the sensitive scales of industrial COMPETE |
ton, is sufficient to turn the eyes Of all |
thoughtful business men and capitalists

Read brief and temperate summary

featuring and industrial enterprises, for
residence, health-seeking or investment;
First.-Two inexhaustible fields of Iron,
Shin-Bone Ridge and Iron Hill, the for
mer one-half mile, and the latter six miles
from Spring City, from which ore is being
mined in large quantities daily. Spring
Citys iron ore is no experiment.
Second.-The Cincinnati Southern and
Central Tennessee Railways meet here,
the latter striking the Walden's Ridge
coking coal at two miles and the newly
discovered Andrews or Pocahontas Cox
ing Coal.
Third-The best Cooking Coal in the
world yielding 9l4 per cent. of fixed car
bon), at a distance of twenty-seven miles,
made available by the Central Tennessee
Railway, and the opening to the market
of the wonderful Block Coal through the
same medium. This Block Coal, the only
coal in the world that can make iron with
out being converted iutO coke, exists in
vast quantities in the line of the Central
Tennessee extension.
FOurth-Cheaper Iron than any other
locality.-Spring City's Iron Ore supply
and her Coking Coal are nearer together,
and bv the extension of the Tennessee
Central six miles to Iron Hill, her trans
portation of ore and coal, without break
ing bulk, is necessarily secured cheaper
than any other locality.
Fifth-Cheap transportation to market
Spring City is nearer to the eastern
market by rail than Chattanooga by fifty
five miles, than Birmingham by one hun

six miles from the Tennessee River which
affords cheap transportation to the Ohio.
Sixth-A cheap river outlet for manu-
featured goods by Piney and Tennessee
Rivers, the former stream flowing on the
outskirts of the city, with power enough
to run many factories, and navigable for
one and One-half miles from It's mouth,
affording a splendid natural harbOr for a
dozen industries.

in the State certainly can be claimed for
Spring City. 1t is high and dry, perfectly
level, dotted with blooming orchards,
marked with comfortable and substantial
dwellings, and surrounded by productive
farming lands.

Fields, pastures, meadows, orchards, vine
yards, nurseries, gardens, etc, surround
