Id stock Of this Company are now open at the
the Patent Office, where specimens ofthe coal may
be seen. The company has $4,000 acres of anthra-
cite coal lands, lying mostly in Augusta county,
135 miles southwest Of Washington city, Stanton
station on the Virginia Central railroad is within
eighteen miles. The Manassas Gap railroad will
reach within twelve. The Company proposes to
build railroad to connect with the Virginia Gen.
trail and Manassas. When this is accomplished,
will be able to put coal in this city at SO per ton,
thus enabling the company To make from SO to 81
per ton profit, and of course making it of the
most profitable investments ever offered to the
public. The lands abound in rich stratas of coal,
from four TO fourteen feet thick, and water free.
There is also an inexhaustble supply of iron ore,
similar to the Scotch and Welsh ores in quality
and richness. The Dora is the only anthracite
field known in the State of Virginia, and is nearer
than any the Cumberland mines by more than
one hundred miles, consequently it enjoys, in re-
spect to distance, advantage over any coal that
comes to this city. The coal is about ninety per
cent. carbon, and entirely free from sulphur its
ash is white Ia.
