and settled on what is now the Joseph R. Smith farm in Bibb county.
 The grave of Maj. John Mahan may be seen today on a hill on the Smith farm. A stone marking the grave bears the inscription, Mai. John Mahan, 1920" The date indicates the year of his death.
 Mahan creek was named for these early settlers.
 Among the plants that made Brier- field prosperous and busy in its glory days was a furnace, rolling mill, ma chine shop, nail factory, pattern shop, keg factory, large sawmills, coke ovens, two large bakeries, a wagon factory and other smaller industries.
 The iron in this section is of su- perior quality of brown ore and was selected by experts for the manufacture of implements.
 Most of the cannon and other war implements manufactured for the con- federate forces at the Selma arsenal were from iron mined and melted at Brierfeld. The old Bibb furnace had daily capacity of 25 tons. The old rolling mill had a daily capacity of ten tons. Both plants were taken over by forced purchase by the Confederate te government al the beginning of the war and were operated under the direction of General Gorgas, chief of ordnance.
 Brierie1d today is only shadow Of its past glory.
 Most of the buildings have been torn and moved away. Some of the historic buildings of the place have have been sold at ridiculously low prices as scrap.

EnsIey Schools Show 15 Per Cent In- crease in EnrOIIment Over That of Last Year-GeneraI News
 of the Steel City

The skeleton which was found in No. 8 mine of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company at Ensley was brought to the surface today and was found to be that of negro. The grewsome find was made by the fire boss, who came across it in a worked-out room. At first foul play was suspected, but there were no indications to bear out that theory.
 The supposition now is that the negro was a victim of the fire that occurred in this mine about two years ago when seven miners lost their lives, and that he tried to escape the death-dealing fire by taking refuge in the old room. No in quest has been held.

 The old nail factory building, as stated above, went to the Smith farm as barn and many of the other pub lie and private buildings of the place have been moved away to Montevallo and other points.
 The few buildings that remain are scattered over a large territory There is but little hint of the prosperous and busy city that once existed here.
 The largest and most influential church in the place in those golden days of the city was of the Catholic Naith Now it is gone with all its members I am told there is one Catholic family in Montevallo five miles away.

BRIERFIELD RUINS SHOW NO
 SIGNS OF FORMER GLORY

By WALTER HARPER.

On Mahan creek in the eastern part of Bibb county I visited the ruins of Brierfield, which at one time was one of the most important iron manufactur- ing centers of the south.
 Between 30 and 40 years ago the town is said to have had a population of more than 5000 people. Today there may be 200 people within the bounds of the old city and they are scattered for perhaps two miles up and down the Southern railroad and behind the sur rounding hills.
 The crumbling foundations of what were at one time prosperous. and im- portant manufacturing plants are over grown with weeds and forest trees.
 lone stack crumbling with age marks the site of the old Brierfield rolling mill. The building once oc- cupied by the old Gorgas nail mill was recently removed to the J. R. Smith farm two miles north and rebuilt as a barn.
 Only mound of dirt and slag marks the site of the old Bibb furnace, where iron for the manufacture Of Confed- crate ordnance was. melted and which was one of the first furnaces to man. ufacture iron in Alabama.
 Brierfield was settled by the Mahan brothers and their father, Maj. John Mahan who came to Alabama when this section was opened to settlement by the whites in 1S16. The Mahans had followed General Jack son and were at the famous battle of New Orleans. They
