The subject Of your article on the 23d

"Ncw Era in Fuel" has ocCNpied my at.
trntiOn Tor some time past, and | am
highly gratiled at the success Of the eS.
pertinent by McssrS Graf, Bennett ~ Co.
Why should not our iron mills have M
equal advantage? After much study Of
the order Of qualification, dip, depth and
economic Value Of the different strata,
above and below the water line Of the
Ohio river, between Stcubenyillc and
Moundsyille, the evidence i, very strong
that the "OhiO Black Slate or "lIurOn
Shalcs,' would be reached in this
vicinity at about the depth Of six.
teen hundred feet. This is the point at
which the subtCrranean gas is found and
in proportion to the depth, 10 Is the vol.
lime and force Of the gas.
1t is not improbable that the recent
upward How Of oil, found in tho coal
Shaft opposite MOundsyille, may have
found its way to the surface through n
crcycc Of the super.imposed rocks AZ that
particular point. This same gas Ia now
flowing at New Cumberland, in Hancock
county, W. Va, and It's carbon Is con.
,lcn'cd to form lamp.black Of superior
quality. So that the indications above
and below our city, are Of such promising
character m to warrant m experimental
boring to the depth first specified. There
IL no question, that the two underlying
strata Of coal, would also be proven to
exist by the boring.
In regard to the boring Of John Dully,
Eva Of North Wheeling, quote from
the first Wheeling Directory" issued by
MI James Green, March 10, 1886;
We Duty penetrated to the depth Of about
w icyL Al about 30 feet h. perforated a stratum
Of ni Of ten lpet and At the depth Of 800 feet an
9!lAti stratum Of about Ave VI SIX feet thickness
Both wcfc considered Of good quality, hut the up

The present cost Of boring, ] learn, is at
the rate Of 50 90 per foot, for the first l..
900 feet, and about s. per foot for the
succeeding 800 feet. | am quite sure that
the moro this subject Is examined, the
greater ls promise Of good. We cannot

A Washington dispatch says: "The government has secured a large amount of silver bullion at reasonable rates, and coining will be pushed forward at once. The various hints are working full time now on trade dollars, for which there has been quite de- mand, on centennial tokens, and on dimes, besides the regular gold coinage. All the dies arc ready except for twenty cent pieces, and they will soon be completed. There are many matters of detail to be attended to before com mcncing silver resumption, and regulations must be carefully pre- pared when the treasury common ces paying silver. The bullion on hand fer the purpose of com mencing IS sufficient, with alloy, to make $2,5O0,000 in five, ten, twenty, twenty y-fivc and fifty-cent pieces. When they are coined the treasury will commence, and it is believed that mlnts can keep up the supply after that. It is probable silver resumption will begin ill two or three months"
