II the premises that have been assumed
be not erroneous, this rail road must
secure to itself $4,000 lons from the
felds and the forest. And in the same
ratio, It ought 10 carry about 81 $50
tons Of other trade exclusive Of mine
raj coal: But as the Board can have
no desire 10 be deceived themselves,
nor to mislead the Stockholders, aud
as the prospects for busioess on the
road are so ALTERING that liberal q
batements may be nads from the
amount of trade expected, and As It 10
prudent TO keep below the reality

Mineral C6dL The State Of Ohio
has very little waste land nearly the
whole country can be brought under
culture, which her enterprising ciii.
zens are doing with astonishing rapid
ily, by an exrerminatins war carried
on against green and growing timber.
The fruilrufnsss of The soil furnishes
strong inducements 10 continue hosIil
tiles until mineral coal shall be gene.
rally required for fuel. Coal Is now
used in towns and villages where it can
be procured. If there be=as has been
represented-one family, at least, FOR
every quarter section rE land through
out the middle counties Of Ohio, then
The isosceles triangle over which the
two rail roads must exercise an infd
ence will contain "a, 100 families. A
large portion Of these, will however
be too remote from the roads TO eGi
ploy them for procuring fueh aud fot
this reason more than three foorths Of
the number are not included when cal
culatng the coal that may be reduired.
II is supposed that go 0c0 famiiles on
and near the route of the rail roads
may use coal for fuel; and that inins
diately after their completion coal
WILL be rsed in at least s oG0 chan
bers IN the winter. About $50 bush
els Of bitumincus eoal-or s tons
will be required in Blk months FOR
chamber fire, amounting in the sggrS
gate to $4,000 tons FOR fsnilies-io
which may be added an equal quantity
for manufacturing purposes, thus ma
king demand FOR so, coo tons Of coal
as soon as the roads are finished.
Il is said that coal Of a good dnaliIy
has not been discovered west Of Yel
low Creek-althcugh an inferior kind
Of coal is found as far West as the Tus
tarawss river; but the country west
and northwest of Tuscarawas county
is represented ss entirely desii ute Of
that valuable mineral. Should there
be demand along and near the route
Of the rail roads for 10000 tons of
coal annually, the Yellow creek mines
must supply at least two thirds Of the
quantity-lf not the whole. This
will reduce the coal business en- the
rail road to SO, ,393 tonsS OF which
80, 600 tons is assumed as the amount
that will fnd 4 market west OF Eoar,

per ton per mile will amount 10 $50,
