animation. But now that our industries have taken on new lease of life 1t has again been put on loot. And the corpora tioD embraces the great developer of the Birmingham district, which is a surety for it's success. This gentleman is indefatiga- ble, tireless and never discouraged. He has developed nearly every big industry in the Birmingham district. He has enriched others, added greatly to the wealth of the county and the revenues of the State. His movements mean something.
 IL is generally understood that two wealthy New Workers, who recently visited Birmingham, have combined with a strong company to develop the Warrior coal fields, just west of Birmingham. This means coal mining on a gigantic scale, with all modern machinery and improved appliances. It seems that coal mining has stood the hard times better than any other industry. The mining of iron ore for ihe year 1893 in the United States fell off 1, 7C0,- GOO tons, while there was no decrease in the mining of coal. Even during the depres- sion new avenues for the sale of coal were widened. The prospect is that when all the industries revive the demand for coal will exceed the supply. The fact that coal mining has held it's own becomes all the more significant wheu we note the great falling off in other lines. The year 1893 as compared to 1892 shows a falling off in the production of pig iron of 1000 ,00o tous, a decline in Bessemer steel ingots of 1,00,- 900 tons and about 300, coo tons of steel rails.

THE statement of Birmingham bank just issued shows nearly $500, 1000 individual deposits and over S324 ,000 available re- sources. This latter amount is ready to be loaned on good collateral. If put into ac- tive use, as it doubtless soon will be, it would start a number of small manufac- tories, open several coal mines or build a couple of blast furnaces. The other banks report plenty of money on hand. There Is no trouble in getting money with good col- lateral.

An interesting electrical pumping plant
has been set to work at the Cooperative
Culliery, Newcastle, Australia. During
heavy flood the water got beyond the exist
Ing steam pumps at the colliery aud de-
scended further into the workings to point
some 900 yards from the nearest available
steam boiler. To erect steam pipe OF
this length was considered unadvisable.
and the engineer of the cOlliery accord
lnSly recommended the adoption OF an
electrical plant. The total head to be
pumped against inclusive of pipe
friction, was 80 feet. but as the de-
livery pipe was only three inches in
diameter the effective head at the de-
sired rate of discharge was brought up
to $50 feet. The work was carried out by
the CrOmplODs Electric Supply Company,
who provided a series-wound generator
giving 10 amperes at 800 volts. The pump
Is of Tangyes' belt-driven type. and the
pump III tOr is connected with the genera
tor by 7.16 copper cable supplied by the
Calender Company. The plant is said to
have exceeded expectations, the discharge
being 300 gallons an hour, as against an
estimate Of $500 gallons per hour.-En-
