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. I
