Had 1t not been for the breach in the Delaware Canal
in the early part Of the season. and the strike among
the boatmen, the shipments would probably have
amounted to nearly million of tons. 1t Is estimated
by those interested in the trade, that the
consumption next year will be at least one.third If
this be and the Lehgh region furnishes their pro-
portion of the increase they WILL during the coming
season. send to market million and quarter OF
tons
The Dauphin and Susq ueh snnsh Railroad will be
completed in few days, and soou after coal from that
region will be in the market II probably will not
rive in any quality until spring The railroad Is six
teen miles in length, aud through well timbsred
valley furnishing the best materials for stills and
ties which have been literally putinto the superstruc
ture, and the whole surmounted by massive rail.
The grade Il continuous descent from the coal mines
to the canal. The capital stock of this company Is
$500 Gee, and Is owned principally in New York and
Philadelphia The property consists Of the railroad,
machinery, &c., and Of coal laal, embracing both
mountains which form the BASIN from their rise near
Dauphn, to distance of twenty miles eastward Of
that place The ccal which includes oil the
found in the Schuylki district of which this region
is the western extremity, Is bituminous about half
Of the above distance and then changes into free
burning anthracite, quite similar to that from Bear
Gap and Pinegrove. Streams passing from the inner
valley have made several depressions in the south
mountain, at the base of which the railroad passes,
aifording superior facilities for mining. Numerous
have been opened by drifts the past season. and
in this process thousand ton, Of coal have
already been taken out Thus everything will be in
readiness TO commence business large scale, in
the spring.
1t is stated, that for any purpose except the
facture Of iron from ore this company monopoize
the coal trade OF the entire susquehsnnah valley be-

Washington and the other cities aud towns
upon the tide waters Of the Chesapeake which toge-
Their form trade that already reaches about 100000
tons per annum. This coal Is admirably adapted to
steam navigation, aud must enter largely into
fuml tion on board steamers; 1t Is equally
well adapted to the Of locomotives and in all
where the machinery is movable as IN steam ships
and locomotives IL will probably be time before
shall get In this market very large supply OF this
dc,lrablc coal, the sOnpany has extensive de.
