K. and operators from north 1,000. This town in IsfiO was a little mining village of G14, and now the coal output is 125,000 cars per annum, giving employment to about 3,000 men.

We find here a silver smelter plant that smelts and refines gold silver ores in one process. These ores come from New Mexico and Colorado. The plant it is claimed pays a dividend of 5 per cent per month. The six zinc smelting plants produce more zinc than at any other point in this country. To the question, what is the cause of your rapid growth, why did you not build this town twenty miles south on the zinc ore bed, or farther east, the answer was, "Because we have right here the coal which produces coke, which ia not found elsewhere in Kansas, and coke is necessary in reducing zinc ore.

It requires three tons of coal to reduce one ton of zinc ore, and it is therefore more profitable to haul the ore to the coal than tbe coal to the ore." This then was the explanation of Pittsburg the coke producing quality of her coal. Here underlying a territory about 7 by 15 miles are two great veins of coal, each about 40 inches thick and easily mined, which give the foundation upon which to build great manufacturing enterprises and a large and prosperous city. Nearly all the growth of Pittsburg from a village has occurred within the last six years, and to-day her smelters and manufacturing interests are paying large-dividends. Nowhere in Kansas or out of it is there a belter field for the investment of capital than in the city of Pittsburg. A visit to these coal and lead and zinc fields will convince any thinking person of the richness of the deposits and the certain large? profit in their development.

The citizens of Pittsburg are progressive, and meet strangers most hospitably, offering liberal inducements to investors. They have faith in the future of the city, and the editor of the Capital, unsolicited and without pecuniary interest in the state and south Carolina are purchasing these lands for their future operations.

We desire in a few brief words to point out the superiority in every way of ice made by the Pittsburg Artificial Ice Co. over the natural or lake ice so called.
