bigbee to float all the heavy products of this district to tidewater, and to bring back also heavy goods.
 The time may come when Cuban ores will be barged to the full of this district as return cargoes, and then the round of navigation will be complete. Coal, coke, iron, steel and finished products will be carried to tidewater and Cuban ores brought back, all at water rates. No effort should be spared to bring this about, and Mobiles best opportunity con- sists in putting on a line of ore car riers between it's port and the mines near Santiago.
 When the high grade Cuban ores are brought here to be smelted the grip of this district upon the iron and steel industry will stand complete, for our fuel lies nearest to the sea and to the Panama canal, and barge lines and slackwater navigation render all this possible and perhaps highly desirable.
