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:
dant. and they, with the manganese ores,
have been so clearly mapped by the geo
logical survey that in the event Of the es-
adjustment 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
growth faT beyond the calculations of the
most sanguine advocates. There will I'M
doubtedly be 4 demand from without for
these hard ores, and the SmelterS OF East
ern Texas are beginning 10 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, a
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 q producer of Iron Ores

MINERALS AND STONES.

The above statements are easily made,
out 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
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,
manganese, materials for glass and pottery
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.

LOCATION,

LLANO County is situated in the noun
famous region of Central Texas, about
seventy-five miles northwest of Austin.
Mountain ranges traverse the county. LY-
ing between these ranges are broaagfse
valleys, covered Yith.ztsssz1 ana
felds as4s6dhdman The county has
1zIsest OF about co., 900 acres, comprising
the finest grazing and stock-raising lands
in the state. Until within few years its
population consisted of a few herdsmen,
living in their scattered huts, but recently
the county has progressed amazingly in ag-
riculture, and now has about $4,000 acres
under cultivation. The population, too,
has increased at I rapid pace, and now
humble nearly 10000 Flourishing little
towns have sprung upi various parts of the
county, with churches, schools and all the
comforts CT civilization. Nature has be-
slowed her beauty lavishly upon the region,
giving it mild and healthful climate, high
altitude, pure and invigorating atmos-
phere, and a never-failing abundance Of
water, both in springs and large streams.

"A comparison of the results will show
at glance and without further comment,
the standard and average quality of the
ores.
1t is unnecessary to multiply examples
further. For all purposes of comparison
those that are here presented will amply
suffice. An examination of the ANALYSES
here given, of the authenticity of which
there can be no doubt, shows
!, That the Llano county ores are richer
in metallic iron than those of any of the
Lake Superior regions, the famous Corn
wall ore bank, or the Santiago de Cuba
mines.
?. That the percentage of phosphorus
is exceedingly small, and so far below the
Bessemer limit as to establish beyond doubt
the utility of the ores for steel-making by
the ordinary or acid process.
3. That the value of the Llano county
ores IS enhanced by the notable absence of
sulphur in their composition
4. That the element of silica enters into
the composition of the ores only in a very
low percentage, which would in no wise
prove detrimental in iron or steel making
An auction sale of lots viii be held during
the month of April, to which all are invited.
In the meantime we solieitit an inspection
of the resources upon which we shall surely

tention of the homeseeker and the business

For immediate business, LIano will be

population of 81, 1876 as shown by the gov
eminent census of June, 1880. Forty thou
sand people would be a low estimate on the
population to-day.
THIS ALONE will build city of from
6000 to 5000 inhabitants and, us our town at
present does not number over 1900 souls,
''he who runs" can see the plain fact @lat
there is an immediate demand for ALSO
lutely ALL lines of trades and professions,
and that property will go to city prices. in
stead of village prices, as they are to-day.

1t is not necessary to describe further the

"VALLEY OF THE LLANO"

Is from five to ten miles wide, covered
with timber and carpeted with flowers.
To one who, for tne first time, ascends
Town 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, a 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, Ky native land"
For truly, go East or West-go North or
South-the traveller viii not find 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.
