 "The Red Mt. Iron Works referred to by the Age-Herald today in a quota tion from the New York Herald Of Apr1l 15, 1S65-the day Abraham Lincoln died- as having been burned, together with the village of Elyton,' by the Federal troops under General McCook, about the 1st of April, 1885, was the first pig iron furnace built in what Is now known the world over as the Birmingham district said former Probate Judge Porter yesterday.
 'rhe precise location of this first fore runner of Alabama's great industrial de- yelopment was at Oxmoor. The late 5. E. Grace, writing on the early history of Jefferson County, gives credit to the South and North Alabama Railroad, now division of the Louisville and Nash vile system, for the early development of this section.
 "'At the beginning of the war between the states wrote MT. Grace, this rail- road was approaching the mineral region of Alabama, which caused the develop ment of the Cahaba coalheld before that of the Warrior coalheld About th's time the company, the South and North conceived the idea of erecting iron works near Red Mountain, and did erect two rude furnaces during the war at a point seven miles south of Birmingham, and called the place Oxmoor.
 "One of the furnaces was run awhile, but was destroyed in March, 1885. by Wilson's army (McCooks command). The experiment had not been encourag- ing up to that time. as the company was imposed upon by incompetent persons desiring to keep out of the war. Tt was not until 1t fell into the hands of Mr. DeBardeleben and his associates that 1t began to show profitable results"

Mir Phillips shows that at time, 1896, the cost of making bessemer iron in western Pennsylvania, was $1042; of hematite iron in the north of England, $s.75; of Cleveland iron in England, SITS; of basic pig iron in the Vest phalia district in Germany. $1o.74. Items of cost have been advanced since 1896, but there is no reason to believe that the changes have been against one section in favor of an- other, Relative costs stand in former proportions no doubt, although there are no figures with which to sustain this statement The figures will come later.

Cost of Piq Iron.

William B. Phillips discusses in recent number of the Engineering and Mining Journal the cost of producing iron in the United States. He admits at the outset that it is not possible to average the cost over the entire coun- try. on account of adverse conditions. Tt is manifastly unjust" he says, ito compare the cost of making bessemer iron in eastern Ohio or Pennsylvania with the cost of making foundry iron in Alabama, or even with the cost of making bessemer iron in Colorado" Conditions are too diverse.
 In 1894 John Berkenbine put the cost of making Alabama iron at $720; of west Pennsylvania iron, at $749; of east Pennsylvania iron, at $960, and of west Pennsylvania bessemer pig, at s9.70. MT. Phillips proceeds to show that Alabama iron was made about 1897 at cost as low as $5.50 at some furnaces for short time, but that s650 was the average cost of that period. We give his figures for 1896:
