GEOLOGICAL MAPS OF VIRGINIA.

Mr.. DeBow has now in course of publication
an elaborate and carefully prepared map of the
Richmond or Tide water coal field; the de-
scription of which has been commenced in our
columns. This map is highly finished and
executed in the best style of the Lythographic
art. 1t shows at glance the extent, position
and formation Of this interesting coal deposit,
and its connections with the cities of Rich
nond, Petersburg and with tide water. 1t is
intended us the first of a series, of geological
maps representing the entire mineral formation
of Virginia, for which Mr.. DeBow has collect
cd a vast amount of original information, and
we hope to SEE other maps of like character,
follow the present one in quick succcssion.-
The enterprise is a worthy one, and truly de-
serving of encouragement, though long neglect

Of general interest to all sections of the State,
and we hope that no one will neglect to obtain
the first number of these important and ralua-
bic maps. Almost every person in Virginia Is
interested directly or indirectly in the minerals
with which we arc surrounded. and every worthy
effort which may he made to developc them and
make them profitable, should be encouraged
and advanced by every means in our power
We are glad to sec that our efforts through the
"Enquircr" have begun to awaken an interest
in our mining and manufacturing pursuits, and

several quarters, of the right kind. Furnaces
