Mineral Resources of Missouri.-Im
tance of St Louis.

The following extract is from an interest
ing article by Paron in the Atlalltc Monthly
for June: Has the reader ever taken the
trouble to observe what a remarkable piece
of the earth surface the State of Missouri
isl Surface indeedl We beg pardon; Mis-
souri, goes far enough under the surface to
furnish mankind with one hundred million
tons Of coal for thirteen hundred yearsl
Think OF 26,S87 square miles Of coal beds
nearly half the State-and some of the beds
fifteen feet thick. With regard to iron it is
not necessary to penetrate the surface for
that They have iron in Missouri by the
mountain, Pilot Knob, 5Sl feet high and
containing see acres, is mass of iron; and
Iron Mountain, six miles distant from it, is
22S feet high, covers 500 acres, and contains
10000, 900 tons of ore without counting the
inexhaustible supply that may reasonably be
supposed to exist below the level. There is
enough iron lying loose in that region for
double track of railroad across the continent
The lead districts Of Missouri include more
than 5000 square miles, and at least $50
"points' where it is known that lead can be
profitably worked In fifteen counties there
is copper, and in seven of these counties
there is copper enough to pay for working
the mines. There are large deposits ofzinc
in the State There is gold, also, which does
not yet attract much attention because of
the dazzling stores of the precious metals
farther west. In Short within one hundred
miles of St Louis, the following metals and
minerals are found in quantities that will
repay working: Gold, iron, lead, zinc, cop.
per, tin, silver, platina, nickel, emery, CO.
bait, coal, limestone, granite, pipe-elay, fire
clay, marble, metallic paints aud salt.
The State contains 10000 600 acres of
land. Eight millions of these acres have
the rich soil that is peculiarly suited to the
raising of hemp. There are five millions of
acres among the best in the world for the
grape, Twenty million acres are good farm
ing lands adapted to the ordinary crops of
the Northern farmer. Two million acres
are mining lands. Unlike some of the
prarie States. Missouri possesses a suffi
cheney of timber land, and most of her prai-
