ELIZABETHTOWN, H., Sept. 81
Hidden here in Hardin county, off the
beaten path of transportation, the old
est fluorspar mine in America, and
likewise the largest in the world was
recently discovered" by the rest of
the country when strike disorders
brought newspapermen to this south
eastern corner of Illinois.
Not since the James boys rode
through Kentucky and crossed the
Ohio river near here has this quaint
little county seat village-the second
oldest settlement in Illinois exper-
fenced so much excitement, unless it
was during the hectic days of recon
struction when night riders, the Ku
Klux Khan and border whitecappers
kept southern Illinois and northern
Kentucky in a ferment.
Large Veins Exist.
The Hardin county fluorspar veins
are the largest in the United States.
The main vein, running northeast and
southwest across a portion OF the
county, ranges from to 80 feet wide,
is being worked on the 600-foot level,
and diamond drills which have pene-
trated 1900 feet have failed to find
the bottom.
Rosiclaire mine in operation more
than 40 years, holds worlds record
for tonnage produced. Unlike coal
veins in the neighboring counties
which lie flat in bed or blanket
formation, the main fluorspar vein
stands on edge, and is mined under
the same conditions as its sister hard
rock, minerals in Colorado and the
west. In the eastern part of the coun
| ty, at Spar Mountain, near Cave In
Rock, there is. blanket vein of spar
which is mined much like coal.
Used in Industry.
Fluorspar is used in industry for a
wide range of purposes. The finest
grades found, optical spar, goes into
the making of optical instruments
The opalescent glass industry and the
enameling works making kitchen
utensils and bath room fixtures use
coarser grade, only SO per cent

college. The figures compare favor
ably with those Of 1920 when there

pure. Other grades go into the max
ing of hydrochloric acid, aluminium
and steel Ten pounds of spar are
used as flux in the making of each
ton of steel, and So per cent of all
spar mined goes into the steel in
dustry Optical spar sold during the
war at $50 an ounce, and the grade
used in steel making at $50 a ton.
While Elizabethtown has been the
center of the strike trouble, there are
no mines here, the center of industry
being at Rosiclare, five miles away,
where the strike was called on Sept.
II, 1920 Union headquarters were
established here, however, and var
ious picnics, conventions and mass
meetings held, until citizens took
hand Sept 3 of this year, and drove
$50 union men from the town.
Explains Cause for Action
James A, Watson, Hardin county
representative, Mayor George Wall,
Sheriff D. N. Cox and States Attorney
Clarence Seward say the union men
were driven out because they patroled
the streets at night with armed
guards, stopping citizens under The
guise of protecting the life of Ed Car
bine, union organizer.
The present strike is the second in
the history of the f1uorspar field, the
first having occurred in 1915, when an
attempt to unionize the mines failed.
The spar mines have been worked for
more than 40 years, and prior to that
time the diggings yielded lead and
zinc, while the spar was thrown aside
as worthless. During civil war days
a furnace was erected on the Ohio
river bank to make bullets from he
lead found in the fuorspar veins. The
ruined foundations of the old furnace
still stand.
Lead and zinc are now by-products
of the spar mines. along with calcite,
rock crystal and limestone. The cal
cite is crushed for road building pur.
poses or ground fine and sacked as
chicken grit, while the limestone is
ground up and sold to farmers for
agriculture use.
