production Of gold, silver, copper and
lead stands high in the statistical tables.

TO their exploitation the foremost coal
mine operators of the country. Its
mountains OF iron lie ponderonsly await
ing development, ready to afford
enough OF that useful metal for all the
worlds use in centuries. To delve 10

would almost mean to disembowel the
earth.

breadth aud increasing amazingly in
productiveness. Great empires of farm
ing lands are being brought into the

tion in the confines of the republic.
