For some weeks past We have been en-.

nation respecting the coal mines on Bel
lingham Bay, connected with knowledge
of future operations concerning them; and
from Mr. A. VI. Poe, formerly Of this
place, who now resides in that locality we
are enabled to arrive at the following facts,
which we will give as we received them:
The veins front the bay in the immedi
ate bluffs, and average from three to six
teen feet in thickness with dip of from Il
to 81 deg, and according to the opinion Of
experienced colliers, is of very good quail

ship navigation, and is supposed to exist in
quantities almost ineXhaustible.
Two cargocs have already been taken
out and shipped to San Frmcisco-onc Oh

other on the brig Dover" and the quality
is said to meet with the favorable consid

an evidence of the value attached to the
coal region in the direction above referred
