Mineral Wealth of the South.

About one-seventh of the mineral
production Of the entire country
comes from the Southern States. OF
bituminous coal, the most valuable
mineral, the south produces one
fourth, and of iron about one-ninth.
It's total coal resources amount to
nearly 500, 900, 100000 tons, or more
than one-fourth Of our estimated coal
reserve.
Of mineral chemical materials the
south supplies more than one-haf,
chiefly. phosphate rock, all of which
is produced in Florida, Tennessee
and South Carolina, and nearly one
third of the mineral pigments. Of
precious stones the whole country
produces only s325,ooo, with the
south furnishing its fair share.
The showing in iron ore reserves is
quite as good; safe minimum is
5000, 100000 tons, or nearly one
third of the nations total. OF work
able iron ore the south contains one
and one-half times as much as the
famous Lake Superior district, and
this does not include the deep lying
southern ores, unworkable at present.
But all ores must be counted in any
estimate Of iron reserve.
On a basis of value Of product the
south furnishes more than two-sev-
enths of our oil and more than one
sixth Of our gas.-World's Work.

to our city treasury is being gotten at
too high a cost. It brings cruel treat

appeal in behalf Of suffering. sentient
creatures who are crying out in their
bondage in the midst Of these scorch-
