uses a fine pointed pen, makes very
small characters, and when engaged in

Slaking Steel Kails.
William P. Hunt, the proprietor of the
South Boston Iron works, where heavy
iron cannon are cast, was in the city
recently. He has been paying a v.sit of
inspection to the great iron and steel
works in Pennsylvania with a view of
enlarging his experience. He remarked
that lie regarded the Edgar Thompson
Steel works, near Pittsburg, as marvel
ous in their extent and excellences
Among other thidgs he said;
“These works turn out enormous quan
tities of steel rails. They have five or
six blast furnaces where they make the
pig irog and eight or ten cupola fur
naces for mixing the iron, besides their
converters and other processes for treat
ing the metal before it reaches the com
pleted state. X watched them turning
rails with my watch in hand. In some
instances they brought out a rail in
twenty seconds. The steady average, I
think, would be about two rails a min
ute. It was a marvel to me how they
could handle all the vast quantity of
material that -was required for this work.
They use 2,000 tons of iron ore a day,
1,000 tons of coal and large quantities of
limestone to turn out 1,000 tons of pig
iron. In all they handle nearly 5,000
tons of material a day. It is successfully
done through organized and system
atized division of labor, but it is won
ful nevertheless.”—New York Tribune.

The value of the Indian lands is
becoming annually great t, and a-
250,000 Indians nor.' own 134,000,000
acres, the more rapidly <hry
away the richer the survivors will
be. The finest single tract of
land in Ariaona is the San Carlo*
Indian Reservation, containing 2.
528,000 acres, well watered and
finely limbered. There are upon
this reservation 3,500 Indians.
Each Indian has at least 700 acres.
As it is held in a body, it is in a
measure valueless for agricultural
purposes, and the people of Arizona

w or a year or two Birmingham
was a city of magnificent distances.
Colonel Adair, the veteran auction
eer, who managed the first land
sale, found himself lost in the woods
on the evening of -the second day.
He discovered one of his surveyor’-
pegs with a tag flying from it near
by. Upon examining it he found
that he was at the corner of Fifty-
third street and Fourth avenue. A
visitor to Birmingham now will see.

as can be seen on Broadway in New
York, in proportion to its length,
and eight nut of ten that he meets;

just invested $4,000,000 in coal ami.

If the salt formations of Nevada
were in railroad communication,
says the San Francisco Bulletin,'
there would be no market in this
country for the foreign article. In
Lincoln County, on the Rio Virgin,
there is a deposit of pare rock salt
which is exposed Ipr two miles, a
width of half a mile, and is of un
known depth. In places canons
are cut through it to adep'h of sixty
feet. It is of ancient formation, be
ing covered in some places by basal
tic rock and volcanic tufa. Tbe
deposit has been traced oo tbe sur
face nine miles. It is so solid that it
must be blasted like rock, and so
pure and transparent that prant can
he read through blocks a foot thick.
At Sand Springs, Churchill 'County,
there is a deposit of rock salt four
teen feet in depth, tree from any
particle of foreign substance, which
can be quarried at the rate of five
tonsadayto the man. The great

the railroad project, the owners of
.Sheffield Stock raised money for an
iron mrnace, and the town began
to boom 'again. As the stock ap
preciated in value another iron fur

thoroughly, bought largely of the
stock, and is now under contract to
spend $800,000, which will build six
iron furnaces in the next two years.
