consuming community. The saving effected by
the use of it will be found fully IS per cent in ev-
cry persons gas bill. 1t can be so adjusted as to
supply the gas at any desired pressure less than

pressure uniformly without requiring further care
or attention, and independent of all the fuctua-
tons Of the street pressure An additional advan-
tage obtained by this Regulator is light OF more
agreeable quality, in place Of the blush white
color Of the ordinary gas light, occasoned by the
high pressure at which the gas is consumed As
an evidence Of its practical utility, il is now in op
Grafton in some Of the principal hotels and large
stores in New York city, who all bear favorable
testimony TO its value. Il has also received the
united commentators of the press.

DOCKS FOR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE
ID stock of this Company are now open at the
Office ofADAMS & STEVENS, 9th ST., opposite
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,
! IS miles southwest of Washington city, Staunton
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,
il will be able to put coal in this city at SO per ton,
thus enabling the company to make from 80 to 81
per ton profit, and of course making it one 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 10 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 of the Cumberland mines by more than
one hundred miles consequently il 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.
