COAL AND MINERALS

from mines in East Tennessee, eleven of
which are now being worked Prominent
among the specimens we notice those of
the Wilcox Mining Company, of Roane;
Coal Creek Coal Company, formerly M G
Wilcox & Co; Knoxville Iron Company !;
McEwen, Wiley & Co, of Anderson !;
Kennedy & Morrow; and Careyyille Coal
Company, of Campbell county, and by
way of comparison, some from Ohio and
Pennsylvania, and very fine specimen of
coke from Etna Mines, Whitesides. Col
Wilcox was one of the pioneers in the de-
velopment Of East Tennessee Goals, COM
mencing at Coal Creek, and has probably
devoted more time and spent more money
than any man in the State during the past
5years in practical and scientific researches
regarding our most wonderful coal deposits,
now known to consist of at least twelve
strata or veins mostly lying horizontally.
Prof. Bradley, of the East Tennessee Uni
versity, was employed by him and furnish
ed with corps of assistants to make a
thorough geological survey of parts of
Roane and Morgan counties, and the pub
lished reports and maps are pronounced by
scientific men to be the best ever gotten up
in this State. The Typographical engineer
ing and drawing was done by Charles
Waring, and the whole certainly reflects
great credit upon Trofs Bradley and
Waring as well as Col Wilcox, to whom
science will owea debt of gratitude as well
as the State.
Mr. Seymour is in charge of the depart
ment of minerals which numbers more
more than 200 specimens.
