TRANSITION COAL.
TTNHIS RARE AND VALUABLE COAL is a va
l. riety not quite changed into an anthracite,
and it has only been discovered Tin large quanti-
tes) at three places upon globe viz, at South
Wales, Great Britain; at Donetz, in Russia near
the Black Sea; and at DauPhin and Lebanon coun-
coal commands the highest price. 1t is now mined
upon the large estate $4,000 acres) Of the Dau.
phin and Susquehanna Coal Company, situated in
Pennsylvania, and it is to the cities of Bal
timore 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 it's great power in gene
the inflammability of the bituminous coal, with
the cleanliness of the anthracite, and a greater
durability than either. 1t burns without making
any SCOT or visible smoke, and the combustion is
complete that it retains the fire until alt the coal
is consumed. Not 80 with the anthractes, espe-
cially the hard and heavy kinds. They do not
burn up. and hence the common troublesome prac.
tice of sitting their ashes to obtain more fuel In
burning the Transition Coal there is no ,oaste, for
the small Goals made by handling burn as we'll "a
ordinary coal. all 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-
mical for ordinary purposes. This might be the
case if Goals were sold by measurement, but never
u
able work. Statistics Of Coal the details are given
to show that 81 pounds of free burning red ash
yielded more heat to a room in fifteen hours than
81 pounds of heavy white ash coal, making the
white ash at 81 81 per ton. Any person accus-
toned to use these heavy Goals will be astonish-
ed at the saving which can be made in burning the
lighter kinds when tested by the ,oeight and burnt
in a suitable manner.
An apprehension exists with some that the FREQ
burning Goals have a tendency to clinker. Now,
as a general rule. no coal will clinker unless q
greater draught be applied to il 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 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, but it has never been done with complete
success. In every continuance, however, which
has been invented to burn coal, the transition va
riety will make q beautiful FIRE, and no complaint
will ever be made to a manufacturer seller Of
gratcs or stoves when this coal is used. The
draught alone is to be regulated by damper. Ia
introducing this new coal for the first time, pre-
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, near Potts
vile. are continuation Of the Dauphin ueins, 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. r. Dove, Washington
F. Magruder, do
VIM. Warder, do
Woodford Stone, do
Hunsberger & Co., do
Myers & Baker, Georgetown.
Orders for this coal by the cargo, as we'll as for
the Semi Btuminous and Anthracite Goals, mined
by the Dauphn and Susquehanna Coal Company, ,
will be promptly executed by
