D., Feb. 24.The pros pects that this section of the country I will soon become an actual producer of tin are growing brighter every day. There has never been any doubt of the I abundance of ore in this district, and had it not been for the unfortunate ex perience of one mining company sev eral years ago which put a damper on prospective investors, the tinmines would, long since have been producers. The test run at the Gertie is proving very satisfactory. Altho the mill has been running only ten shifts, yet the superintendent is more than satisfied with the showing made. The rock is proving to carry a larger mount of tin than was expected, and as soon as the best method of treatment is fully determined upon, the mill's capacity will be increased ten times its present amount. The price of tin has risen in the past year from 28 cents to 86 cents a pound. The ores of the Ger tie and neighboring properties are Among the richest in the world.

O. A. JENSEN, ST. OLAT,^* Mayor's Office, Cedar Falls, Iowa, Feb. 22. This city, with its beautiful homes, well kept lawns, its forest of trees, its unexcelled public schools, thriving business enterprises, its public utilities, and last but not least, its intelligent citizenship, is justly termed the Lawn City of Iowa. Thanks to its excellent location, its natural drainage, splendid sewerage system and an abundance of the finest spring water, malignant disease epidemics are unknown, and its healthfulness as a place of residence is generally tion's made by the state, severa' large,, ings have been erected within the past five years/' an~ the equipment has been greatly increased. In the present year, a new physical science building will be erected at a cost of $60,000. The International Harvester company, which main tains a general agency here, f6und it necessary to add to its plant, and will soon occupy a building now in process of construction, the largest.of its kind the state. The flour mills here are extensive, Cedar Falls having the best waterpower in the state. With its excellent railroad facilities, this city is a great center for farm implements. M. D. Philleo has a transfer house thru which thirteen manufacturers do a large business each year. Among our recent enterprises may be mentioned the Wagner Manufacturing company, manufacturers of hardware specialties, which invested over $7,000 the past year in buildings and did a business of $65,000. The Iowa Gate company has had an increase1 in three years of sales from 3,100 to more than 8,000 gates. A beet sugar factory is planned, to cost approxi mately $1,000,000, and which will give employment to about four hundred men. Cedar Falls is in the very cen ter of the sugar beet belt in Iowa, and the erection of a factory here in the near future will give a great impetus to the industry and will double the value of farm lands in this vicinity. Cedar Falls has had no boom in recent years, nor has its growth been what is called "phenomenal.". It hap had what is perhaps better, a steady, healthy, substantial growth and development. With its streetcar service, local and intenrVban, paved streets, sewerage and water systems, gas and electricity for lighting, power and domestic pur poses, Cedar Falls has all the public utilities and keeps pace with the progressive cities of the great northwest.

Fort Dodge never had asvbright a future as at present. Additions and improvements are projected all along the line. While it is too early to predict to a certainty all that will happen in a business way this season, there are some things that can be named that have matured suffi ciently to become a fact. Among these is a $2,000,000 expenditure by the Newton & Northwestern railroad in building a connection with this city, and in converting the street railway into an interurban line, with terminals at Des Moines. The Illinois Central will build a new station and make other improvements that will greatly add to their facili ties for business at this point. The city intends to viaduct Farley street from the foot of Third street to the Des Moines river bridge, and thereby eliminate the hill and railroad crossings. The construction of large blocks of up-to-date construction is contemplated by the First National bank, Thomas Shell, the Schlitz Brewing com pany, the International Harvester company and the Craw ford hotel. On the whole, we have never before had as good reason to feel elated over our prospects as at this time. Those of us who have steadfastly stood by Fort Dodge in the past and have never lost faith in a brilliant future for the city believe the time is at hand when the city will assume its rightful place among the progressive cities of Iowa, having a population- of 30,000 or more.- $ 8uUjftot,"Wationa *^C LID FOR SPRING VALLEY Special to The Journal.
