DOCKS FOR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE
I'D stock Of this Company are now open al the
office of ADAMS & 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,
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 Cen
tral 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 ~
per ton profit, and of course making il one OF the
most profitable investments offered TO the
public. The lands abound in rich stratas of coal,
from four TO fourteen feet thick, and water free.
There is also inexhaustible 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 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.
