PUD M'T|GUE
IS HOLDING OUT

Pud McTigue, the former Baron hurler
states that he will not sign his contract
with the Boston Braves before he has
an interview with Stallings. As the leader
of the Boston club will not be down this
way before he goes to Augusta for spring
training. McTigue will not have chance
to see him before then.
McTigue believes that the figure Of
fered him by the Boston management is
too small. He doesn't ask for any great
amount, but he is willing to plod along
some time before signing the papers un-
less his figure Is met. McTigue will re-
port TO Augusta to begin training with
the rest OF the Braves. and then will
sign up If all is serene between him and
Stallings.

MRS. EARNEST BUT
LER BADLY BURNED
While Pluckily Fighting Fire..
Painfully But Not Sesiously
Injured.

Wednes lay morning soon after
breakfast was over Mrs. Ernest
Butler discovered that the flue
in the kitchen was on fire and
while she promptly gave the
alarm, she did not wait for VOL
unteers or any one else but went
to work to put the fire out. In
order to reach it she put a box
on the stove and climed on it and
jerked the collar and tnimble
down. When she did this the
hct Goals fell on her face and
breast. Before she could get rid
of them she was badly burned.
In getting down hurriedly off the
box she had put up on top of the
cooking stove which was still hot
she sprained her ankle quite SER
iously and as a result is confined
to her bed and is unable to walk.
Ter hurts are painful but not
serious. Her many friends hope
she will be out soon, Mr.. Butler
who is one of Yandell and Gugen-
helms trusty EMPLOYERS recent
ly moved with his family to Mrs,
Susan Glenn's house and it was
there the fire occurred. 1t was
soon put out with only slight
damage to the house but had il
not been for the quick thougt
and quick work of Mrs. Butler il
might have gotten beyond con
troll. Hurrah for Mrs. Butler we

was disposing red liquor in vio-
lation of local option or county

matter was reported to the coun-
ty attorney and a warrant secur.

his enthusiastic and hisapprecia-

for such meeting.

The dinner was the best, and
in Bro. Robinson's words they
fed us of the grains of the

Several of the drill hole cores
on the Miller carbonate property

The Pigmy mine has a consid-

with calcspar.
The drifts on the Franklin

found IN DOth central and WeS-
tern Kentucky. None of the
mines in the central districts re.
ported any lead and zinc cDncen-
trates in 1912.
In the western Kentucky dis.
trict considerable quantities of
galena concentrates are obtained
solely as a by product in the
recovery and concentration of
fluorspar. The galena recovered
is argentiferons the silver con-
tent varying from a very small
quantity to over three ounces
per ton, but no recovery of this
silver content has been reported
by the smelters for the last two
years.
15l tons of galena concentrates
were shipped from Marion in
1912 having u value of Sc, S27. 90
and carr! ing an average lead
content of 702 per cent. The
metallic content or the concen-
trates was valued at 50. $40. 90.
The quantity of zinc concentrates
shipped increased from 467 short
tons in 1911 to 1243 short tons
in 1912. the total value increas-
ing from SO, ,604. 90 oS41, 991. 90.
The zinc concentrates sold com.
prised 493 tons of sphalerite of
good grade and 750 tons of zinc
carbonate averaging 35.6 per
cent metal content. The esti-
mated recoverable spelter con-
tent was 49l tons valued at
SGT, 75S.00, large increase over
the 1911 output which was 15S
tons valued at SO, $4,000.
The largest producers of galena
concentrates were the Kentucky
Fluorspar Co.; The Roberts
Fluorspor & Lead Co.; the Eagle
Fluorspar Co., and the LaRue
Co. The Eclipse Mining Co., of
Marion, shipped all of the spha.
lerite concentrates which were
derived from the Commodore
mine. The largest shippers of
zinc carbonates was the Lang
enbach Mining Co.. operating
the Mann mine near Lola. Two
shafts about 128 feet deep were
utilized to obtain the ore.
The Sanders Ore Separating
Co., worked the land of the
Marion Mineral Co., and shipped
a good output of zinc carbonate
of high grade.
The unwatering of the Tabb
mine at Mexico. KY, brings to
light number Z Cameron pump
that has remained in the bottom
of that shaft for twenty-seven
years. Brown and Ward were
prospecting for zinc ore at this
shaft in 1886 but the water was
so strong that the work was
abandoned leaving this big pump
at the bottom of the shaft. 1t
was very great satisfaction to
MIR. Frazer who has charge of
this work to find at the 180 foot
level a very high grade body of
fluorspar fully six feet in thick
ness and showing the same on
both sides of the shaft. This
adds another good producer to
the district and assures full
average output for the future.
The Hoosier Mining Co.. are to
be congratulated.
1t is reported that the COM
pany prospecting the Memphis
property will arrlnge to take up
other mining propositions and
allow the Memphis mines time
in which to refill its many veins
with fuorspar.
