TENNESSEE IRON.
Deposits Near Knoxville Sufficient to
Supply the World for Years.
The Opening TO Navigation Of the Tennessee
River Cheapens Irs Transportation.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-In less than two
years the iron trade OF the UDited States will
be confronted by situation nearly Ike th at
which the iron man ufActurers Of England was
called upon 70 face in 1851, when Mr.. J.
Vaughan discovered that the gray clay
stone of the Eston hills.
near Middlesboro in the Cleveland
district Of Yorkshire, was rich iron ore and
very easily reduced. In 1850 the pig iron
produced in the Cleveland districtof England
was nearly 100000 tons. There is this
difference, viz: that, whereas the discovery
OF the Cleveland district in England affected
the price Of only one element Of finished
iron, the opening to navigation Of the Ten
nessee river from its mouth at Paducah 10
Knoxville, distance Of 94S miles, will fur
rish cheap transportation for the products
Of inexhaustible veins Of bitumlnous coal OF
equal or superior quality to that found any
where In the world.
At the Rockword furnace in Tennessee
raw bituminous coal has been for sixteen
years in blast furnace, producing a fair
quality Of cold short iron. The government
has made forthe last thirteen years regular
annual apportionments for the Tennessee
river. The character Of the river Ia such that
an improvement once made is permanent.
There are no shifting sands, and no changes
in the channel have occurred for
many years except those arti-
fcally produced for the Improvement
Of navigation. There is now all the year
around three feet Of water from Chattanooga
10 Knoxville, three and half feet from
Florence to Padueah, at its junction with the
Ohio. Between Decatur and Florence nav
igation has been obstructed by mussel
shoals, to overcome which the United States
is constructing q steamboat canal.
One years. time and an appropriation Of
$3.50, 900 are needed to complete the canal
The river and harbor committee Of the house
have just decided to appropriate the amount
required, and II is estimated that by January
], 1886, the river will be open from Knox
vile 10 its mouth. The coal produced in the
Chattanooga district in 1854 was about Z, $780,
600 tons, and the production Of pig
iron during this year was about
600, 900 tons. The Tennessee river ls q
better river for navigation than the Missis-
sippi above st. Louis, or the Ohio above
Cincinnati. Its navigation is never OBJ
structed by ice. Iron ore is now delivered
at the mouth OF blast furnaces along the Ten
Dessee for 81 and coal fer SO a ton, and the
deposits Of both are large enough to supply
the world for many wears
