WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15. The Florida Phosphates. From ike Jacksonville Times- Union, Jan. S. Oe AL A. Fla.. January 7.-Florida's great and good Times Union has come gloriously to the front io its issues of Sunday and Monday, and given the phosphate interest io this aod Citrus couuty such a send-off that it. has set all the world aflame over the grandest pros? pects for accumulating aod disseminat? ing wealth ever dreamed of io Florida For such generous treatment the people of Marico aod Citrus couuties feel duly grateful, and this was duly evinced hy? the manner io which, when the articles were read, a genuine clean out raid was made on our news-dealers and five hun? dred extra copies of the paper sought for that could not be supplied. The Ximes-Union correspondent has not been uomindful of the fact that rich i discoveries of phosphates were made to j this section, as numerous items io that line from time to time io the Times Uoion amply attest, but every attempt to interview the Hon. J F. Duno, who j is tae head aod froDt of this unparalleled | *'fiad," has beeo unsuccessful. Mr. : DUDO has declined to talk for publica- j tion, for reasoo3 good and sufficient, ; which he was frank enough to state, j For these reasons, the Times-Union's : Ocala correspondent has refrained from ; transmitting the ioformation so mu ch sought after. What he now send?, \ scores of other newspaper men have ap pKed for to Mr. Dunn io vain, lt is ; the ooly truthful and authenticated ac-, count of the phosphate ?iud in Marion county. Mr. Dunn's objections to makiog a Kg outcry about the finding of pbos- : phate were three-fold. Ooe was that, ! as Charleston. S. C., possessed the only j bed in this country, the holders of thai i y; i property would, if they knew the value \ of the 6ud here, come down, and iu a j qaiet way, gobble up every acre ot | available land, aod then sercoely sit j down on it and use it to the detriment, j iostead of the beoefie, of Florida, and ; the rest of the sterile laud owuers of the j earth, exacting a bonus, instead of con- j ferring a benefit and extending a bless- j jog. j In the second place, most of 'he laods known to contain phosphates were held j by non-resident speculators, who bought ; the same some years ago for $1 25 per j acre from the Government, but asked 1,000 per ceot. profit on their invest- : ment, aod more than the land was worth i for farming or fruit growing. They } had never done the State any good, but had been a continual barrier to its set? tlement; th; y had no love for Florida, ! except for the money which they could I make ont of her; and to acquaint them with the value of these lands would ; frustrate thc object which Mr. Dunn j had in view, namely to get possession < f their land and make it available to ? the public. j \ The third reason was to make tbe discovery and possession of the Duo- j Delloo lands ap a rely Florida enterprise, ! aod io that way to develop our own re- I sources, bringing to our doors the great- j est good to the greatest number of our ? people; and Mr. Dunn's statement j makes this reason perfectly plain, as he ' made every effort to engage home talent aod . home capital to take a hand io de- j veloping the grandest enterprise that has ever dawned on Florida, by indue- i ing .Jacksonville's leading bankers and capitalises, ab well as others of the State to j >in in the enterprise. This enterprise and commercial deal wooli consUt in establishing the .. manufacturing works in this State, ; thereby fostering a measure that would give employment to thousands, and in? crease our trade by millions, all on Florida soil, and handed by F.orida merchant* and bankers. j lt may perhaps be said that 3Ir. j Duno was largely controlled by selfish motives in thus keeping ;/? go>,d for- ; tune to himself, aud the "find" of the j rich deposits out of the newspapers, j Those who know Mr. Dunn best, as the most liberal, generous and free of traders, are aware that he is human and ; has an eye to the main chance to Mr I Dnno'a eredit and profit ; hut he iswxthal the most propres.-ive and enterprising man in the State, ever ready with word. : pen and pocketbook to further any and every good project to promote the pros- : perity and weitare of its people. His lib? eral dealings with those who embarked ! with bim to the phosphate find attest hi5 1 irgeness of heart, his g^nerou* aud ap? preciative instincts. Ila gave the Messrs. Vntjt. ( ioho and Albertus.) the ; Teagues, (Fiank and Samuel.; and Dr. Snowden, nearly one-half of tue stuck , < f the company, which is -?o much sought after, and commands a premium o? ' nearly 160 pf-r c*nr Every one who asked hun -about the probable outcome o? the enterprise, and th*-ir d?nie o luvest j in it. h^ advised that they should do s- ; but be had no promises* make, ti" guarantees to assume; if they took an interest, they took i: a* be Ol, with hope in th*- future shadowed tn the possi? bilities '?{ the present Lastly, Mr. Dunn showed hi* faith by hts works. II?: went intelligently at it, left no source of information u?ap pealed to to know the nature, cx'- ni and uses of phosphate a*;:l it?- history since it became ai; important factor in renewing the productiveness (*f tf?? earth. There was methodical it.'-, lli gence to con fit m a??d strengthen ever} step he took in this gr* at moven.eui He backed his be.-t judgment with h.. hard earned money, never doubting, never wavering, th'-u^b h;> best fjieutfs, with kind:.os in theil hearts, reiutorceu . with good intentions, came ?