The character of the I.ehigh coal is well known,
that it is not deemed necessary to suboin any recon.
mendation of its quality 1t is sufficient to state that
for paror CRATES, stoves, and culinary uses cosl
more generally approved i'm this place, while as fuel
for engines, for mating, heating brewers and
Overs coppers nail works, founlries and rolling and
sitting mills, the Leh!gh has decidedly the preference
on account Of its greater durability and Cleanliness to
the extent Of more than twotlrds OF The aggregate
consumption of anthracite coal for those purposes in
Philadelphia and its vicinity.

lowed up there, in from two to three hours, by the
