The 57S4 houses built in Birmingham
and vicinity since the last census would
indicate an increase of %, $40 in popula-
tion.
The reports show that this district IS
now consuming nearly one-third of the
entire output Of pig iron for the state
With the addition of one or more steel
plants. now in contemplation. the en-
largement of foundries and machine shops
and the building of others, 1t may be ex-
pected that at no very distant day prac-
tically all the pig iron made in the state
will be turned into the finished forms
which enter into the general trade Of the
country
The annual increase In the output OF
coal in the state has for the past five
years averaged nearly one million tons.
If this Is maintained. at the end Of the
next decade Alabama will be mining
twenty million tons of coal per annum.
During the same period the output OF
pig iron has increased considerably over
600 tons per annum. If this rate OF
increase is maintained, at the end of the
next decade the output will exceed two
and a half million tons per annam.
When we consider however. that three
new furnaces are being built at Gadsden.

one al Woodward and that an old char
coal furnace of small capacity at OK
moor is being rebuilt for a daily capacity
of $50 tons, making ten new furnaces. and
that there Is a strong probability of two
or more being built about Birmingham
in the near future. 1t Is not unreasonable
to suppose that the output of pig iron
will, within ten years. reach four mil
lion tons per annum.
The Tonnage.
The rapidly increasing tonnage of this
district is attracting the railroad world.

Jumping Wyoming Oil Claims.
Salt Lake. Jan. "A special to the
Tribune last night from Wyoming
says:
The rush for claims in the Uintah oil
fields still continues and from the pres
ent outlook more than a week will
elapse before the locating will have
been completed. So far as known,
there has been no bloodshed. although
shots were exchanged in many cases.
Up to midnight last night a person
could well imagine himself in the heart
OF q hostile country. Fires, marking
the corners Of claims. were lighted BY
the thousands, and these. together with
hundreds Of locators camped near them,
reminded one Of bivouac at war.
Colonel Ketchum, at the head Of
twelve desperate cowboys. well armed
and mounted, carried the Aspen coun-
try by storm. At midnight they rode
forward down the section lines, setting
stakes as they came to the corners. As
the first stakes were being driven they
were greeted by volley Of gunshots
from opposing locators, but the bullets
all went wild Of their marks. Swinging
to their saddles the party darted for
ward. nor did 1t cease until they had
located every section open for filing.
