The first iron discovered in this coun- try was in 1885. in North Carolina The first pig iron made in the United States was in Virginia, near Richmond, in 1920. Notwithstanding this early beginning 1t was nearly one hundred years later be- fore any practical or commercial success was attained. Then followed the intro duction of the manufacture of iron in Maryland. North Carolina. South Car olina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama Tennessee did not make iron until 1795 and Alabama not until 1S1S
 The progress and development of the iron industry was slow and uneventful until after the close of the civil war. The methods that have been employed up to that time were but little different from those brought over from England when the industry was started in this country. The close of the civil war, the abolition of slavery, with the lessons of necessity that followed. gradually developed the iron industry of the south, which was necessarily slow for the reason that the south had no money, no knowledge of the business and no experience
 On account of the demoralized condi- tions incident to the reconstruction pe- riod capital would not seek this field of investment. The first notable success in the manufacture of coke iron was in Maryland, in 1S40. The first fire brick stove for heating the blast was built at Rising Pawn, Dade county, Georgia. The first coke furnace erected in the south after the civil war was in east Tennes- see, in 1869, by northern capital. Abram s. Hewett and Edward Cooper were among the original stockholders and are still connected with the company.
 From 1869 to 1879 was a period of grad ual depression, eliminating in 1877, when values began slowly to improve and con- tinued to do so until the fall of 1879. when prices "shot up like rocket, forge iron advancing from $1S0O ton at Birmingham to $40.00 per ton In three monlns. This phenominal advance only served to demonstrate the truth of the

STRANGER THAN FICTION. A Remedy Which Has Revolutionized the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.

The remedy is not heralded as won- derful discovery nor yet secret patent medicine, neither is it claimed to cure anything except dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach troubles with which nine out of ten suffer.
 The remedy is in the form of pleasant tasting tablets or lozonges, containing vegetable and fruit essences. pure aseptic pepsin Government tesD, golden seal and diastase. The tablets are sold by druggists under the name of Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets Many interesting ex- periments to test the digestive power of Stuarts tablets show that one grain of the active principle contained in them is sufficient to thoroughly digest 5000 grains of raw meat, eggs and other wholesome food.
 Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the bowels like after dinner pills and cheap cathartics, which simply irritate and in- flame the intestines without having any effect whatever in digesting food or cur ing indigestion.
 If the stomach can be rested and as- sisted in the work of digestion 1t will very soon recover it's normal vigor, as no organ is so much abused and over worked as the stomach.
 This is the secret, if there is any secret, of the remarkable success of Stuart S Dyspepsia Tablets. a remedy practically unknown a few years ago and now the most widely known of any treatment for stomach weakness.
 The success has been secured entirely upon it's merits as a digestive pure and simple because there can be no stomach trouble if the food is promptly digested. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely on the food eaten, digesting 1t complete ly, so that 1t can be assimilated into 1 blood, nerve and tissue They cure dys- pepsia, water brash. sour stomach, gas I.IA f4.,nr of furnish the digestive power which weak l stomachs lack and unless that lack is supplied it is useless to attempt to cure 1 by the use of "tonics," pills and ca l thartics which have absolutely no di- l gestive power.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found at all drug stores and the regular use of one or two of them after meals will demonstrate their merit better than any other argument.

 The indications are that another de- cade will see and verify the predictions of Edward Atkinson and Abram s. View itt that the production and consumption of pig iron in this country will reach the enormous aggregate of twenty-five mill lion tons annually. The question natu- rally arises where will the iron be made? The south will necessarily get a large part of it, on account of cheap, reliable and abundant labor, close proximity of raw material, temperate and inviting climate, a fertile and versatile soil. splen- did transportation facilities, geographic cal position. and the knowledge of the fact that all these conditions exist in the south

COAL IN ABUNDANCE.
Found Along Yukon For Distance
OF 1900 Miles.

Seattle, Oct. 3.-Coal in abundance
is to be found along the Yukon rive,
for nearly 800 miles, according to the
report OF Arthur ]. Collier, which be
will make to the geological survey. Mr..
Collier has spent the entire summer in
his investigations. He has travelled
from the head OF navigtion on the Yu.
kon to the mouth OF the river, and has
found deposits OF coal distributed along
almost the entire distance. The coal
is of good quality and burns we'll in the
river steamers. few OF which make
use of it as fuel. 1t is more easily pro-
durable than wood, which, as time goes
on, is becoming scarcer and more ex.
pensive. The deposits in many cases
are particularly we'll located for COM
mercial purposes, and transportation on
the Yukon is not costly.
A peculiar feature of the coal in a
latitude so far north that it is frozen to
a depth OF $50 feet or more, and tina,
this action results in reducing it almos,
to FORMULATION. Its burning qualities
though, are not impaired through this
action and below the level mentioned
the coal is much the same az that found
in a more temperaet latitude.

kLONDIkE GOLD.
Yield This Season Is Estimated al
Twelve Million Dollars.

Seattle, Oct. 6.-The yield OF gold
from the klondike region this season
will exceed sl2, 900, 900. This total is
lighter than that OF las, season, but
those in touch with the situation in
and about Dawson believe a big in.
crease will be shown next year. The
change in mining operations now under
way is expected 10 produce this result.
The Sl2 ,000,0 900 brought out from
the vicinity OF Dawson has been han
died principally by the Alaska Pacific
Express company Of Seattle. Up to the
time OF the arrival OF the Humboldt the
company had brought *9,500.000 from
Dawson, and the Humboldt added near.
ly half million more to this total.
The remaining vessels will bring
smaller shipments OF gold. Practically
all the gold shipped out from Dawson
came to the states in this manner, the
Northern Commercial company being
the only large handler OF gold dust that
shipped ont its own holdings.
1t is predicted that the operations
Of large companies on the rich klon-
dixie streams with hydraulic and other
machinery will result in a large in
crease OF the output from that district.
The companies will 60 over much OF the
ground already worked by miners with

liable cleanups will result where it has
been thought heretofore the ground was
scarcely worth working
"The shipments Of mining machinery
to Dawson for use in the klondike dis
trict during the present year have been
enormous, said f. c. Newton, auditor
and general agent OF the Alaska Pacific
company, who has just returned from
the Yukon metropolis. Next year
this machinery will be used in going
over the dumps which have been depos-
tied by the workings OF the smaller op.
orators, who have not attempted the
