The Seattle coal mine is an excellent
mine to work, perhaps one of the best
known, and its coal ranks with the very
best grades of Ignite coal, perhaps the
best. Yet this Puyallup coal is claimed
to be equal to the very best coal from
around Pittsburg, and to he compared
with the Cumberland coal for forging
purposes. 1t is said to be first class

uses, and as much higher grade of coal.

In structure, formation character of
