OF SOUTHERN STATES

The rehabilitation Of the South Is the
most stupendous event IN the history OF
our times.
Fifty years ago this great section pre-
seRted a scene OF desolaton which cannot
De pictured IN words. With the groans
OF the dying heard throughout the land
were mingled the lamentations Of those
whom death robbed. From hills and val
leys the smoke or burning homes had not
vanished The plow stood idle in bar
ren furrOw. while children were crying
Tor bread The pandemOnium Of recon-
strucuon was stin 10 follow, and the
broken spirit OF the people 70 suffer its
bitterest humiliation.
Il has been remarked that from this
chaos there emerged triUmphantly the
boy and the mule % save the country.
Silently and without enthusiasm the
work Of rehabilitation was begun The
task was one which called for more
courage and endurance than did war. but
the boy and the mule stood by their
post. and finally the men took heart.
IN few years the South had again
regained control OF the cotton market
Notwithstanding the efforts OF England

to make her factories independent Of the
Southern supply. New uses of cotton

true. but with sufficient clearness 70 in
fuse hope into the work OF reconstruction
By 1850 the South was well along the
way OF that Industrial development which
has since continued uninterruptedly and
in ever increasing measure. Since that
year the true value OF her property has
Increased 1S7 per cent, and the expendi-
ture OF her common schools 2S5 per cent
The value Of her farm products has IN
creased 80 per cent since 1850. and the
growth OF her textile industries Is to be
measured 10y an increase in capital in
vested iH cotton mills OF 11-69 per cent
In Southern manufactures S2.100.000.0o 600 IS
invested. The fruit and vegetable indus
try. as vet in its infancy last year added
over 500 0oo. 600 90 her treasury. Southern
coal and iron supplies are the richest
in the world. and the forested area Of
the South IS seven-tenths Of the forested
area Of the United States.
If the progress Of the South is told
IN big figures. its potentialities are more
bigger stil. and must prove Inspiring TO
every man and woman who learns them-
Because the story OF the South's re-
sources and development has never been
presented fully by any newspaper. The
Washington Herald announces a series Of

Although the immense flow Of the Rio

nevertheless the Mexican government. IN

BAUXITE MINED In SOUTH
It Is Produced in Commercial Guam
titles in Four States.
From 1t Is Manufactured Aluminium,
the Chief Factory Being at
Niagara Falls.

In the last issue OF the Southern Prog
ress Section appeared an article on the
uses Of aluminium and the principal places
OF its manufacture, with some data with
reference 10 the product and its value.
In that article It was made plain that the
metal aluminium is worth about $50 a ton.
Aluminium is derived from bauxite,
which is mined exclusively in the South
era States The ores are sold at less
than s. a ton
From the advance sheets OF the chapter
on Mineral Resources Of the United
States IN 1908" to be published by the
Geological Survey, appears the following
regarding the production Of bsuxite:
The production OF bauxite in the United
States IN 1908 amounted 10 52,I67 long tons.
valued at S26S, ,9sS. a decrease Of $500 tons,
or nearly 47 per cent in quantity. and OF
S216,S62 or - per cent IN value. as com
pared with the production Of 1907. The
average price Of the material az the mines
was about s5.0s long tons. an advance Of
j. cents over the price in 1907.
The list Of States producing bauxite on
a commercial scale remains as in 1861
These States are Alabama. Arkansas,
Georgia, and Tennessee As in past years.
Arkansas leads In production with an
output Of considerably more than 90 per
cent OF the total The actual production
Of this State, however, fell of about 43
per cent, and that Of Georgia and Ten
nessee also decreased, the production OF
Alabama increased.
Taking into account the fact that alu-
minUm is manufactured chiefly at Nj
agara Falls, y Y, the remark Of DR.. c.
W Hayes before the Southern CONNER
cial Congress is pertinent. He said:
Mineral deposits are potentially rather
than actually valuable and their fun
value is secured only in so far as thew
form the basis for local industries, while

iron ORES OF VIRGINIA
Report Issued by the United States
Geological Survey.
Brown Ores OF Three Varieties and
Hematite Of Two Kinds in
Old Dominion.

