AIabama's Iron Ores.

The boom which followed the dis
covery of the extensive deposits of
iron ore in the vicinity Of Birmingham.
Ala. in 1882. was without precedent
in the Industrial history of the United
States. and the rush to Birmingham
was paralleled only by the stampedea
which followed such discoveries as
the Comstock lode in Nevada and the
Alaska gold fields. The iron ores OF
Alabama. while inferior in quality TO
those of Lake Superior. have the adj
vantage of being near deposits of good
colxing coal and of the limestone requi-
site for fuxing. so that Birmingham.
the Pittsburgh Of the south. can manu-
facture pig iron cheaper than any 9th
err district of the world. -Argonaut.

A Wrong Impression.

Some Of the advocates OF
License" are endeavoring to
convey the impression at this
time that the city is unable to
borrow money because the
saloons were voted out at the ell
ection this spring when this not
the case. These howlers ought
to know that the financial condi-
ton of the city at the present
time would have been just the
same had the people voted to
grant license to saloons. They
ought to know that the city can
not borrow one cent of money
against the license money for it
is not known until July 1st when
licenses are granted that there
will be any saloons.
