WZ ere Deposits Are Found and How - They'Are Prepare The Florida phosphate deposits are of : great importance , yet their existence Was discovered so recently and their extent is still so uncertain that few per- sons not engaged in the sale of fertiliz- ing materials have niuch knowledge of the large industry which has sprung up In the Peninsular State. It has practically - ly created a new city - Oeula - which had a population of but a few hundred I . in 1870 , but is now a thriving business : center with modern improvements , banking facilities and ample railway and trmspottation facilities. Engineering - ing the leading engineering journal of the world , makes the following state- ments concerning the region , which are of considerable interest as coming from an unbiased source : "There is no phos phate region in the world known today that possesses so many advantages for successful mining as the Florida depos its. The grade of material is the highest average that is being worked anywhere. The facilities for moving the products I to points for distribution are good. The average distance from mines to ports I for shipments is about 150 miles. "Tho distributing stations for the hard rock district are Port Tampa , Fernan- dina , Brunswick and Savannah , the largest tonnage being moved from Fer- nandina , where storage bins are located and loading facilities are good. Port Tampa , the terminus of the Plant sys- tem of railroads , is constantly adding facilities for prompt handling of cargoes of phosphate and at present very nearly equals Ferunudina in the amount of its shipments. Railroad are numerous and cheaply constructed when necessary to extend them into now sections. The machinery needed to mine and prepare the material is simple and inexpensive ' compared with that generally used in 'I other mining operations , and the cost of a plant with sufficient land to work upon is within the reach of small in- I vestors. The working days at the mines are about 280 during the year. The cli-I mate is healthful , laborers readily obtained - I tained at a fair compensation , and | skilled operatives are at hand who are j becoming familiar with the business. ! i "The mining camps are generally well i regulated , and proprietors and employ ees can reside at the mines with safety I and with little inconvenience , as supplies - i plies of all kinds can bo readily obtained - I ed at the towns located in the near i i vicinity of all the largo mining fields. ! Telegraph aud mail facilities are within I easy access of nearly every mining camp I in the state. Florida phosphates are I mostly shipped to European ports ] and aro manufactured into fertilizers in' ' England , Ireland , Germany , France , 'II and quite recently shipments ! have been made to the Sandwich Islands. Foreign j agents of consumers and dealers in phos- : phates have their offices near the center ' 'I of production , and contracts for deliv ery and prices are commonly fixed at ' 'I points of shipment , the material being sold at a price per unit of its contents I of phosphate of lima The Florida phos i phates are all used in the manufacture ' of commercial fertilizers and superphos- I' phate. " Boston Transcript. , j I THE RETIRED BURGLAR. ; . He Finds It Hard to Accustom Himself to Ordinary Hours of Living. "My chief trouble now , " said the retired - tired burglar ] , "is about my hours. I have been so long accustomed to work- ing nights and sleeping days that I find it difficult to change back to the hours of other folks. Instead of having my break- fast at 7 o'clock in the morning I have it at 7 o'clock in tho evening. Some I folks make their dinner the last meal in the day , but I never could get used to that. I can sleep ] better on a light meal , so I have my dinner in the mid- . dle of the day-I mean the middle of the night-and my supper about 5 o'clock in the morning. "This schedule works all right for the first half of the night. There's plen- ty of life then , and I can go to the thea- ter and one place and another , but after dinner , I must say , I find it pretty tedious. When I was at work and my mind was occupied , I never thought anything about it , but now it is differ- ent. This is a bigger town than it used to bo , and it's open all night. There's plenty of occupations nowadays that people work at all night , but the people that work at 'em are working at : em. You don't see 'em around the em'l and the general fact remains that most people work days and sleep nights , and I the cold fact is that from dinner time to supper time I feel sort o' lost. "But I'm not difccournged. I don't sup- pose I could change the habits of a life- time in a minute , and I shall just keep on trying till I get my hours shifted around again like other people's.

"I wish you would have a porter come up and wash the labels off my trunks , " remarked a well dressed man as ho signed his name to the book at the Continental last night. The guest as he I spoke pointed to three big trunks ] that I stood in the baggage room. The trunks were covered with the various labels that indicated that they had made a long continental journey. In days gone by these labels were the proper thing , I 1 and the man just home from Europe considered those glaring tags as almost ! I sacred. But fashion has changed this I year , thank of the Prince of Wales set- ting the pace , and now these glaring showbills indicative of travel are : no longer in vogue. Philadelphia In- quirer. A.
