Sparvetta Mine Abandoned. .

Operations have been suspended at the
plant Of the Sparvetta Mining Company.
north of town. The pumps have been
drawn from the quarry hole, which is
rapidly filling with water. and the mill is
being dismantled and machinery shipped
ELSEWHERE. The quarry hole had gotten
so deep in following the vein of good
spar as to render the work of getting out
the mineral very tedious, dangerous and
expensive, hence the abandonment Of the
plant.
For months and months the pumps
have been kept going continuously at this
plant pumping water from the quarry,
flowing in from strong springs. Just
think Of it, an inexhaustible stream Of the
very finest of sparkling, pure spring
water has been flowing from four-inch
pipe, and virtually going to waste all this
time. right within easy piping distance of
town, while a large portion of its citizens
have been experiencing the inconven-
ience Of the meagerest sort of supply
for household necessities, but few of the
wells withstanding the strain of the long
drouth of fall and winter
It would seem, under existing condi-
tons at least, that there might be public
spirit enough in our town to at any rate
investigate the probable cost Of water
supply for Rising Sun from this easy and
sure source, but such, we regret toasay, is
not the case, and it doesn'tspeak volumes
to our credit.
