Rich Iron Ore.

! with respect to the natural re-
sources" continued Mr.. Rohrer, there
are rich outcroppings of iron ore in this
section, with the nearest iron ore mine
only five miles from Middlesboro, while
within a radius of ten miles of the city
there are twenty companies engaged in
mining and shipping bituminous coal;
Their total rated daily caacity is ll,ooo
short tons.
within a radius of fifty miles there
are seventy coal operations. with
total rated daily capacity of $4,000
short tons. Middles5oro also has a good
water supply. while its railroad facil-
ties are all that could be desired

Some Advantages.

Not only does Middlesboro possess
all the natural resources that would
make the establishment of the govern
ment armor plant there desirable from
an economic standpoint said Mr.
Rhorer, but the danger of attack by
hostile nation would be less than in the
case of probably any other city.
The mountains completely surround
the Middlesboro basin, and there are no
points of outlet or entrance to it ex-
cept at two places. Both of these places
are susceptible of fertilization to such
an extent that very small detachment
of men could hold them against vastly
superior numbers.

Dudley Field Malone, customs
collector at New York, rendered
his resignation to President VIII:
son to-day in protest against the
failure of the President to advo-

Tended the first Of the militants

told the President in his letter or
