the first rock OF the kind / have seen
in this part of the State; and there is
an abundance Of it, as we proved it
sufficiently to show. We exposed
some six feet in thickness in one
place, and at other places on the
same altitude 4 feet, and so on across
the width of some 40 acres facing the
river. The rock seems to pitch into
the bluff, which is one of the best In
dications for its thickening to heavy
masses. There Is no better building
rock than this. 1t will stand the
strongest atmospheric action--rain,
sleet, cold, storms, heat, &C., without
affecting 1t in the least. 1t will also
work up well into the finest building
material. A sandstone shale exists
above this rock, which can be easily
removed, and the blue rock quarried.
On a portion Of Section 16-76-2l,
owned by Jordan & Bros, a stone
quarry is partially opened. This is
sandstone, and very good quality.

EDITOR VOTER:
Since my last, I have ban engaged
in making surveys from Knoxville
to within q shQrt distance e the
County line on the west. TheSh-
tude Of the country rises as we lea>S
Knoxville towards Plcasantville, so
that at Pleasantville the elevation is
some p feet higher than at Knox
willie. Within this survey I take in
: scope of country from 6to Z miles
, In width and some IA miles In length.
Some two or three miles west of
Knoxville lies some fine coal land,
which would make in blocks, patches
! snd belts, the land being cut up to a
great extent by faults, washes, &c.
There can be no doubt but that the
2dand 3d veins of coal exist, and
would pay heavy to work along this
section of the County, by selecting
the land and then sinking shafts in
the right places. Along the White
breast at different points / find that
entries could be run in on the ID vein
where the coal must necessarily mako
from four to six feet in thickness.
BY taking a zigzag course across
the country / now and then touched
upon some capital bluff table lands,
which are without doubt underlaid
with heavy deposits of coal. 1t Is
impossible for me to give all the diff
ferent sections of coal lands which
this survey takes in, in this report,
as the ranges seem to be cut up SC
fearfully that the bodies of coal land
would have to be selected, and the
lines struck. AS IA general thing,
however, the heavy bodies of coal
must lie deeper as we leave Knox
vile westward. Yet there are "A few
exceptions. / can discover the crop
ping of the first vein at variouspoints,
in some places the vein proper, In
some places the groupings of the I'd
vein, and even the second vein prop
er, from 4 to feet in thickness which
is now opened and being worked.
There are several points where small
banks have been opened and great
deal Of coal mined, which are now
ahandQne lQtalle0R Knox yilla and
Pleasailtvilic, taking In asoutheast-
erly and northwesterly course. AT
