty certificates of proficiency in various subjects of study were award ed students, many of them being in the languages and higher mathematics.
 Tbe honor roll for the year was an- nounced. The first honor fell to F. J.. Harris and the second to J. M. Tim merman of Prattville.
