BILE In instalments.
DOCKS FOR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE
I'D stock Of this Company are now open at 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 connectwith the Virginia Gen.
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 81
per ton profit, and Of course making il 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 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.