The Geological Surveys bulletin enti-
tied Contributions TO Economic Geology
for 1908, Part T. contains a preliminary
report on the iron ores OF the Appala-
chan region in Virginia, by E. c. Har-
der.
The report outlines briefly the iron ores
OF Virginia according to classes and dis
tricts, contains q short review OF the iron
ores Of the Piedmont region. and de-
scribes in some detail the iron ores Of the
Appalachian region.
The Appalachian iron ores Of Virginia
are principally brown ore, Of three varie-
ties. and hematite, OF two varieties. Mag
netite occurs at a few localities, associat-
ed with limestone; iron carbonate is
found locally as cOncretiOns in many Of
the sh2le formations; pxrite is found in
sufficient abundance in some places TO be
used IN the manufacture of sulphuric
acid, and the residue Of iron oxide Cblua
billy is sometimes used in steel manu-
lecture.
The mountain brown ores occur along
the Blue Ridge and in the New River dis
trict IN small poeket-like deposits IN re-
sidual material. The principal ore bear
inS areas lie in two belts, one extending
from Front Royal on the north 20 Roa-
nOke on the south, the other from Ali
sonia on the northeast to a point within
short distance Of the Tennessee lire.
Between these two belts there is a non
workable area about forty miles in length
Al few places is either bed more than =
few miles wide.
IN the Blue Ridge district the ores occur
mainly az or near the west foot of the
mountains. In the New River district the
cIes occur on the north slopes OF the
ridges south Of the valley of New River
and on minor ridges within the valley.

actei and the geologic relations Of the
various ores and contains many geoIosic

The actual tonnage statistics for what
win move via the Trinity River Canal
are practically impossible to gather. but
the United States government engineers
in recommending the improvement OF the
Trinity River stated that there were (at
a rough estimatel 100000 acres OF hard
wood timber OF a great many varieties
which could only be marketed on a water
rate and which was chiefly located along
the line of the Trinity River The value
o. this timber standing. at a low estimate.
is S50.C00000. 1t viii cut not less than
5000 feet of sawed lumber 20 the acre
and some of Il as much as eight or ten
times that amount. Ii will therefore,
produce 10000. OO0, 600 feet of sawed lumber,
which If cut at the rate of 100000 feet
annually would require twenty years TO
exhaust it.
The engineers report also shows that
beginning 125 miles by river (Which is
about 20 miles In a straight line) below
Dallas that brown or Ignite coal Is found
outcropping IN more than twenty places
along the banks in veins or from three to
twelve feet IN thickness The report shows
that for 50 miles bordering on the river
and extending inland into Henderson and
Anderson counties immense deposits Of
farrfr her, rH~ 10
are found carrying 100000 tons 10 the
square mile.
Mined by Natural Erosion.
State geological reports say in regard
10 these ores that the enormous erosion
which this region has undergone has
been the means OF removing the soft
underlying sands and allowing the ore
blocks and fragments TO fall down along
the sides Of the hills. until now this ac-
cumulation forms deposits OF ore many
feet fl thickness. which viii require
years Of steady mining 10 remove before
the ore beds now in place VIII have TO be

ore field each square mile carries : 000. .00o

and shipped to the smelter. Specimens
OF this ore collected in the field give an

SUPPLANTS TELEGRAPH KEY
Illinois Central InstaIIE New system,

Eliminates Technical KnOwledge
in Train Dispatcher's office.

Chicago, July "A broader field for
promotion in the railway service viii be
opened by the substitution of the tele-
phone for the telegraph in the operation
OF trains on the Illinois Central system
Heretofore one Of the best stepping
stones in railway service was the tele-
graph key. Trainmasters, division su-
periEtendents, and other officers usually
came up through the avenue OF the tele-
graph key. but the goal was difficult to
reach because Of the technical knowledge
necessary 10 be an operator. While this
branch OF the service has and does en-
brace a fine class Of men, their technical
advantage has made it difficult for those
not understanding the click OF the key TO
make much headway.
Eliminates Technical knowledge.

graph. Any man Of average intelligence

mitting over the telephone orders for the
operation Of trains and messages in con-
nectiOn with traffic. This opens the field
TO clerks. engineers. conductors. and any
others who may demonstrate their abil-
fly 10 handle trains and otherwise trans
act the business Of the railroad at differ
ent points.
Heretofore other employees Of a rail-
road, on account OF their Ignorance OF
telegraphing. have been barred from such
work and by reason Of this handicap 9th
erwise intelligent trainmen and others
We're prevented from stepping TO higher
positions IN the transportation service.
The telephone now opens the entire rail-
way world to anybody who can prove
they have a brain, educated fingers being
no longer a test.
Shortage Among Operators.
During busy seasons every railroad OF
Importance in the country has been short
Of telegraph operators. and there has
been a daily demand al the way from
% to 100 on each system. As traffic could
not be moved without the services OF
these men the officers could not always
inquire too closely into the characters OF
the picks-up. their ability as operators
being the major test. This resulted in
the forced temporary employment OF
many unfit telegraphers.
In one instance last fall where there
was a Jam on and extra operators were
imperative. a recruit was sent 10 a sta
ton near Chicago. The same night this
man. though n good operator. broke into
the station safe. stole $50. and skipped.
Required technical knowledge in the past
has made such cases possible.
Under the new system telegraph opera
tors of ability and character have moth
ing TO fear as the Illinois Central is re-
tanning all Of these men. merely turning
the telephone over TO them instead Of the
key RaiifOading by telephones is also
less OF a physical strain than by teie-
graphing. OTHELLO F. ANDREWS
