Fluorspar may be on its way back in Crittenden

Fluorspar was once king in Crittenden County. The county was at one point the largest producer of fluorspar in the world. At that point, things were booming around here. Now, a major American company is exploring the idea once again of mining fluorspar here. See this week's Crittenden Press for the first in a two-part series about the possible resurgence of fluorspar mining.
