PHOSPHATE FINDS.
the Report of the state geolo.
GIST ON THE SUBJECT.
Ho Finds tho Deposits in Thomas Ex-
tonoiTo, of Good Quality and Very
Probably in Faying Quantitiea-An
Interesting Paper.
The first report of State Geologist
J. W. Spencer, under tl'e new set
re-organizing the geological bureau,
has been made to Governor Gordon.
It is in reference to the phosphate
deposits of Thomas county, and is
as follows:
In a letter from Mr. J. M. Mc-
C1 and less dated July 25, my atten
tion was called to the occurrence of
phosphates in South Georgia, the
analysis of which showed a high
quality. As these were probably
the first phosphates of importance
that have been found In Georgia, I
deemed it advisable to make an ex
amination at the first opportunity
in order to ascertain if the deposit
justified investigation of the belt.
Consequently, I visited the region
and now submit my first report
which absence, occasioned by the
field work, has delayed.
The phosphate bed is best expos
ed about three miles from Boston
on theTbomasyille road,. and atonly
a few points is the deposit of phos
phate seen on the surface; but a
large number of pita have been
opened by Mr. Dunwody Jones. In
these openings the phosphate is
found beneath'a depth from four to
ten feet of earth, and again it ap
pears to paes to even greater depths
beneath the earthly coverings.
IN TICE FORM OF NODULES.
The mineral is in the form of
nodules, varying in size up to mass
es of 100 pounds or more. The color
is variable, varying from white to
yellow, brown and green. The
nodules often make up 50 per cent,
or more of the bed, which some
times reaches a thickness of over
ten feet. In the bed with the min
eral, liinty nodules commonly oc
cur, and even the two minerals are
commingled. The phosphates are
underlaid by Ulnty beds, and these
rest upon limestone. The geologi
cal age of these underlying Hints
and limestone is lower mioceue.
This was determined by the fossils
which I collected in the rocks and
referred to Dr. W. H. Dali,of Wash
ington.
Tlie phosphates are newer and
contain fragments of the older
shells. In fact, both the Hints and
phosphates were once beds of lime
stone, subsequently converted into
the secondary forms.
SAME AS THE FLORIDA DEPOSITS.
Thus it is found that the geologi
cal position of the phosphate beds
of Thomas county is the same as
that of some of the Florida depos
its.
The phosphate beds are lenticular,
or lie more or less in pockets, some
of which are of large size. Besides
those deposits seen, the mineral is
said to occur along the Aucilia
creek and at other places and at
considerable depth.
I made several qualitative tests
of the ore, but have depended for
percentages upon Mr. MoCandless’
analysis of Mr. Jones’ samples.
The reports show bone phosphates
up to from 65 to 85 per cent. The
percentage of clay is low, as also the
Iron. This can be seen in the open,
ings, as the Iron colorations are
limited and the clay is upon the
surface of the nodules and can be
removed by washing, as in the case
of the Charleston deposits. Water
is near at hand.
IN PAYING QUANTITIES.
The depths at which the phos
phates can bo profitably worked
varies with the volume. The Char-
leston phosphates have usually a
thickness of six to fifteen inches,
although greater in places. Under
these conditions they obtain from
#00 to 1,200 tons to theaore, and
can remove from eight, to ten feet
of earth, according to Dr. Bhepard.
Usually 500 tons to the acre are
necessary to pay expenses. The
heaviest Thomas county deposits
would reach 10,000 ton^to the acre;
yet such a yield could not . be ex
pected to continue oyer large areas,
but would help to tide over the in
evitable expense of the poor ground.
Although the deposit of Thomas
county phosphate is confined in
width, there seems no reason why
it should be limited in length. The
present outlook is sufficient to jus
tify further prospecting and furth
er development of an Industry so
Important to the State. I shall
give this question of phosphates
more attention at an early date,
as the preliminary Investigation
warrants it, in order to make known
the modes of occurrence and gen
eral distribution to the landowners
and others Interested in the proas
pectingand development of phos
phates.
Politics are so quiet in South
west Georgia that the editors find
it impossible to keep their hands
off of the Seventh district and the
Jeffersonians. ,

Another Trust.
Whether “trusts” are fathered by
the State, country,jor by the indi
viduals and corporations concern
ed, the fact remains that trusts ex
ist, in many cases putting up prices
and securing a monopoly of trade
in certain lines of trade. “Trust”
in this connection, has a disagreea
ble sound to the average citizen,
who condemns both the word and
its meaning.
But the rnanuer iu which the
word is used is the vital nolut. If
employed to express confidence in
a statement or an article, it becomes
pregnant with pleasing meaning.
This is exemplified by the popular
trust in Hood’s Sarsaparilla, a med
icine representing
A COMBINATION
not of greedy, grasping men, but of
the best remedial agents known to
medical poience, and prepared by
such a peculiar process as to give it
the full medical value of all the
roots and herbs comprised in it.
The popular trust and confidence In
this remedy is shown by the rapid
increase iu its sale all over the
country—so rapid that druggists
say that Hood’s Sarsaparilla has
now almost
A MONOPOLY
of the trade in medicines for puri
fying the blood and building up the
whole system. But every State and
the whole country is a gainer by
such a monopoly as this, for what
ever confers upon individuals the
benefits which Hood’s Sarsaparilla
does must be a benefit to the body
politic. The test of time, the test
of trial and the test of “trust" have
all been successfully met by Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, which from the good
it has done, and the words of praise
it has won, Is deserviug the full
confidence aud trust of all who have
never yet tried it, but who feel tho
need of a reliable medlolne.
Killed a Bosk*.
Yesterday, Alex George, a negro
laborer, who came to this place two
weeks ago from Cuba, and who is
employed at tho compress of Cole,
Simpkins A do., killed a large rat
tle snake by shooting It with agun.
The reptile was four and one-half
feet long, and had fourteen rattles
and a button. It ivas found near
the compress wjien killed.
Tho Cuban negro created a con
siderable • sensation among the
other laborers by taking the dead
snake aud coiling it around his
neck, and gqi£g: about bis work as
coolly as he woiildf have eaten a cu
cumber. He wore his spakish
necklace up into the city where it
attracted considerable attention
from the passes by.
Do You Want to Escape?
Do you want to escape chills aud
fever this season 7 Xo matter bow
much malaria there Is in the at
mosphere and how many may bs
taken down in yeur neighborhood
with malarial fevers, they could
have escaped and you can escape
by a use of that excellent remedy,
Smith’s Tonic Sprup, made by Dr.
Johu Bull, of Louisville, Ky. It
cures chills and fever when
quinine falls. It is far better than
quinine, for it leaves no unpleasant
after affects. Smith’s Tonic Syrup
Is notmu experiment. For many
years it has been considered the
only safe aud certain cure for cbiils
ana fever. You do yourself great
injustice if you fail to take this rem
edy, for it will cure you even when
all other treatment falls.
