The recent ris* in th* pr ; ce of iron is sensing capital to |*rif field* where it can successfully compete with furnacts already in t operation. Jo glancing ay*r th* various point* laying claim to superiority in thil respect, it ha* been con* ceded that Lavkant Vallay lands, because jt ha* th* coat and iron near each other, but at no point more conveniently situated than at Tf*»’on, O*- This place is on th* AUharpg Great Sauthern rail, road, eighteen wile* southwest of Chattanooga, ig on* of th* most beautiful valleys jn th* South. It is peculiarly situated for manufac turing iron, haring a vein fir* f#*| in thickness within a mil* of th* railroad on both side*. It lie* horizontally and passes through the bills and th* mountain* and i* easily worked. Jt has beep cal culated that over thirty million tons of this ors can be mip*d and loaded on cars at a cost pot to sit eeed 76 cents per ton There ia a.eo a ooel field in Band Mountain within two railee of the railroad at Trenton, ia whioh are fonnd tha same vain* of oo*l that java beep ■o successfully worked by tha Dada Coal Conspany at Coal City forth* past twenty years. This would settls th* matter as to th* supply* quality and cheapness of coke, Unlimited quantities of tha very best limestone abounds on tb* ground. And last hut not least af nil, n haul of bat fourtean mils* by rail will taka th* iron to th* Tennessee river where it can ba loaded on barges for all points on the Tennessee, Ohio and Jfiseit eippi rivers. Birmingham haul* eok* from five to thirty milas, or* from fiva to eighteen miles, tad limestone about thirty miles, while the nearest point to river navigation is over one hundred miles. Hence it will be seen that Trenton possesses greater facilities for making cheap iron than Bir mingham. Birmingham furnaces are supplied with water by the water company, and this it not a ■mall item. Water is her* in abundance. Inangh to supply fifty furnaces and cam* number of other industries, Not only will tbs sbeve facts apply to RirmlPghem but in nsarly evsry cass to tbs otbsr iron far* usees in operation and in eourss of construe tie*.

These ▼sine crop out on the Sect side of the mountain within two miles of Trenton, end they are the same frem which the Dade Coal Com pany ii now mining the coal to furnish th* furneees at Chatta nooga and Rising Fawn, whieh makes e very superior artiele of iron. The coal field extends weak to th* river et Steyeson, Alabama, a distance of twenty miles. Thio coal field is praeticelly in*xbaus‘— bio, end only until recently has it become known to capital iota ea their attention has been attracted tp Birmingham end other point*. The feet is new known, V *wcv#r t and this knowledge hae censed ths, recent influx of eepital to this im> mediate section, and, au a come quenee, the recent rise in reel es tate values at this plaee. But the end ie not yet, and the little tow* of Treaton will became, ip tbe near future, an impertant factor in the manufacture of iron. We make this prediction—that in Use than five years the smoke from five furnaces will arise within twn miles ef Trenton, and n desen other factories will contribute to wards starting anothsr Leneigb Valley.
