THE H1BTOBY OF A TEAK'S PROBEH A Belewr ? or the Sou t b's 1 nl ast rial Year Southern Enter. ity and Wealth. O ow tli In m prise, irpe Baltimore, Dec. 28. The United Pretw is in receipt of the advance sheet from the Manufacturers Record for January 1st, 1887. That number or the Record will contain a review of the industrial advancement of the South during 1886, in the compilation of which over 10,000 letters and pos tal cards were used. It says with 1886 ends Tbe Moat Remarkable Tar In many respects in the history of the Southern States. During that year more was accomplished for the prosperity and progress of the whole South than ever before in the same length of time. . It is not alone in the enormous industrial development and in the addition of millions of dollars to the manufacturing capital and hundreds of new enterprises that 1886 will ever be memorable in the history of Southern industries, greater probably than those so far as concerns the 'future progress of the South is the interest that has been awakened among Northern and European capitalists in the vast min eral and timber wealth of the South ern States, and their thorough con version to the truth that the South is destined to be the Bleheat ConsHrr la ibw World. The greatest interest has centred in the iron and steel industries, Tne organization of furnace companies lias gone on with a rapidity that is startling. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company now have five furnaces in- operation and is producing more iron than the Thomas Iron Company of Philadelphia with its 12. They w 11 build 5 more furnaces, 1,400 coke ovens, and a steel plant. : lw Large lavwtmciita. The Slos8 Ir n & Steel Co., has two furnaces and has contracted for the building of two more besides a steel plant of 250 coke ovens. Samuel lhames, ot Pennsylvania, and his associates areputtin? $1,000,- 000 into a turnace at iSirimniruam Another Pennsylvania iron inaktr has headed a company with a capi tal of $1, 500, 000 to build two iurim- ces, coke ovens, etc. tie says it cst $15 a ton to make iron in IV linsv 1 vania, while at Birmingham he can make it for $7. 50. The tie BoraeU hm Coal and Iron Co., is buildtng two furnaces. The Coalburg Coal and Coke Co., is building a furnace. A $3,000,000 con pany will bu Id three, f jrnaces at Florence, Alabama, and develop other industries there. While at Sheffield, five furnaces of 125 tons capacity each are under contract. At South Pittsburg, Tenn., two; 120 ton fur naces besides one by the Tennessee Coal, Iron & R. R. Co., will be erect ed. Calera and Decatur, All., are each to have a furnace. The Wil liamson Iron Co.. has built one fur nace at Birmingham and another has been completed at Atna, leun. A 100 ton will be built ar Chattanooga. One is under construction at AsblaudV Ky., and one m V lrginia, while other companies, with heavy capital, have organized in Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama to develoDe coal and iron property. In the development of the steel interests an excellent com mencement has been made. One small Bessemer plant has been com pleted at Chattanooga and one large Bessemer railmill is now under con struction at the same place, and one Bessemer plant is building in Richmond, Va. DTe-rtb Carolina -ftteel. The Bessemer ores at Cranberry, N. C.will be developed. The pres ent mines there will enlarge their workings to meet the ncreas ng de-' mand. Immense stove works are to be erected at South Pittsburg, Tenn., by an Albany, N. Y., firm, and in Bir mingham a $200,000 StoveoCompany has gotten under way. In 7 Sheffield a large nail and pipe mill will be buiit. A, large iron p pe foundry has been completed at Chatanooga. and one will oe built at wheeling. Other in dustries have kept pace with iron and dustnes have kept pace with iron and steel Mining has been very active in Maryland, Virginia, West Vir ginia, Alabama and Tennessee. Texas will soon open coal mines, Virginia is developing iron ore and manganese, preparations are being made to quar ry Georgia marble, and Arkansas has been lively and opened many mines and built extensive smelters.
