MINING IN
lRI77ENDEN
Dating Back To 1905, Wonderful
Advance ln The Price OF
Fluor.spar

In 1905 the Chicago Mining
Company was established on
what was called the Bigham vein
1t was carried alcng for consider
able time. Bet the small size
of the vein at that time and the
price of f1uorspar made it i'm
possible to carry i. .on So it
was dropped by them.
At the time of the formation
Of the Reed Mining Co., probab-
ly not one person in twenty thot
of the big Marion Mines that
have run entirely thru it. This
Marion vein is probably one of
the greatest properties in the
district. All along its range are
very large producing properties.
If some arrangement could be
made this mine would yield a
mighty big profit For example
a thousand tons of fiuorspar
which fifteen years ago gave a
profit of but a few dollars would
today yield twenty five 1925. 000)
thousand dollars profit.
The Reed Mining Co., consists
of 500 shares and if some one
will take hold of it and put down
4 shaft on the Sayre lots they
will have a splendid property.
Of course nobody who owns one
share will take it up but some
body in some way can arrange
for a great property.
There are about two hundred
shares held by individuals. others
are held by Lawrence Cruce
and D. C. Roberts. And so far
as my interests goes Geo. P.
Roberts has the full sway. |
have been told that the head of
tbs vein just across the railroad
track has a splendid solid vein
three feet thick of the straw
colored huorspar. One below
on the Marion vein is called the
Susie Beller. 1t opens out to
seven feet.
In buying stock in the com.
pany the incentive was of course
stock at a profit. In my
judgment the stock can be sold
in Evansville at $500 a share.
And every body that wants to
dispose Of their stock Can dn SO.
There is very strong feeling
of interest in huorspar, and $50.
90 per share would not be to
much. d. c. Roberts.

day afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs.
Noble Hall were the attending
witnesses. Mrs. Hall will be
pleasantly remembered here as
Miss Robbie Douglas Wilson of
Cadiz, KY, who was the guest
before her marriage on several
occasions of Mrs. Yates. Mrs.
Yates left here last FRIDAY and
was joined at Princeton by Mrs.
Hall and together they visited
their sweet heart and husband re
spectively at Camp Zachary

to Black Oklahoma, to visit
her aunt Mrs. d. S. Rose, and
had no thought Of matrimony as
far as her family or friends
knew, Sergeant Yates had been
her devoted admirer for several
years and the separation since he
joined the army was unbearable
to them both. 1t did not take

The three essential respects in
which the public can aid in assuring
"a happy Christmas at the front are:
2Mail early, address intelligently, and
mack securely. For this reason it IS
1rgeatly requested that all persons
Ihaying Christmas mail for the sol

its attached to the army in Europe
observe closely the following direc-
lions:

spicuously the words Christmas
