The change which has now taken
place with seeming suddenness was in
reality carefully worked up to through
a period of dozen years. The vigor
OF the government in suppressing any
thing that might develope into re-
bellion caused the propaganda to be
carried on in secret. But the younger
gentry of the land and particularly
the young men in the schools were SO
eager to do something to make their
country fit to command the respect of
other nations that they lent a willing
car to the plans for reform which
were whispered about till they became

IRON DEPOSIT FOUND.

Erterprise.-The citizens in this sec
ton are slstsd over the report Of Dr.
7. y. Louis, state minsralogist, in re-
gard to ths irnD ore deposits and tas
prospects, TO develop them in this So
ton. IL has been known for several
years that the land in and adjacent to
Enterprise was underlaid with an iron
ore ysin-being an ore Of superior quail
ty. AT one time an Engiishman pur.
chased several thousand acres Of land
here, with the intention of developing
the iron, but owing to his demise the
land fen to other heirs and the PROPOSE
tion was not carried out. At that time
several official analyses were made of
the ore by mineralogists, and they re
ported that the ore would make a gen
eral average of 40 per cent iron. Last
summer DR.. loves attention was called
to same. and he paid this section two
visits of several days duration, made q
thorough investigation Of the field, Sc
lesting specimens sufficient TO make an
analysis, and after making same, at his
annual report to the state, he save out
the information that the test showed .
general average Of - per cent iron, that
the quality was excellent and, consider.
ing the unlimited supply and many nat.
urzl advantages, that the ore had .
commercial value and could be handled
at highly remunerative profit.
