PHOSPHATE is InExHAusTIBLE.
An Expert Gives a Few Pointers on
Phosphate Industry-Says the
Supply Will Never Run Out.

do you think the phosphate de-
posts of Polk county will ever give
out?" was the question asked a few
days ago by the Gil. reporter Of a
gentleman who is engaged in the
business in this county. He replied:
Not as long as you and / or our
children live" He went on to tell of
the phosphate industry in a manner
that showed he was conversant with
the subject and knew what he was
talking about.
During the conversation this gen.
tleman stated that the industry was
in its infancy, and the end could not
even be guessed at, much less seen.
He spoke in glowing terms of the
deposits in Polk county, stating that
she was especially favored with an
abundance of the finest phosphate
known He spoke of a new plant be-
ing erected about mile this side Of
Fort Meade, just the other side of
Pembroke, and stated that there was
strong probability of another plant
being erected on the Gartner place at
Pembroke. He seemed of the opinion
that the deposits in both places were
good, and you'd yield heavy returns.
Speaking of the first new plant,
the reporter has been informed that
this will be one of the largest in ex.
istence, and will employ big force
of hands. This plant will prove of
great benefit to Fort Meade from a
commercial standpoint.
The mining of phosphate in the
western portion of the county has
proven one of the greatest industries
we have, and as a consequence a
town has sprung up that is today one
of the largest trading centers in the
country. Mulberry is the place, and
year in and year out, her merchants
do lively business, all due to the
phosphate enterprises, by which it is
surrounded The C.-I. rejoices in the
fact that such live town has been
built up in Polk county, and we are
pleased to note that it is making
rapid strides toward the proportions
of city.
Going further up the line one
comes in contact with another trio
of phosphate mines-the Electric,
Pebbledale and Green Bay companies,
who are all working overtimeNto keep
up with the demand. In another direc-
ton one comes too Dominion and Tt
ger Bay-both plants doing all they
can in twenty-four hours, and still
failing to meet the demand. With all
this in view and then give us the
promise that there is no end to the
supply, and we are bound to remark
that Polk county is indeed especially
favored in the phosphate business
