country has almost unlimited capacity fer

Thu IRON DIsTRTCF-The iron district,
which spreads through New jersey, Penn,

tFaVeTses regions exubeFant with coal, and
in water power and, travelling
further west, we find in Ohio, Kentnckg,
and particularly in Missouri, immense stores
of metaIieross wealth, adjacent TO the most
fertile agricultural districts. Il is 10 Penn
sylvania. however, we mnst chiefly direct our
attention, where two>ffihs of all the iron in
the United States is made. The United
States contain $4,000 square miles Of coal,
which is about sixteen times as great as tho
coal measures of Europe. Asingle one Of
these gigantic masses runs from Pennsylva-
MIA to Alabama, and must embrace, itself,
$4,000 square miles. Out of fifty counties
Of Pennsylvania to Alabama, no less Lhan
thirty have coal and irsn in them; and, oat
Of the 46, 900 square sniles Of Pennsylvania,
which form superhsies, there are 10000
miles OF coal and iron; while all Great Brit
ain and Ireland haue only 2,000-so that
Pennsylvania alone has an area Of coal and
iron Eve times as great as tLat Of Great Brit
ain. The quality Of the coal or iron is as
rich as that Of Greal BritaiA and they have
the advantage of lying near the water-leyel;

times moao than one thousand feet below
