both the Continental and ihr Ponce

to find two buildings built on more

arc badly needed, as those at pi.ui

Colonel John P. Alexander, of
Washington, has been in the city :or

made a special study of sewerage in
Boston, New fork and Washington.
For a Ion;; time he was in the employ

sewers of the Capital. Colonel Alex

the health bf the city demands it. lie
says that a system can be placed hare
without a very large expenditure as
the city is well drained uaturally.

Whereas, in the Northern district
practically Die total gain ol the de?
cade was achieved in the last four
years: that group making less iron in
LSS3 than in 18S0. It will be seen also
that while the Northern States in
creased 100 per cent, in the ten years,
the South increased 300 per cent. The
gain in tonnage in the Northern
group in the ten years was 1,001.541
tons, in tin- .Southern 1,100.411 tons
Dropping Missouri and Indiana from

The representative four States of
the South made 130,837 tons greater
gain than the representative four
Northern States made. The Total
iron produced South of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers in the ten years was
8,01 T.'.,v") tons: in the six central North?
ern States 15;790,(506 tons were made.
In 1800 the South m?de a trifle more
than ten per cent, of the total of the
country. In 1889 the South made IS :;
per cent, of the total, rn no other dis?
trict, even when t he real iron making
States are made to carry those whose
iron trade has become moribund; J;as
the proportional tonnage, the per
cent. gain on itself, in-nn its propor?
tion of the whole output of the coun?
try, been anywhere near equal with
the South In these respects.
The South canicoul of tin- struggle
without a single good furnace fit to
be blown. The only mills in her ter?
ritory that were worth more than
their machinery would sell for as
scrap iron were the small re rolling
rail mill at Chattanooga and the Tre
degar at Richmond* Her total avail
able furnace capacity was not above
30,000 tons a year, and this consisted
of isolated little charcoal blastp t-S,
that in the then condition of the la?
bor market could not make a ton of
iron at less cost than $33 to $25. The
first successful coke stack was put in
operation inlS68. not quite twenty
two years ago. The coke iron indus?
try was not fairly established in the
South until 187S. At that time Ohio
alone hail forty-eight coke furnaces
completed or building. The entire
South had seventeen coke stacks
completed and building. From 1868
to 1885, the South was destitute of
local capital for the prosecution of
any business requiring much money.
In a word the Southern iron industry
has been literally created in t he late
score and two years, by combining
Southern pluck* and enterprise with
those attributes from the North and
England, aided chiefly by Northern
and English capital: and from such
beginnings the South, in less than a
quarter century, has built up her
trade so that in 1889 she made but
300,000 tons less of iron than the whole
United States made in 1870.

The Oi?CMliisr of 4hc ft'ew South.
There seems4o be a good deal of
:;ut':i in Chaunecy Depew's statement
tliat ??the South is the bonanza ol the
future.'' Her present developmentin
industrial affairs is wonderful! She is
awaking to the splendid destiny b<
fore her. And among all the bright
prospects before her. we may look
with much confidence and pleasure to
the immediate openihgof wonderfully
rich regions in Virginia and West Vir?
ginia on the line of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad.
This line with 300 miles ol new road
now under construction, runs from
Norfolk, to Die sea westward through
the Blue Ridge and Stone Mountains
ro Roanoke and Bristol. It will soon
have its branches completed into the
Cumberland Mountains, and North?
ward as far as Ironton. Ohio. It will
one of the'finest districts for manu?
facturing purposes in tin- country.
The region isabundantly i ich in mines
of coal and iron: and a stream o( ini
gratioh is sure to set toward it, fol?
lowed by rapidly developing and ex?
panding trade relations. The n giou
is particularly adapted for steel man?
ufacture. And i: is certain that the
whole magnificent district, will, in a
verv short time,.develop into one of
i he most wealthy sections of the con?
tinent.
The line of road is unsurpassed as a
means of reaching desirable summer
resorts. Old Point Comfort, Virginia
Beach, Ocean View. Roanoke and
Blue Ridge Springs, are only a few of
the beautiful spots of the vicinity
which have-been supplied with lux?
uriously lifted hotels, at once roomy,
sumptuous and comfortable. The ap?
pointments of these places and the
attractions of the country are sure to
attract visitors more anil mure each
year as their excellence becomes
