Washington. ID. c., Feb. AL. {.
G. Mayo has jointed Gen. Percy Haly
here. and the Kentucky senatorial pot
is bubbling at lively rate. 1t would
not surprise members OF the Ken
lucky delegation if there should be
some announcement soon which
would be very interesting to the folks
AT home.
The Washington Post to-day attrib
utes significance to Mayo's presence
here. 1t says:
The meeting of Senator Watson
OF West Virginia, and Mayo in Wash
ington recalls what was much spoken
of during the Charleston contest
the probability that Mayo would seek
to join his friend and business asso-
ciate in the Senate. The ambition
of Mayo is to be Senator from Ken
lucky at the close of the Paynter
term, and the friends of Mayo have
been busy for some time back in
perfecting a state organization"
As Mayo was active throughout
the West Virginia contest, and did
much good for Watson. there can be
careful return OF the compliment
and Watson is, above all else, true to
his friends and loyal to those who
have stood by him. both in business
and politics. Mayo has been a great
business figure in the Eastern Ken
lucky region, and has done much to
develop the coal and timber tracts,
both al Kentucky and West Nir-
ginia. So that he can almost be classed
as beneiactor. He is a bluff coun-
try boy still, and his lack of affecta-
ton and general makeup OF every
day sort has done much to aid him
in building up something of demo
cratic machine in his state.

KENTUCKY MINERALS.

In summarizing some recent work
in the tlourspar district in Western
Kentucky, Mr. f. Julius Fohs, of the
State Geological Survey writes:
The greater number of faults and
assures in the district, the majority
of which carry workable shoots to a
depth OF at least 1000 feet. make GER
tain a large possible tonnage of -four
spar-enough to supply all likely
american demand for at least six
centuries to come. Locally, the lis-
sures carry barytes shoots; but COM
pared with fourspar shoots they are
small in number. though at times OF
great width. twenty feet or more
The by-product lead and zinc is often
sufficient to add materially to the
profits. while in some veins shoots
in which lead and since predominate
would pay to operate on their own
account The Sanders fotaton pro
cess makes possible the separation OF
tlourspar from zinc blende: a custom
mill would be able to operate pro-
ftably on such ores
The hourspar district. it should be
remembered. is embraced in six coun-
ties, Caldwell, Crittenden.. Livingston,
Christian. Lyon and Trigg, and de-
velopment is largely confined to the
first three. The deposits are the
most extensive known in the United
States, but in the past few years the
industry has been somewhat ham,
pered by business conditions. 1t has
always been retarded by reason of
inadequate facilities for transporta-
ton. The information that the -four
spar exists in sufficient quantities to
meet the entire American demand for
six hundred years to come, and that
lead and zinc may be mined in con-
siderable quantities, would appear to
establish the fact that there is a
great future for the industry
These minerals, important as they
are, do not by any means constitute
the mineral resources of the various
counties in the district. Some of
these counties have coal deposits;
Others have iron ore; some, if not all.
have limestone, sands and clays of
great value. We do not hear so much
about the buried wealth of Western
Kentucky as we hear about that of
the eastern part of the State, but it
is there in vast chunks and in great
variety.
