OUR COAL BASINS-THELR ULTL
MATE IMPORTANCE.

Sir Charles Lyel the eminent Geologist, esti-
mates the great bituminous coal field of the Low
err Peninsula of Michigan, to lie in an oval form,
the base resting upon the centre Of Jackson Co.,
extending thence in width varying from ten to
thirty miles, in northerly direction, until point
within twenty miles of Saginaw Bay is reach
ed. Already at different points upon this field,
operations have been commenced, in Ingham
and Shiawassee countless with good success, the
ground being practicable, and the coal good, tho
The strata have been found mostly too thin to
work with profit. Future development will
doubtless show the mineral in deeper layers, and
consequently of richer grain, as the coal nearest
to the surface of the ground is uniformly most
slaty.
We are enabled to judge comparatively of the
vast ultimate value of this great element of min
eral wealth in Michigan, by comparative view
of the same element in Pennsylvania, of which
the same distinguished writer and traveller
says:
"From Uniontown we went to Brownsville,
on the Monongahela, where the country consists
of coal measures | was truly astonished, now
that had entered the photographed basin Of
the Ohio, at beholding the richness Of the seams
of coal, which appear everywhere on the TANKS
of the hills and at the bottom Of the Valleys
and are accessible in degree which never
witnessed elsewhere The time has not yet ar
rived-the soil being still covered with the pri-
meval forest, and manufacturing industry in its
infancy-when the full value of this inexhaus'i-
bic supply of cheap fuel can be appreciated; but
the resources which it will one day afford to
region capable, by its agricultural produce alone
of supporting large population, are truly mag
ni6cent. In order to estimate the advantages
ofsuch region, we must reflect that the great
navigable rivers (he Allegheny, Monongahea,
and Ohio) intersect it, and lay open on their
banks level seams of coal. found at Browns
vile bed, ten feet thick, of good bituminous
coal, commonly called the 'Pittsburg Seam
breaking out in the river cliffs near the waters
edge. So great are the facilities for procuring
this fuel, that already it is found profitable to
convey it in flat boats for the use of steamships
at New Orleans, 1000 miles distant, in spite of
the dense forests bordering the intermediate riv-
er plains, whose timber may be obtained for the
cost of telling it."
