tities, having had a little ex-
perience in Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Several shafts were sunk,
one of them to the depth of 105
feet, and three or four more than
seventy, aud coal in very consid-
erable quantities was found. But
the first taken out showed the
crumbling characteristics of the
of the ordinary plains coal and
work was abandoned. The mines
lay idle for several years, when
an agent of the former owners
chanced to look at them and found
that some of the lumps of coal
were as hard as the best Indiana
block. He spent some time in
investigating matters, quietly set
several men to work boring and
found that the friability was con-
fined to the surface layer, and
that beneath this the coal closely
resembled the English cannel.
Negotiations were entered int> and
several thousand acres of land
purchased. This was about a
year ago, and ever since then the
work has been steadily going on.
A Scotch company holds much of
the stock, but the largest portion
is held in St. Louis. The result
of the explorations has been to
partially develop a ooal field cov-
eriDg thousands ot acre^, aud the
coal is of a most excellent quality
closely resembling the famous
production ot Canon City, Colo.
CHARACTER OF THE OUTPUT
"It burns without ashes and al-
most without smoke,being as clean
as anthracite, and almost as easily
ignitable as wood, -The seam is
from fiv*io nine feet thick, that
is the largest seam, as there are
no leas than five already discov-
ered and others probably underlie
the lowest yet found. The report
is that another has been struck at
a depth of 135 feet, but that this
fact is being carefully concealed.
I n fact a great deal of secrecy is
being preserved and much capital
haa been subscribed with in the
past two months to extend opera-
tions, and it is rumored that large
woolep mills will be set up. The
cost of hauling Texas wool to Ihe
north is very heavy,and it is be-
lieved that a firm of Lowell,Mass.
will locate works near the mines,
where fuel of the best quality can
be obtained at a very low cost and
the wool can be bought at a low
figure. A cotton mill is also
talked of. In developing this
section of Texas the interest of
St. Louis will be advanced, and
