nah in the matter OF the location Of
the bank, the recommendation of the
board of trade depending on the wish

1t was the oplniol OF those present
that Atlanta should be favored in
view of the fact that although Savan-
nah is nearer to Brunswick, Atlanta
has a FAR better chance to obtain the

by the Atlanta bankers. While the
beard of trade has been in favor Of
Atlanta since the light began, the ac-

ner coal year-West Virginia, ILL
nois, Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, vir-
ginia, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Mon
tana, Texas, Utah and Pennsyl-
vania in both bituminous and
anthracite, the record becomes spec
tacular
"Ohio for instance had it's floods,
cent increase in coal output, and the
miners averaged more working
days in 1913 than in 1912 Twelve
other states showed increases vary
ing from per cent in Iowa to -
per cent in Indiana and over Is per

RADIO, Maryland, North Dakota,
Nevada, Idaho, and Missouri show
decreased output, the Colorado labor
troubles explaining the only signifi-
cant decrease.
I'm a similar way, the figures of
coke production give large increases,
and coke, it may be- noted, is step
nearer the metal industry. Petro-
leum production in 1913 exceeded
all records, an increase of 25,-
100000 barrels and 100000
over the 1912 returns.
I'm metal mining, the iron and
zinc mines had banner year, while
gold, silver, lead and copper showed
decline in many of the largest
producing states. Structural ma
terials on the other hand exhibit
marked gains almost without eXcep-
ton. Thus 1913 was the banner
year for cement, which gains more
than II per cent over 1912, and
record outputs are also shown for
lime, building sand and gravel, sand
lime brick, and glass sand. Other
mineral products for which 1913
was a record-breaking year, are
bauxite and aluminium, sulphuric
acid, feldspar, mica, pottery, and
tale and soapstone, while substan-
tiaI increases are reported for gyp-
sum, phosphate rock, abrasives,
barytes, slate, and salt.
"These production figures all ex-
press well-maintained activity in
mines, smelter, furnace, and mill
and prove that the American people
are utilizing more of the nation

Lane is particularly optimistic over
the revival of the industrial bust
ness of the country. He looks for
an early era of general prosperity,
particularly after Congess shall
have adjourned and the big business
interests of the country adjust
themselves to legislation that will
have been passed, and discontinue
their calimity howl. Concerning
development of industries under
his department, in an interview
Secretary Lane says:
''The nations output of mineral
products of various kinds is far
measure of industrial activity. For
several months now the Department
of the Interior, through the Geologi-
cal Survey, has been issuing its
final statistics of the 1913 mineral
production which confirms in detail
the preliminary estimates issued
early in January for the principal
minerals. In the large majority OF
cases these. authoritative figures tell
in one way or another the same
story of industrial prosperity.

has been general and it is this very
fact that serves as an unmistakable
