Coal BASIN ON THR BROAD MousrAis.--We
learn that Messrs. RoGERs, SIssIcKsos, & Co,
have leased the isolated Coal Easin on the top OF
of the Broad Mountain, about three miles above
the head of the Mill Creek Rail Road, on property
belonging to Messrs Bennett and Chambers This
Basin is about three hundred yards wide, and Sc.
veral miles in extent, entirely disconnected with
any other portion Of the Coal Region, II is the
opinion Of many that the Broad Mountain was
originally covered with Coal, but owing to its
Cat surface the Coal was all washed of with the
exception Of what is contained in this Basin,
which was protected by spurs in the mountain
running parallel with the deposit shaft has
been sank to the depth of about 20 feet in the
