In other mineral counties there is
coal mined to an estimated amount in
1855, Of 15,S $50, 900 bushels and val
ned at near a million of dollars, be-
sides a half millio on dollars worth Of
iron.
According to this statement of the
Committee, there are about 10000,
900 of bushels Of coal mined annually
in Ohio. This is more than We sup
posed ; but only demonstrates more
strongly the great importance, at this
moment, of the coal business: The
coal mined in Ohio may be quadrupled
by a perfect knowledge OF the local.
ties and best varieties. So the salt
business will be increased. There il
another branch Of this subject which
demands great attentions the varieties
of soil and of marls, lines and sand
stones. Agriculture may be greatly
benefited by this survey. We trus'
the Legislature will pass the bill sub
mitted to them, and we are confiden'
that the wealth of the State will b.
greatly increased. Gin. Gazette.
