In addition to the iron which occurs
as both magnetic and hematite, and
both bessemer and non-bessemer in
quality, are deposits of very high
grade of manganese, used also in a
steel industry. Many carloads of this
were hauled out and shipped during
the last war, it being in great demand
to make the higher grades of steel.
There are also deposits of molybdenum
ores, used for the high grade alloy
steels. In building stones the re-

FATHER SACRIFICES
INTERESTS TO SOLVE
PATHETIC PROBLEM
Wife Will Return to Rus.
sia so Daughter Can
Remain in U. S.

New York, March fO.-Faced with
a problem that probably would have
taxed the wisdom of a Solomon, a
bearded old Russian jew sat on a
bench at the Ellis Island immigra-
ton station yesterday, praying for a
discerning heart.
His frayed derby sat on the back
Of his head: perspiration dripped from
his wrinkled forehead; tears welled in
his eyes; he stroked his beard. In
ono hand was telegram which had
been sent to him by immigration Off
Girls.
Request to know what is your
decision regarding your family" it
read.
In another part Of the station was
his wife and two daughters. He had
not seen them for years. He had
worked and shaved in this country
and finally had seen his way to bring
them to him.
In response TO the telegram he had
come TO the station to learn that his
youngest daughter was feeble-miMied
and would be returned to Russia.
Either his wife or the other daughter
must return with her. He was TO de-
eide which one was to stay.
The Predetermined daughter is suf-
fering from pneumonia in the i'm
migration hospital. Upon her recov-
cry the deportation is TO take plade.
The old man pondered his problem
for perhaps an hour. His life and
his wife's, perhaps, were nearing
their end The LITTLE remnant IF ba n
piness left with her probably dangled
before his eyes tempting morsel.
But he would sacrifice it: sacrifice
it for the sake of the daughter, still
young, with life and happiness in a
new land before her.
He announced his decision. The
wife will visit him until the feeble
minded daughter is recovered from
pneumonia; then she viii return. The
other daughter will stay.

citation of San Antonio have taken a

of bringing to the fore the undeveloped
resources in the vast territory natur-

1t has long been the dream of San

what is classified by the United States

eral Region of Texas-an area COM
prising Llano and portions of the con-
tiguous cOunties-in the hope that the
varied minerals that abound in that
section would be brought to San An

great manufacturing enterprises.
In order to furnish an object lesson
of what these resources consisted of.

has prepared n varied and attractive
