We referred. the other day. to the able report OF
Mr. Montgomery VI this city. on the iron and MI
neral deposts along the line Of the Northeast and
Southwest Alabama Rail Rad. In this report,
Mr.. NJ. shows. by estimates based on actual exper'
iments made in Virginia. that the iron Tor the
Northeast and Southwest Rail Road can be made
ct cost much less than foreign iron ran he
bought lie shows tina the company can save
$24. 20-1OO per ton. which. upon $4,000 tons. the
quantity required to clothe the whole road. will be
$605, 900. lie estimates the cost Of erecting
Rolling Mill and three blast furnaces at 49,. 900.
which taken from the $60j. 1000 saved by making
their own iron. will leave sjl 900 clear gain to
the company, even should they stop short, when
they had supplied their rond with iron. This is
certainly great saving, md should be carefully
considered by the company before going into the
foreign market. When it 10 considered that to
make iron rails for the NortbsasA and Southwest
Rail Road. is not the principal object of the Roll
ing Mill; bur that iron be furnished for all the
railroads that can DO built in the State. for
all time IA come. and at the same chsup rate, tho
enterprise certainly should commend itself To tho
consideration not only Of the company. but 81 the
State Mt large
The iron rails is not only saving to the com
pany that would occur by Rolling Mill, f' after
the roud is built, there will he required large
quantity Of maleahle iron in the construction
and repairs of tho machinery If tho road; in the
building of locomomo,iyes. passenger and freight
cars; which should be built on tho line Of
tho road, and nonid. il such inducements we're
hold out to mnchini-ts rs would enable them 10
compete successfully with foreign shops. No
practical man can doubt the ability Of making all
these articles the line Of the road cheaper than
they Gun be bought elsewhere. And besides. it
will be spending the money among our own PEG
pie, and encouraging Southern enterprise and in
dus,ry.
We hope this Alabama enterprise will he
ccssful and we trust it will lead TO the tnlli-h-
ment Of similar works in our own State. We
