1t IS not necessary to describe further the
deposits of Iron ore that exist in such
abundance in the Llauo Valley and ada
cent territory, for. in the multiplicity of de-
scriptions one who is not familiar with the
region and has not the guidance of a good
map is soon confused. Enough has already
been said to indicate the general character
of the deposits, and in a measure their ex-
tent.
sin order that comparison may be made
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. com prising sam
pies of the average of the shipments during
the wear 1880.

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 63l:
The magnetites and hematites are album
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 cone, even with
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 ad-
vantage of mixing them with their own
abundant soft ores. Already movement is
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, q
distance of more than 1000 miles IN EXCESS
of the direct route from LIano to Birming-
ham. There can be no doubt, therefore. OF
the future great prominence of Central
Texas as producer of Iron ores"
Mr.. George NJ. Wakefield, of Milwaukee,
one CT the best informed iron men in the
country, says of this district: 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 E. Locke, president of the
Central National Bank of Dallas. after a

For immediate business, Llano will be

eminent census of June, 1880. Forty thou

there is an immediate demand for abso-

and that property will go to city prices, in

i'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 a
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 neer unto himself hath said,
This is my own, --y native land
For truly, go East or u est-go North or
South-the traveller viii 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.

The President Wants the Boss to Keep
Behind the Scenes.
WASHINGTON, March 29s--Tom Platt, the
New York boss, came over to Washington
to-day for the express purpose of talking
over with the President the political situa.
tion of New York. He is about ready to
swing into the Harrison column, for he
realizes that there is little chance Of making
headway against the President. The PRESS
dent is always willing 20 talk to Mr. Platt.
in spite OF his opposition 10 his rsnomiua-
ton, because Mr.. Platt has been 50 manly
and honest in stating his real opinions. He
has not scrupled TO tell Mr.. Harrison that he
believes anonkers candidate would be
stronger at the polls and why
he believes so. The President and his
friends believe the New York
delegation will be for Harrison whether Mr.
Platt throws his influence that way or not.
The President and his friends feel that it
would be better for Mr.. Platt TO keep
little in the background since the defeat OF
last autumn, and will repay his frankuess
toward MIR. Harrison by like frankneos
toward him. They have no objection to his
keeping his hand on the party machinery If
be does it in a quiet way, but they are adj
vtslng him to give up his fight to 20 as
delegate at large TO Minneapolis, and to
keep behind the scenes as much as possible
during the coming campaign.

taken by Representative Nc Mil1in.
Anxiety to Get the Bill Before the
Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The Springer
free wool bill will probably be passed in the
House aud sent to the Senate within
week. This is the programme discussed as
series Of consultations between Speaker
Crisp, Mr.. McMillin and the democratic
members OF the ways and means committee,
and later approved by Chairman Springer.
IL will probably receive the formal lndorse-
ment Of the democratic majority of
the ways aud means committee to-
morrow, and the House win then, at
the proper time be requested to give its con-
currencs by agreeing to suspension OF the
rules for the passage OF the bill. Under
the programme contemplated the general
debate will probably be closed within two
or three days. and the bin will then be dis
cussed for a very brief time under the
6-minute rule. On Monday Chair
man Springer, who is rap
idly recovering from his severe
illness, will appear In the House and will
himself make the decisive motion for the
passage Of the bill. He may make a few
remarks in advocacy of the bill, but in his
enfeebled condition will not attempt any
elaborate closing argument. The entire
democratic programme was discussed and
practically rearranged within a period OF
three hours this afternoon and evening.
ALoNG DEBATE EXPECTED.
Up TO this week 1t has been expected that
the tariff discussion would be allowed to
continue With Interruptions for the pas
sage OF the appropriation bills until about
April 20, on which day Chairman Springer
was expected to appear in the House, make
the closing speech on the tariff debate and
move the passage of the bill which bears his
name. But within the past two
or three days Speaker Crisp. Repre-
sentative McMillin, and the demo-
ways and means have been discussing the
advisability of passing the several tariff
bills without delay In order that the appro-
priatIon bills might be promptly disposed OF
and a resolution passed by the House for
the adjournment OF congress about June 1.
The further necessity for the prompt pas-
sage OF one or more tariff bills arose from
the desire of the democratic leaders to give
the Senate ample time to discuss them be-
fore the final adjournment in the event of
the House proposing an adjournment by
June |. 1t therefore became necessary TO
send the tariff bills to the Senate as quickly
as possible in order that the republican
senators mighs not assert that insufficient
time had beeH given that body for dis
cussion OF the bills before ad iournmeat To
Is likely that in view OF Chairman Springer's
condition. Representative McMiliin, VINO
has had entire charge of the tariff bills in
the House, will make the closing speech In
advocacy of the bill.
