tissy formation. IL Is not % snlid as
Cumberland coal. nor is il Of the same sP--
ci6c gravity. but il should be hcrne in
mind that ell the coal a. Jet taken out is
little better than mere outcrcppings. Some
of the FIRST coal taken out upon being test
ed. was found Of the specific gravity Of
LIS, while siWilar samples from the Ma
naimo, at the time Of its opening, were
l.O4. The later coal, from the deep of
the scam. where it is now worked, is LES.
A similar increase may be expected. AS
this coal is more deeply worked. It is re.
mark ably clean, is a jet black, and as We
advance nlong the seam, is becoming much
harder. Some Of it seems to be nearly as
hard a., anthracite. 1t burns with clear
fame, does not emit the black smoke SO
common to other ccals OH the coast, aud so
far as tried. it is pronounced superior for
purposes Of stea,n. Its heating power
seems to De very great. 1t burns up thor
oughly. making no clinker aud leaving
very small proportion OF ashes"
S Competent engineers, employed in the
navigation Of these waters, and in foun-
dries connected with our large mills, speak
Of this coal a. "kindling quickly, burn
ing freely and clean. emitting strong
heat. making little or no clinkers aud
leaving about ten per cent in ashes" One
Of them. an old engineer, snys: I" For
steaming. prefer il to any coal have ~
yet tried on the Pacific coast" .s3 !.
Two companies have been incorporated
for the purpose Of working these mines.
The first called the "Coal Greek Road
Company" derive their aes Of incorpora.
toe from the Legislative Assembly, with
right Of ray 10 build rail or tram road
from their mine, upon Coal Greek, along
its banks to where it empties in Lake
Lake Washington, distance three miles.)
The capital stock, in shares of 5000 each,
may be increased from $4,000 to $780,.
600. The mine of this company is on .
quarter-section of land, distant in direct
line from Seattle about eight miles. The
Lake Washington Coal Company, incor-
porated Under the general incorporation
law Of this Territory, own three quarter
sections, adjoining the Coal Greek Compa.
ny. The capital stock Of this company,
45o0 ,00o, is divided into shares Of 500
each. s ..'' =
, Mr.. Whitwortb's description Of the
mines of the latter Company, will give =
general idea Of all these mines. He says ):
!" We have four seams of coal, but have
only opened two Of them, at point where
they crop out on the Creek. and have only
penetrated them On level from so to so
