Nr. Kirves informs us that he will
have the second story of the Billeisen
shop building on Lafourche street COM
pleted about the middle of the coming
week, and it is probable the Knights of
Honor will be able to hold their next
meeting in the new lodge room. Judging
by the birds eye view we have taken of
the work we should say that it is mp to
the excellent standard of the builder and
will give entire satisfaction both to Mr..
Rogge, proprietor Of the building. and to
the members of the Denaldsonville lodges
who expect to use it as place of meet
ing.

Mrs Adeline Louise Hulet Nash was born in the south part of the township of Lee, Mass, Oct. 31, 1877, and died at her home in this village Dec. 24, 1882. In her home she was favored in early life with judicious religious in- struction. In 1929, just before the com pletion of her twelfth year, she embrac- ed religion and joined the Methodist Episcopal church. From the time of her conversion up to the time when she lost the power of speech, she was an active, earnest Christian worker. Her intellectual attainments were much above the average. She had @ thorougly trained and cultured mind and was able to speak fuently and correctly several languages. On March 10th, 1889, she was united in marriage to the Rev AL bert Nash, member of the Newport East Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal church, and now a resident of this village, to whom she proved to be help indeed in the great work to which he gave his life MT Nash is much re- speeted by all who know him, and in this, his deep sorrow, will have the heartfelt sympathy of 8 very large circle of friends.-Lee GLeaaaer.

Correspondence. The Iron Mines of COI0rad o.
BIRMINGHAM. Col. Dec. :

BIRMINGHAM, Col. Dec. 26.
 Editor of Ne,cs :-Of the gold and silver mines of Colorado we have heard much during the past years, but it is not of these alone she receives her riches. Iron, that greatest of all indus tries, is now coming to the front. South ern Colorado has already got a large steel works at Pueblo; also nail factory, and the capacity of these works, al- though very large is not nearly sufficient to supply the demand there is for these products. Having been interested to some extent in mining operations in this country thought 1t might be interest ing to the many manufacturers engaged in North Western Connecticut, in the working up of iron ores, to hear some thing of the wonderful deposits of Swedish Iron that have lately been de- veloped in Southern Colorado, about fifty miles south of Pueblo. The quality of the ore taken from these vast de- posits can only be compared to the finest iron of Sweden and Hungary. It lies in strata from four to twelve feet in thickness between two sand stones. Three only of these strata have as yet been worked. The ore lies in the form of basin verging towards the centre, the circumference of the basin being about twelve miles. Work has been done on more than one hundred mines, and some of them will produce more than hundred tons of ore per day that will run from 45 to 75 per cent of iron. Without doubt this place is going to l become another Pittsburg Colorado can boast of many beautiful spots 1 among it's mountain ranges, but there are not many that can compare with this valley for its mild climate and beauty of scenery. Combined with this 1 few places could be found that have the natural advantages which are necessary for starting an iron industry. Water and wood are here in great abundance and from all the mines there exists a natural down grade to Birmingham (the name of the town starting), which in future years is destined to become the centre of one of the largest and most important iron duties in the world. Coal has been found in close proximity to the iron, and there is at the present time company sinking shaft on the main body. This discovery of coal in connection with the other mines, will be of great advantage to the settlers.
 have sent these few lines to youl paper with the hope of attracting the interest of some of those so largely con. nected with the iron smelting in youl vicinity.
 Yours truly,
