TRANSITION COAL,

TENIIIS RARE AND VALUABLE COAL ia va.

coal commands the his hest price 1t is mined
upon the large estate (43,OOO acres) Of the Dau
phin and Susquehanna Coal Company, situated in
Pennsylvania, and it ID nearer to the cities of Bal
tmore and Washington than the coal of any other
region. For easy ignition. durability of fire, COM
plete combustion, easy adaptation to the temper
allure Of the weather, and its great power in gene
rating heat, il is The BEST coal IN the ,oOrld 1t has
the ntlammabiliy Of the btuminous coal, with
the cleanliness of the anthracite, and a greater
durability than either. 1t burns without making
any SCOT visible smoke, and the combustion is
complete that it retains the fire until all the coal
is consumed. Not SO with the anthracites, espe-
cially the hard and heavy kinds They do not
burn up. and hence the common troublesome prac-
tce of sitting their ashes to obtain more fuel. In
burning the Transition Coal there is irdste, for
the small GOALS made by handling burn as we'll as
ordinary coal. al should be burnt together. If
screened at all, the dust only should be taken out.
very erroneous impression exists with many
persons that the heaviest Goals the most econo
micai for ordinary purposes. This mis- ht be the
Gaze if Goals were sold by measurement, but never
when they sold by WEIGHT. In yor's valu-
able work. statistics Of Coai,) the details are given
to show that 81 pounds OF a free burning red ash
yielded more heat to room in fifteen hours than
81 pounds of heavy white ash coal, making the
red ash at SIS 80 to be more economical than the
white ash at 81 81 per ton. Amy person accus-
toned to use theee heavy Goals will be astonsh-
ed at the saving which can be made in burning the
lighter kinds when tested by the tpeght and burnt
in a suitable manner.
An apprehension exists with some that the free
burning Goals have tendency to cIinker. Now,
as a general rule, no coal will clinkcr unless
greater draught be applied to than the coal natu-
rally requires. No one would think Of applying a
bellows constantly to a fire made of seasoned
hickory or oak wood, and it would be equally as
absurd to apply blast constantly to 4 free burn
ing coal. But the heavy white ash anthracites
cannot be burnt without powerful draught, and
without using larger quantity OF coal than the
temperature of the weather sometimes requires.
Various patterns Of stoves, furnaces, cooking
ranges, &C., are invented annually to conquer this
difficulty, tut it has never been done with complete
success. In every continuance, however, which
has been invented to burn coal, the transition
riety will make beautiful fire, and no complaint
will ever be made to manufacturer seller of
CRATES stoves when this coal is used The
draught alone is to be regulated by damper. L..
Introducing this new coal for the first time, pre-
pared as it now is by steam power machinery for
domestic use, it may give greater confidence to The
buyer to say that the celebrated free burning red
ash veins in the Peach Orchard district, Potts
vile, are a continuation of the Dauphin reins, and
they approach the nearest in value to the Transition
Coal
Shipments of the Transition coal have already
been made to the District of Columbia, and it
can be obtained at retail from the following
persons:
VIM. It. Dove, Washington.
F. Magruder, do
VIM. Warder, do
Woodford Stone, do
Hunsberger & Co., do
Myers Shaker, Georgetown.
Orders for this coal by the cargo, as we'll as for
the Semi Bituminous and Anthracite Goals, mined
by the Dauphin and Susquehanna Coal Company,
will be promptly executed by.
