Mobiles Ambition
Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register.
 The visit of the Illinois and Alabama cap italists to Mobile yesterday may be pro- ductive of great benefit to this community, although we must frankly confess that there are obstacles in the way of the car rying out of any plans they may contem- plate. These obstacles are not local so much as latftudinal, but we do not regard them as insuperable.
 The leading man in yesterdays party is J. w. Gates, president of the Illinois Steel company. Another prominent man is H. l.. Babccock, general manager of the Chicago Ship Building company. MT. Gates company is engaged in making plates and structural york; which are used in ship building. So gerat is the success of his works that he is able to undersell British plate makers in their own territory, and has sold a quantity of American plates to Glasgow builders. MT. Babcock's company does extensive work in the construction of steel and iron ships, mostly for use on the gerat lakes These gentlemen and associates were invited by MT. M. H. Smith, president of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad company, to visit Birmingham, where a steel mill is about to be erected and to come thence to Pensacola and to Mobile, in order that they might have personal acquaintance with the localities, and see for themselves what the outlook here is for an expansion of their industries. We do not understand that they came south looking for any par ticular site for works of the kind they are operating in Chicago, but as guests of MT.
