SPANS PROGRESS.
the United States stripped Spain

When the United States stripped Spain
Sof her fairest provincial possessions,
il was said by some 1houglltless oh
servers that Spain was ruined. The
{ Times. however. pointed out then that
50 long as Spain had her fertile fields.
abundant vineyards, wide olive groves
and undereloped mineral resources.
she could not be called ruined, 40
matter what reverses she had suffer
Led in the Spanish-American war.
We have had occasion to point cut
! the value OF the oil and wine exported
from Spain, as well as the great reye-
nue. derived from her fruit and cattle
trade. But the information in regard
to che mineral resources Of this coull-
| try has heretofore been scanty aud in
sufficient. However, With the awaken
ed interest in the minerals of Spain,
there has come not only q widening
trade in this sphere. but also statistics
that will be of great value to the IN.
resting public, as well as to those who
are interested in the history OF the de-
veiopmert Of national resources
An important event during the past
