Birmingham upon its iron; who can fore
tell the future of Llano2''
William L. JOY, president of the Sioux
National Bank of Sioux City, of Iowa, after
careful inspection. said: ''There is more
undeveloped wealth within twenty miles of
the city of Llano than the entire assessed
valuation of the state of Texas at the pres
ent time"
VIM. II. Edmonds, editor of the Manu-
facturers' Record of Baltimore, Md, after
spending several days in this region, said:
''Llano county. all told, does not cover
100000 acres, and yet in two or three years
time, one-tenth of this area could be made
to yield more freight for the railroads Of
Texas than all of the 6, 332, S25 acres of corn,
cotton and wheat"
Again Mr. Edmonds says:
"These facts concerning the mineral re-
sources = Llano county that have been
briefly and somewhat roughly sketched, do
not call for argument in their behalf.
They speak for themselves, and what they
show is valuable indication of the future
that lies before that amazingly gioes rcgfon

structing the road.
The San Antonio and Arkansas Pass Rail
way have forty-nine of their sixty-seven
miles of extension graded, and it is only a

The Waco, Lampasas and Llano have
sixteen miles graded this way from Tampa
sas, and have some thirty miles more before
they reach town. So that Llano is assured
of three railroads in the near future, one
being from the Northeast, one from the
East and one from the South, giving us
competing lines to the great North and to
the Gulf of Mexico.

alaRgREES AND STONES.

The above statements are easily made,
put when il comes to describing the build
ing materials and minerals of this wonderful
region it becomes a great undertaking and
an impossible task to convey to the reader
a view Of the great quarries Of granite of
twenty-four varieties-the ONLY GRAN
TIE found in the Gulf states of white
marble, blue marble, silurian marble, sand
stones, states, cements, asbestos, graphite,
All the large cities of Texas are to-day
striving to get railroad connection with
Llano to secure this building, material.
which will mean thousands of workmen in
the quarries, hundreds of workmen in lime,
cement and marble works.

VALLEY OF THE LLANO"

Is from five to ten miles wide, covered
with timber and carpeted with flowers.
To one who, for the first time, ascends
Clown Peak" at the base Of which winds
the river, and allows his gaze to rest for
moment upon the spires of the busy city
spread out before him, then to wander up
the valley catching here and there, between
the trees, glimpse of the winding river,
he no longer wonders from whence the poet
derived his inspiration to write:
Lives there man with soul so dead
Who ne'er unto himself hath said,
This is my own, rcy native land"
For truly, go East or " est-go North or
South-the traveller will not find a more
lovely sight for the eye to rest upon than
this green valley stretching away for
twenty miles, until the gaze is interrupted
by the distant mountains standing out clear
and bold against the sky.

deposits of Iron ore that exist in such
abundance in the LIano Valley and ada
cent territory, for in the multiplicity of de-
scriptions one vino is not familiar with the
region and has not the guidance of good
map is soon confused. Enough has already
been said to indicate the general character
of the deposits, and in a meas ure their ex-
tent.
I'm order that comparison may be mada
with some of the well-known Lake Supe-
rior ores, which are shipped in large guam
titles for Bessemer purposes, the following
table mas been prepared, comprising sam
pies of the average Of the shipments during
the wear 1889:

iron.

Immense veins of bessemer ore lie ex-
posed on the surface of the ground.
Shafts have been sunk for fifty feet
alongside the Iron Mountain mine, and it
has been found that the vein has increased
four feet in going down that distance, be-
ing twenty-five feet wide at that depth.
Shafts have also been put down in other
mines, and the result was equally satisfac-
tory
To show the extent of these deposits we
quote from the last state geological report,
page 631:
''The magnetites and hematites are abun-
dant. and they, with the manganese ores,
have been so clearly mapped by the geo
logical survey that in the event of the es-
Enlistment of steel works to handle this
material in or out of the district, there will
be no question of the supply being ade-
quate. There is enough of the very best
bessemer ore to build up an industry far in
excess of the requirements of the South
west for long years TO come, even with a
growth far beyond the calculations of the
most sanguine advocates. There will IN
doubtedly be demand from without for
these hard ores, and the smelters of East
ern Texas are beginning to realize the adj
vantage of mixing them with their own
abundant soft ores. Already movements
well under way to make such railroad con-
nections as are necessary to ship to the
Alabama furnaces, which now draw their
supply of hard ores from Lake Superior,
distance of more than 1000 miles IN EXCESS
of the direct route from Llano to Birming-
ham. There can be no doubt, therefore. of
the future great prominence of Central
Texas as z producer of Iron ores"
Mr. George NJ. Wakefield, of Milwaukee,
one CT the best informed iron men in the
country says of this district: 1.-THE quail
ity and quantity of the Iron is not equaled
in any other district that have any knowl-
edge of on this or any other continent"
Mr.. Maurice Z. Locke, president of the
Central National Bank of Dallas, after
three days trip of inspection of Llano
county, said: Having in mind Lowell
