which IT enjoys along with other Am

its heavy melting scrap. Its coal and
its iron on it's water and rail fao4l-
ties; on Its proximity to Indian Head;
on the geological formation of its
plant-sites: on the abundance of its
labor and on It's unusual strategic posi-
ton, Richmond relies for the favorable
action OF the department.
