estate by lottery.
In a. letter to friend about that
time he cited the physical properties
about the plantation. At the time Of
its construction Monticello was the
greatest social home In America
Foreign dignitaries visiting the coun-'
try were carried to Monticello and
entertained royalty in the colonial
home above the Valley of Virginia.
Three years before Jefferson died
moves were inaugurated in different
cities of the country to raise funds to

raised $4,000, Baltimore supplied sew

marked to President jackson some
one should buy Monticello for the

President jackson gave Commodore

No action was taken. The war be-

CHALK SPECIMENS
SAID TO BE TRIPOLI

Mineral specimens of the chalk-like
substance found recently near Clear
view, this county, were sent to the
commissioner of mines by f. J. Baltz
and A. G. Langston for analysis. The
specimens were referred to Geo. G.
Branner, state geologist, for examin-
alton.
A letter from Mr.. Branner, received
this week, stated that he was not equip
ped to make a complete chemical analy-
sis of the mineral and gave the names
of three reliable chemists who could
be secured to make complete analy-
sis. Mr.. Branner also said
'The chalk specimens to which you
referred in your letter is not chalk
but a rock made mp of very fine
grained silica. This is sometimes
known as a TripOli This material is
used both in blocks and ground to a
powder The rough blocks are used
for filler stones, for blotter blocks, and
securing bricks, while the powder 9r
nOuI is uSeu as an dDIdSlNe LOT seherdl
polishing, furnishing and buffing, and
also as an ingredient for securing soaps
powders and pastes. Crude Tripoli is
at a value of about $3.50 a ton in 1922
and the finished product at a value of
$1,000 ton during the same year.
IF you have large quantity of this,
l win be glad to assist you in finding
a market for it"
Mr.. Baltz and Mr.. Langston are
going to Little Rock this week ON other
business and while there will confer
with authorities in an effort to deter
mine whether or not the mineral is Of
sufficient value to warrant mining
operations.
