DOCKS FOR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE
ID stock Of this Company open at the
office of ADAMS Il STEVENS, 9th St, opposite
the Patent Office, where specimens the 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, 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,
it will be able to put coal in this city at 50 per ton,
thus enabling the company to make from 81 TO S4
per ton profit and of course making it one of the
most profitable investments ever offered 10 the
public. The lands abound in rich stratas of coal,
from four to fourteen feet thick, and water free
There is also an inexhaustibe 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 OF the Cumberland mines by more than
one hundred miles consequently il enjoys, in re-
spect to distance, advantage over any coal that
comes 10 this city. The coal is about ninety per
cent. carbon, and entirely free from sulphur; its
ash is white.
