In studying this record 1t must be re-
membered that at this point OF boring,
there formerly existed deep lake or
lagoon, having the regular qualifications
cropping out at its opposite banks, the
deposits OF clays and shales above the
regular qualification having occurred as
the waters gradually retired, filling up the
chasm to the present leyeFof the bed OF
Wheeling Greek. This Is demonstrated
by the character and quality OF the'strata.
The all important matter land the pur-
pose OF this writing) is to show the econ
omic value OF the valuable coal seam at a
depth OF $50 feet. Although fully salts
fed OF its superior qualities, particularly
for working iron, | have as yet made no
analysis to prove II; but 1t can thus be
fully established.
After reaching about l? feet below the
lower coal vein gas came up so freely that
that Mr.. Reymann has put in seed bag
at the bottom, and tubcd his well TO this
point. A Jet OF Chiefly light carburetted
Hydrogen is projected from the upper end
OF the tube, which, when ignited, gives n
fame Of more than IS inches in length.
The gas also throws up about three barrels
grains Of solid matter, composed Of chic.
ride Of soda (salt), chloride Of calcium,
carbonate OF iron, carbonic acid gas, etc.
and may prove a valuable medicinal water.
Mr.. R. proposes to utilize the gus by
Illuminating his brewery. ] regret my in.
ability to obtain specimen Of each foot
OF the boring, so as to show moro clearly
the exact composition and order Of the
qualification.
The development and use OF the coal
promises to revolutionize and improve the
manufacture Of iron in this city.

Since Wheeling has become an inn
portant point for manufactures, moro par
ticularly OF iron and glass, the attention Of
our citizens has been strongly directed to
the quantity, quality andprice Of our Goals.
The first knowledge OF the existence OF
strata OF coal beneath the surface was de-
veloped by Mr.. John Duty in boring for q
salt we'll short distance above the present
"TopMill.n Iquote theiollowing rom the
wheeling Directory, edited published
by James Green, dated Wheeling, March
10th, 1891 Speaking Of quality and
amount OF coal in the vein ut present
worked he says: "And even suppose 1t OK
haustable-we have another and more
abundant resource. The late Mr.. John
Duty in boring for salt water, forty years
since, where Agnew's Iron Works now
stand, penetrated to the depth OF O20 feet.
At about 24O feet nc perforateda stratum
Of coal Of about ten feet, and at depth oil
500 feet another stratum Of about five or
six feet in thickness. Both were con-
sldercd Of good quality, but the upper

I have no doubt that Mr.. Green read
Mr.. Dulty's record Of his boring, before
writing The above. Many Of our citizens
have doubted these facts, but through

Mcssrs. John S. Maxwell and Joseph
Hall, who have never relinquished the
idea that there was money in the Pot
terry business, have for some time, been
advertising for financial manager and
travelling men who each had 5000 to in
vest in profitable business. That bust
ness was pottery, to be located in this
city. Their efforts in this direction seem
at last about to be crowned with success.
A gentleman in East Liverpool, an old
potter, who learned the business in Eng.
land and has followed 1t in this country
for number OF years, proposes to invest
5000 in the enterprise, provided two
persons in this city can be found who are
willing to invest 5000 each, one to gil
the position Of financial agent and the
other TO be travelling salesman. This
Liverpool gentleman, We are informed by
Mr.. Hall, Is q No. mechanic and No. l
man, coming to US with the best Of recon-.
mendations.
Another gentleman, who lives near this
city, who is also a practical man, having
learned the art in England and followed 1t
in this country for fifteen years, proposes,
all things being favorable, TO invest s, 600
in the enterprise. In company with Mr..
Hall this gentleman is going up to East
Liverpool tomorrow TO inspect a new
works that has recently been erected there.
1t possesses all the modern improvements,
and it will DO used as q model for the one
TO be erected In Steubenville.
Mr.. Hall thinks there will DO no difficult
ty in getting the works erected here provi-
ded our citizens now show the interest in
It they should. He states that he and Dir.
Maxwell have already received considera-
bic encouragement, as several Of our capt.
talists have expressed themselves as favor

in II. He says that the idea Is first TO man
uiacture what Is known as the O. G. ware,
but the works are 20 be so constructed that
at any time they can manufacture white
granite ware, II deemed advisable.

TnK Pacific railroad is tho great success
full railroad OF the country during all these
years of depression; especially is this true
Of the western end, the Central Pacific,
whose not earnings increase from year to
year. Both ends have suspended dividends,
pending the legislation by Congress, the
Central having paid none for a year, the
Union for six months. The combined line
has lately adopted strenuous policy to
secure contracts from shippers by the
year. The regular ratio for all shipments
was put up to 12 cents a pound, an enor-
nous tariff, which the Pacific Mail and
Panama railroad followed by rising to 10
cents. Shippers were informed, however,
that freight would be taken by the year at
q cents pound, a reduction from prev
ious regular rates, but still pretty high.
It is equivalent to $50 a ton for about 1000
miles carriage, or moro than cent ton a
mile. This cuts into the Pacific Mail bust
ness severely, and it is said $4,000 is
allowed to that company by way Of in.
demnity.

RAILRAOD DOWN THE RIVER.

We copy from the New Msrtinsville
usss tnqer All article in favor of building
narrow guage railroad from Wheeling
to Psrkersburg. The length Of this road
would be- about the same rs that from
Parkersburg TO Charleston, which Mr..
Isaac PRAagR, after careful estimate
Of sll the expenses, concludes can
be built and equipped for the sum OF
$5OO,OOO. But taking the cost OF the
Washington and Waynesburg Narrow
Gusge as criterion, it could
be put in successful operation for
3 considerable less sum. But sup
posing it to cost fully halt million dol
lars, it seems to US that Wheeling and
the counties of Marshall Wetzel, Tyler,
Plesssnts and Wood, ought to raise that
sum amongst them with but little diff
Guilty. 1t would be an average OF less
than 10000 esch; and We suppose that
no one DOUBTS that even the smallest and
poorest of these counties would be
benefited infinitely more than that sum
10y the building of the road. If the
project is properly discussed sll along
the line, we believe it will result in the
building of the road.

Narrow Gauge Railroad from
wheeling 10 Parkcrsburg.

New Martinsville Messenger.
A gentleman who was at Wheeling
the past week informs US that the sub
stantial business men Of that city are be-
coming very much interested in the pro.
ject for building narrow gauge railroad
from Wheeling 70 fsrkersburg.
Those who have carefully examined
the proposed route, and VINO are thor
oughly converssnt with the resources Of
the country through which the road
would pass are completely y convinced
that it can and will be built, and also
that it would prove to be one of the best
paying roads in The State.
The importance OF such road to the
people of the State can scarcely be over
estimated. 1t would give new impetus
to every branch of business, and as our
immense timber and mineral resources
would be developed q class OF emigrants
would be attracted who would assist IN sd-
vancing the State IN the path of progress
with more than seven lesugue strides.
That something OF the kind would
bring the dswning OF new ella for
Wetzel county is an undisputed fact.
Rich as the county is in natural resources
they must be developed, and it is TO the
uncertainty OF river navigation that we
owe the fact that this emigration will
not come and these improvements and
developments will not be made until we
have railroad. This is the railroad age,
and it is useless to expect much prosper
ity away from their direct influence.
Push the matter along, and when the
time Tor action comes on this part of the
line, Wetzel county will respond to the
call of duty.
