PROGRESS IN SPAIN.
The Country Is beginning to Manu-.
facture Steel from Its own
Rich Ores.

All Americans are interested in the
efforts which Spain is making to de-
Velop the country's natural resources
and increase its prosperity, says the
New York Sun.
For many years Spain has permitted
practically all her mineral wealth to
be taken abroad for manufacture, a
part of it coming back to the country
Tor sale in the finished state. Efforts
are now being made to smelt her iron
ore at home in the hope that the in
-dustry will develop so that Spain will
herself produce all the iron and STEEL
her people need. The region'near Bar
celona and little west of it has for
years produced some iron, but it has
cut very small figure in the country's
production.
A Spanish firm of nail makers, which
has always purchased the wire re-
'~qnired its factory from foreign coun-
tries, is now erecting a. large mill and
expects to make its own wire. Very
large steel works recently completed
are now in operation at BadaIona and
are turning out steel castings of the
very best quality.
The equipment is first-cIass and it
rs said that the works can turn out
% different qualities of steel from the
-sOftest to the hardest graded, suitable
for tools. 1t is reported that the new
works will be able to place steel plates
-On the market at prices considerably
cheaper than anything now offered
IN spite of the disadvantages of stu
alton, Badalona being far from both
the iron and coal-mining districts of
Spain.
The leading citizens of the country
expect in the next few years important
development in the home iron industry
and believe that the success of this
branch of enterprise will stimulate
manufacturing in ether directions.
The government is expanding large
sums to secure the fuller utilization
of the water supplies for the irrigation
of rich lands that need only water to
make them very fertile.
The educational system is also being
AAOOCInIZCU, anu III Is cApcCISu Uudb
the school reforms now being intro
Sduced after long study as to the most
effective means of diminishing the
prevalent illiteracy will in the next
generation show a marked improve
Snent in the intellectual development
aeOf the masses.
Spain no longer has incessant colo
s1ial wars to distract her attention and
waste her substance. The thought of
the leading minds in the country is
turned to measures of internal i'm
provement in many directions. The
prospect is that the next decade will
soffer to the general public many adj
7Vantages which they have not hitherto
enjoyed, which will conduce to the
moral and material prosperity of the
nation.
