big gang of men will soon be put to

Mexico, says an exchange, has
large quantities of the finest kind of
iron ore and chihuahua is soon to have
an extensive steel plant for the man
ufaoture of all kinds of steel work.
This work can be done cheaper in this
city than in England or the United
States, provided cheap fuel can be OBJ
tanned. There are coal deposits along
the Gulf coast of Mexico, there are
fields of coal lying near: the Pacific
slope: but the coal is along way from
here and expensive to mine. If it was
practicable to get good coal laid down
in chihuahua for say IS silver per ton.
great increase in manufacturing en-
terprises would be seen and felt. Why
don't some of our energetic Anglo
Americans go to work and prospect for
coal deposits as diligently as they do
for silver and copper ore.
