MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.
Coal Deposits of Central illinois

Coal deposits of Central Illinois.
The following lis the report of Dr. r. p.
Stevens on the coal deposits of Central and
Southern Illinois: Dr.. Stevens was a colabo-
rator Of Robert Rantoul and others 20 years
ago in preliminary surveys Of Indiana Ohio,
Illinois, and Pennsylvania. His Judgment as
probably the most accomplished expert for this
region will be looked for with interest
NFw YORK, Dec. a, 1872
GENTLEMEN:-In answer to your inquiries, I
have to say, that in my capacity as Geologi-
cal expert I am quite well acquainted with the
mineral resources of the State of Illinois, hay
ing been heretofore in this character in the ex-
animation of the route of the pioneer railroads
of that State.
therefore know the character of the country
over which your road contemplates running,
from Jacksonville to Shawneetown on the Ohio
River ~ ~ IL. ~
From Jacksonville to Centralia the route is
over surface admirably adapted to corn and
grass. From Centralia to Shawneetown. the
route is over a region which furnishes the best
wheat of Illinois. The flour made from wheat
grown in this section of the State is fully equal
to that of Richmond Va. From Mt. Vernon
to Shawneetown is an old-cultivated portion of
the State
The success of building railroads over agri-
cultural portions Of the State has been fully
proved by the Illinois Central Railroad.
Every portion of the State having width of
thirty miles has now, or soon will have, re-
sources in local traffic to support and pay for
building frst-class road.
I,oIo 1on e ~.
eoal-beds of the great coal-felds of the State.
In many places, as at Die Quon, the coal
comes to the surface; in others it lies deep be-
meath the surface,-such is that of Macoupin
County.
The sample of coal you have presented as
coming from Virden I recognize as belonging
to the lower series, such as appears at Brazil,
in Indiana, and at Murphysboro on the Big
Muddy River in Illinois.
1t belongs to the class of block-coals--i C., a
free-burning, non-caking coal. 1t is adapted to
the crate and locomotive uses, and also for
smelling. From it's behavior in the crucible I
judge it will sustain good burden in the fur
mace.
1t appears to be quite solid and firm, without
any signs of free sulpher. Ash is white in COL
or and the coke solid. Each separate piece of
coal placed in the crucible maintains its form
and reappears as coke. This is good sign for
use of raw coal in blast furnaces
| The quantitative analysis made by Prof. C.
A. Seely shows it to be fully equal to any coal
of Illinois for gas purposes.
Every test of this coal shows it to be one of
| the very best Goals Of the Western coal-fields

DUTIES OF THE FIRE MARsHAL-The
whole population of our city may not be aware
that the foreign and home insurance compan-
les represented in this city acting in conjunc-
ton with the city government, have recently
appointed Mr.. Harris c. Barnes as Fire Mar
shall on inspection of buildings as such an Of
ficer is denominated in other cities. He has
commenced his duties in systematic manner,
beginning at the Portland Company Works and
taking the lengthwise streets ON the harbor
side, with the cross streets intervening. AS q
general rule the Inspector has been received
very cordially, landlords and tenants alike SEEM
ing willing to afford him every reasonable ia
cility to axamine their stoves furnaces and
chimney connections. The examinations al
ready made have developed the fact that the
Office was created none too soon. Mr.. B. found
many cases where stcve-pipes ran through
wooden freboards, and where some of the
boards had taken fire. Also cases where fun
nels in use where other tunnels had formerly
connected, were stopped up with paper or cloth,
and where many funnel holes in chimneys were
left entirely open. H found that landlords es-
pecially were willing to make any needful ad-
ditions to protect their pro perty, such as new
collars and shoppers in old collars set in CHM
neys, where they had been taken out and not
replaced, and where the danger from fire was
great These careless habits are the causes of
some large CONGREGATIONS and certainly of many
minor tires, to say nothing of false alarms (al-
tnough the alarm is never false).
we learn that the cost of calling out our fire de-
partment, consisting of four steam engines and
one hook and ladder company, is about one
hundred dollars. In this connection we wouId
call upon our citizens in cases of small fires to
be careful of giving general alarm, oftentimes
a single engine or a pipe from hydrant will
answer all the purpose The number of GU,
fires have been quite above the average during
the last year. Will not our citizens then afford
the Fire Marshal every facility to make hi
requisite examinations and thus aid in protect
ing us from further CONGREGATIONS.
