We have received COPY Of the Anoual Report Of
tAe Breckenridge Coal Company. The Managers
state that after discovering the great value Of the coal
for manufacturing oil, they adopted the policy Of re-
strctng the mining, and accordingly discharged nearly
an their miners They have eighteen sdts open, and
Unnecessary could easily mne 800 tuns per day, at
eost Of about 81 y tuD. The Railroad Of the Company
Is in good order, aud the rolling stock is sufficient for
many years The oil works have been increased TO
thirty retorts, with twelve stills and tank accomno
ds.ion for 100 900 gal ons Of oil Many experiments
have been tried during the year with other camel
eosls but nothing has been tested which could COM
pete with the Bre ,kenridge. Like the Boghead In
Scotland, il stands uDapproachabe for quantity aud
quality of products. The Board of Directors submit

lnarks:
"Your Dbftors have to congratulate you upon the

makes OF lroads In the valley Of the Mississippi all
have to be furnished with oil, and as soon as these
have tested the superiority of our oil over What they
have hitherto used 1t is not too msch to assume that
from the present extent of the works, there will be lit
lie oil left to sepd on to the East after supplying the
Western demand.
Your Directors have no doubt but that by the close
of the present year, handsome dividend viii be paid
from the earnings Of the Company upon the fall
amount of your stock; and that in subsequent years,
large semi-annual dividends may be regularly ex-
d eted leaving in the hands Of the Directors an
