and certain success of such enterprises here.
 In 1887 the Sloss Iron and Steel Com- pany was organized, and at once absorbed the Sloss Furnace Company. Hon. Joseph F. Johnston, now Governor of Alabama, was it's first president, and he was sue ceeded by MT. Thomas Seddon, who, after a few years of successful management died. MT. Sol Haas was then made presi- dent, and is still at the head of this great corporation.
 The New Company
 On the 1th day of August, 1899, the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company was in- corporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey with an authorized capital stock of $2O,oOO,OO0, one-half being preferred stock and the other common. There has been issued of the total capital stock s14, 100000, of which $6,70O,OOO is preferred and $7,50O000 is common.
 This company Is the owner of one fur mace at Florence and other property there; also the Hattie Ensley Furnace at Shef- field, and a large part of the Lady Ensley Furnace, now organized Into the North Alabama Furnace Company.

pansion and strengthening of Birming- hams elements of progress and develop ment The Sloss Iron and Steel Company was the first great corporation to produce iron in the Birmingham district on a gigantic scale. True, there were pioneers preceding this company who demonstrated values and possibilities in most successful way, but 1t was this giant corporation which first placed a strong hand upon the re- sources of the districts and achieved re- suits in magnificent proportions.
 The "Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Com pany' and the "Sloss Iron and Steel Com pany" are now written as two technically speaking; practically and truthfully they are one and the same, and shall be so treated in this article.
 Historical
 Birmingham was in its infancy, when, in 1881, Col. W Sloss and his associates or ganized the Sloss Furnace Company and built two blast furnaces just beyond the eastern corporate limits of this city. Just to the west of the city the Alice Furnace, under Mr. Hillman's management, and six miles below the Oxmoor Furnace, were then in blast, and these were the only pig iron plants in the immediate district, but they were enough to demonstrate the value

 The main bodies of coal property owned by this company are located in what Is known as the Warrior Coal Fields, and the district carrying the Pratt seam. In this rich and famous field the company owns a total of about 50,0O0 acres. Modern Machinery Equipment

 An Industrial Power
 With land-ownings so great in magni- tude, extending over dozen counties of Alabama rich in it's storehouses of the best steam coal, with supply inexhaustible, absolutely owning it's beds of ore and lime
 stone; miles of railroad track, fully
 equipped with locomotives and other mod ern appliances, 1t is no wonder that this
 great company is such a power in the in-
 dustrial world; no wonder it's securities
 command so much attention at the hands of the financial and commercial markets; i no wonder 1t is growing in strength and
 greatness every day. It is wealth-pro-
 ducer, builder, developer, an enricher
 of towns, cities, counties and of the great
 State of Alabama, the natural resources of which make possible the magnitude and
 the success of this gigantic enterprise. It's Management The organization of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company comprises an able corps of officers and managers, as fol- lows:

and limestone deposits in inexhaustible quantities, has not even yet attained that powerful position in the world of mining and manufacturing to which the stock holders, directors and executive officers propose to move it. If the company's seven blast furnaces today produce daily 1,500 tons of pig iron, her management is aware that with seven more blast furnaces she can produce as much more. If her coal mines produce 1000 tons of coal per day now, it is only an insight into the great possibilities for the future.
 Pioneer in Evaporation
 The Sloss-Sheffield, or its parent com pany, was not only the pioneer in the work of manufacturing pig iron in monster quantities in this district, but was first to demonstrate the practicability of es- tablishing a foreign export trade, in order to meet the emergency of a depressed do- mestic market at any time. Beginning in 1894, this company exported 100; in 1895. 101 tons; in 1896, 26250 tons; In 1897, 5O,S66 tons; in 1898, 66,927 tons, in 1899, 3O,3O0 tons.
 The cause of this falling off of exports in 1899 is apparent to any casual obserer-a strong demand and high prices at home. As the foreign iron prices from time to time reach the American parity, the Sloss-
