20, 465 short tons and in value of
Sl66, 245, according to statistics
compiled by Ernest F. Buchard.
Notwithstanding this decrease
the production of 1914 has heen
exceeded only by that of 1912
and 1913. The average price
per ton at mine or mill for the
whole country, considering all
grades of fluorspar--gravel, lump
and ground--was approximately
$3.50 in 1914. compared with
Sc. 81 in 1913, a decrease of 3e
cents a ton.
The market for the bulk OF
the fiuorspar sold in the United
States depends on the steel in
dustry, and when that industry
becomes depressed the demand
for fluorspar quickly diminishes.
Gravel spar is consumed as a
flux in basic open-hearth steel
furnaces and to a smaller extent
in other metallurgic operations.
In 1914 the marketed production
of gravel spar constituted about
1873 per cent. of the total mar.
keted output of domestic fiuor.

The market for lump fiuorspar
for the manufacture of hydrofiu-
oric acid is reported to be i'm
proving. This report appears

of nearly 55.S per cent in guam
tity and 9l.3 per cent in value Of
sales in 1914. in connection with
which the price per ton increased
about 22.S per cent.
In Illinois the output in 1914
came from three mines, all in
Hardin county. Spar was ship
ped from ten mines in Kentuc-
ky mine in Crittenden county
and one in Livingston county,,
one mine in New Hampshire and
five Emines in Colorado. The

ABOUT OLD
CANON IN STATE. PARK

The old brass cannon In the state
park opposite the penitentiary has
long been an object of considerable
interest to the public and much spec
ion has been INDUCED in as to
its history. While not very awe
some looking instrument OF warfare,
it was in its day regarded as an er,
fective piece of artillery. A pigmy
impaired with the 42-centimeter siege
guns used by the Germans and allies
in the present European war, or those
mounted in our own coast foFtifica-
tions for that matter, the old cannon
was half century ago looked upon
as a somewhat up-to-date weapon of
destruction. 1t is in reality what or
dinance officers call howitzer, but
vastly different in appearance and
effectiveness from the howitzers used
in the United States navy at the pres
ent time in campaigning in mountain
districts and which proved so valu-
able to our troops in the hill districts
of the Philippine islands during the
Aguinaldo rebellion.
The old cannon was brought to
Canon City thirty-nine years ago from
st. Louis, Mo. and is one of the most
cherished possessions OF Greenwood
Post No. 10, Grand Army of the Re-
public. 1t was employed in the sup
preston of the draft riots In New
York City in the early days OF the
Civil war and afterwards followed the
fortunes of the Army OF the Potomac
in the fighting before Richmond, the
capital of the Confederacy.
The subjoined story of the old wea-
pom has been prepared by the chroni-
clers of Greenwood Post and will be
painted on a tablet and set up beside
1t on the mound where II now rests
in the park:
This historical cannon belonged to
a Boston battery that entered the
service in 1861.
1t was in many minor engagements
up to the battle OF Charlottesville
May. 1868. where in the noted flank
ing movement 1t did effective service.
In June. 1868. 1t was used In quell-
ing the New York City riots.
July to was used in the Gettys-
burg campaign.
1t was secured by Hon. d. C Pea
body for the veterans of the Union
army in Canon City. Colorado. from
Jefferson barracks arsenal in 1876 at
a cost Of $3.50.
1t was used at July 4th and Decora-
ton day celebrations until by a pre-
mature explosion Lieutenant Eugene
Clapp Of the militia was seriously In
jured, and II Is now condemned as
unserviceable.
1t is the property OF Greenwood
