THE ALFALFA TRAIN
Met BY a Large Delegation at this
Place tuesday Evening.

The alfalfa train reached Marion at
$50 Tuesday evening, and was met
at the depot by large delegation OF
representative farmers and citizens of
the city, who crowded into the train
to hear the corn lecture and the talk
on alfalfa, which were quite instructive
and interesting.
At 80 the crowd adjourned TO the
court house, where Commissioner
Hubert Nreeland and others lectured
on alfalfa and its possibilities in this
state. We think much interest was
excited in the growth of alfalfa, and
that the alfalfa special train will be a
great benefit to the state.
The party on the special is com
posed of the following. Commissioners
Hilbert Vreeland, Joseph +. Wing,
of Mechanicsburg, o., chief Of the
Alfalfa department; Willis Wing, as
sistant, ID. l.. Duncan, New York II.
C. Crenshaw, assistant commissioner
Of agriculture; w. ii, Scherffius, chief
of the experiment station at Licking
ton; p. c. Holden, corn expert and
commissioner of agriculture of Iowa
r. T. Barnett, of Henderson, repre-
sentative of the Louisville CONNER
cial club.
The train is being sent out as a
kind of railroad school to educate the
farmers at first hand of the value OF
alfalfa as a food crop and of the prsc-
ticability of its being grown in Ken
lucky. Alfalfa, it has been shown,
is one half richer in protein than
clover, and four cuttings of it each
year can be had in this state. 1t i.
the best forage crop in the world,
Horses, chickens, hogs and all kind,
of live stock eat it with relish and
thrive on it.

MINING NOTES.

Mr.. McGinniss, President of the
Keystone Lead and Zinc company of
Pittsburg, and Mr.. SHARED, ano-
Their member of the company were
here last week visiting their mine at
Klondyke, which has lately proven to
be one of the finest in the district,
there being two veins which can be
mined from one shaft, the ore being.
lead and zinc, measuring s feet in
width: said to be as fine grade as has
been found. On same level as this,
which is 200 feet, a cross-cut has
been % #. and cut through vein Of
auor span wb.oh measured II #. 10
inches in width, and its equal in
quality would be hard to beat This
mine, with the good management of
their superintendent, ii. ID. Wolford,
will be one Of the largest producers
of lead, zinc and huor spar in wes-
tern Kentucky. We most heartily
endorse this company for the faithful
ness they have shown at this place.
The Memphis is one of the oldest
spar mines in this district, and has
been worked, off and on, for forty
years. 1t is widely known to all
spar consumers as being the richest
huor spar mine in the world. Some
time ago the Kentucky company star
ted a new shaft several hundred feet
south of the old one, and last week,
at the depth of as #. cross-cut was
driven into the vein of No. / fuor
spar s feet wide. This puts the old
Memphis better looking than it ever
looked before. The company expects
to work the new and old shafts night
and day and expects to mine from
thirty to fifty tons por day.
The Marion Mineral company are
sin king their Pogue shaft fifty feet
deeper. This makes their shaft some
thing like 200 feet deep. At this
depth the company will start more
new levels and overhead slopes. The
company work at this mine night
and day and when drifting have a
large output of fuor spar.
Mr.. John Scheas, of Louisville,
was in town last week and visited the
Commodore mine, of which he is the
largest stakeholder, with Messrs
Whitchouse and Watkins. Mr..
Scheas was well pleased with the lead
prospects, which are now showing up
fine.
The Marion Zinc company have
struck fine vein of Auor spar on the
Akers place, one mile south of the
Memphis vein. They have also star
ted a number of levels on the Riley
mine and are getting out considera-
bic tonnage of Auor spar.
The New Kentucky and the Mat
thews mines, run by the Kentucky
FluOr Spar company, are keeping up
large output.
The Brown, the Red and the Blue
will resume work next week.
