WASHINGTON. June S.-Perhaps the

Co,ublg, ON the island OF samar, where
an April 10 last party Of thirty-One
enlisted men of Company H, Forty

DAYS OF fierce fighting, relnforcements

band made a dash for the river bank.
Some OF them were killed before the

 New Ore Properties
 Telling of the purchase of new ore prop critics, MT. Baxter's report says:
 "As a sequence to the purchase of the Sheffield property, 1t became desirable to provide our own ore supply for that di- vision, 1t having an adequate amount of coal land and coke ovens, but no ore land of its own and up to the time of our pur- chase its ore supply having been derived entirely from contractors. l. therefore, pur- chased several tracks of rich ore land in the Russelville district and nave had the same developed, which provides an impor- tant and increasing portion of their sup ply, but in addition I thought it wise to acquire controlling interest in the first mortgage bonds of the Lady Ensley Coal, Iron and Railway Company, which proper ty Is In the course of liquidation through the courts, and embraces some of the rich est and best brown ore tributary to the Sheffield district; and at the same time available in case of need for the shipment of ore to Birmingham"

 President Baxter, in his report also tells of the purchase of the Bessemer rolling mill by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road Company. Discussing the advantage of having this plant and the steel mill at Ensley, he says: "The rolling mill plant has a present capacity of eighty tons Der day of muck bar and 120 tons per day of finisher iron or steel in assorted shapes and sizes.

The above laconically pictures the great Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany; and the writer might stop here, feel ing that he has furnished food for reflec- tion to those who are interested in the magnitude of those potent agencies which have made so sure and so rapid the ma terial development of the south.
 A detailed recital of all that is contained in catalogue of the company's property, an enumeration of smoke-stacks, and a description of the powerful modern ma chinery which propels the gigantic forces and produces such wonderful results would prove uninteresting to the average news paper reader, and beyond the province of a writer unemployed with technical phrase ology.
 History
 It was as far back as 1860 that the Legis- lature of Tennessee granted the original charter to this company. After this the company acquired the properties of the Sewannee Mining Company, the Southern States Coal, Iron and Land Company, and the Sewanee Furnace Company, all in the the State of Tennessee. In 1886 it acquired the properties of the Alice Furnace Com pany, the Pratt Coal and Iron Company, and the Linn Iron Works, all in Jeffer- son County, Alabama. In 1892 it acquired the properties of the DeBardeleban Coal and Iron Company, and the Cahaba Coal Mining Company, both in Alabama. In 1898 it secured control of the property of the Robinson Mining Company, and built the great steel works at Ensley In 1899, it acquired the properties of the Sheffield Coal, Iron and Steel Company and of the Smith Mining Company all of Alabama. In 1900 (this year) it acquired the Besse- mer Rolling Mill Company at Bessemer.
 All of the plants of the company are located in the States of Alabama and Ten nessee, and are grouped in divisions with a superintendent for each. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company produces more coal and more pig iron than all of the other coal and iron pro- ducers in the State of Alabama combined. With capital stock authorized and issued of $23 900 and bonded and stock capital aggregating $3O,OO0,0OO, 1t stands without peer in strength among the industrial agen- cies of the south.
 The brand of goods produced by the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company are:
 Steel-Ensley Basic open-hearth.
 Pig Iron-Ensley, Bessemer, DeBardele- ben, Oxmoor Eureka, Alice, Sheffield, South Pttsburg, Foundry, Forge, Mill, Basic OpenHearth and Thomas
