coal and coke. Prices have zone SO
high that the situation looks discourage
Ing. The operators declare that thew

only hope for the iron manufacturers
would be to lease coal lands and
operate the same. Ono difYiculty In the
way Of this. however. is found in the
high price of materials. particularly In
the extreme price on Are brick. the
price being almost prohibitive. 1t Is
stated by coal men that tho price Of