<. him air. asked to ero slow - to c??u>ider weil before paying out bis ample fortune <n lamis ; if he failed in Soding what they presumed Mr. Dunn <>?ily imagined tit? y had, it vroniii bring him to financial tutu. Through ail these trying da\s ami weeks Mr Dunn beld in* temper ano controlled his feelings-, confident that . he had out mude a f-ii.-.. step Victory j w?old er<>wn hip* effort-. The Ti tites-1 uiori correspondent has prevailed on Mr ihirta, greatly against his modesty and contrary to his unas? suming nature, to append thc following statement : Mia tow's; sr \ FEM* :T. j Ab. ii? .lor,.- IO last, a't.r my return from Tallahassee, Mr Albertus Vogt left on LIV desk a package containing ? about one pound of t?arlv earth, which. > he said, he \r<*>i disfcov red in diggina a 1 1 well in a sp? log on hi* piare near Dun pelion some mouth? previously; and, as Mr A. L. Eichelberger ha.-? discovered i gypsum on hts Witblaeoochee place a : short time before, be thought it. rn i ?ht coat?<:i or some other material ? of value. I was quite busy and paid but little attention to it until that even ,' ing, whoo again noticing the package, j I opeued it, exanroed it, and found it i to be a chalky lime substance, not un I usual io this portion of the State. I, j however, deteruiiued to have it ana i lyzed, and immediately put up a small j package of the stuff, and mailed it to Messrs. Regis, Chauveuet & Bro., chemists, of St. Louis, with a request that they analyze it for me. The next dav, or within a short time thereafter. I took a small sample of the stuff to Mr. A. I*. Eichelberger to compare it with i his gypsum, and he wished to take it to ! Dr R. R. Snowden, a chemic of this I city, and have him examine it, which he did ; and in a short time hr informed me that Snowden said it was not gyp? sum, but that it contained phosphate. I immediately saw Dr. Suowden, and asked him to anylyze ir, winch he pro? ceeded.to do; but before Snowden had completed his analysis I received a ietter from the St. Loois chemists assuriog me ,i that the stuff was rich in phosphoric acid, and advising me to look after it if j there was much of it. It was valuable, j Soon thereafter I received their com- j plete analysis confirming their report j previously received. In the meantime ! Dr. Snowden had completed the aualy- j sis which showed similar results. I then visited the well with Mr. Vogt, and ; found the stuff in quautiiies as he had stated, and also found it at several other places on adjoining properties;" and I took severa! samples myself, and sent ? one to St. L>uis, one to a New York I chemist, and one to the Shepard iahoia- j tory at Charleston, S. 0., and gave sev- i erat to Dr. Snowden to be analyzed. In ; due course of time these analyses were reported, and all coofimed the former analysis I then purchased a ha:fin Mr. I Vogt's ten acres that contained the well, and all of several pieces of adjacent lauds, and engaged Mr. Albertus Vogt j and his brother J.?ho, as land prospect Ors, and Dr. Jv R Snowden as chem- j ist, to as>ist me in securing such lands j as might be desrabie phosphate lands, giving them for such services a goodly share in ali the lands which we secured, j After we had selected and I had pur- ? chased about eight thousand acre?; of land, immediately around Dunnelion, | the Messrs. F. A. and L. W. Teague joined our iittle band, furnishing some money and giving their time to the \ work. They took, therefore, an inter- j est in all the lauds which we should j thereafter secure. When we had in creased our holdings to about thirteen j thousand acres I invited Can*. John L. ! .ii Inglis, a stanch old Fiori.lian, to visit | and exawiue the property, which he did, j and consented to put in ?-orne m-ney j and take au interest in toe enterpvisn ' Capt. Inglis applied to Messrs. C. K. j Dutton. Philip Lawrey. Mr Stephens. ? John L. Martin, D. G Ambler and i others to join him, and several of these j gentlemen spent seme days examining j the property, but none were willing to j put any money into it, a* ? have since [ learned, except Messrs. Inglis. Dutton, '? Lawrey and Alexander Wyllie, of Scot land, ail of whoa are now stockholders j in the Dunneilon Phosphate Company, j We then organized tae Dunneilon Phos- ? phate Company, with a capital stock of -OU OOO, wbica company now owns ' about l?.OU? acres of choice phosphate ! lands. A short time since Mr. William L '. Bradley, of Boston, .learning of these j phosphate discoveries, induced Dr. C. ! L. Shepard, of Charleston, S. C., to j visit and inspect them for him. which J has resulted in Mr. Bradley's taking an \ interest in trie Dunneilon Company. I have brought individually, bu: ostt-nsi- i bly for the Dunneilon Company, about j SO.OOO acres of land in the phosphate ; belt, some of which arc goud pnosph.ite ! lands. The Messrs. Bradley have made ? for a similar purpose purchases of sev- : eral thousand acres of some good r?hos- ?? phate lauds, thus making altogether owned by the Dunnelion Company, a roi controlled by its friends, about 'JO,OOO acres of land, possibly the largest and richest body of phosphate lands owned by any one company in the world. The Baldwin Fertilizer Company, of Savannah, Ga-, in conjunction with Messrs. Jv W. Agnew and U. M Brown. ? learn, has bought quite largely ? of lands in the phosphate belt. These two companies are the only j ones which have so far purchased large : quantities of land. There are several j Charleston phosphate gentlemen and 1 some Baltimore fertilizer dealers, who have been on the ground for some time prospecting, with a virw to purchasing, but they have f! l?ari?) purchased but '? ?rtrle. if anv, ?ari.is .?.s ver There a:e a number of local and visiting land speculators who are largely iu options, and ?"?ccasiorially make purchases, with a view to selling to the first one offering th? rr? a fair pr? fit on their investments.
