mite coal into the hard and brittle an

Appearance anil crystalline structure, with
almost every trace Of it's vegetable origin
etfaced.
This is why anthracite is usually
found in the oldes, and deepest OF the
coal deposits. Il is the one that has for
the longest time been snhircI to The heat
found deep down in the earth.
Tae snly place where il has been
found around the Sound is near the
summit Of the Cowli,z pass on the south
eastern surface OF Mount Rainier, where
rucks OF very ancient date are upheay
ed 10y that grand old mourtain peak.
As further confirming this view, coal
is frequently found in level countries;
but when 81 found, the coal bearing
strata is nearly always tilted up one side,
showing that they have been elevated
from below. Coal veins are most often
found on the side of deep fayine where
water has done its work Of erosion, and
thereby exposed them to view.
The present surface is oitentines no
guide to the changes tnht have taken
place ages ago. 1t is certain that the
changes are of such magnitude, and the
urface has been worn away TO such an
extent that few would believe the ac-
count that could be given in regard to
the region between the Sound and the
Cascade mountains.

THE WAY COAL is FORMED.

1t is curious fact that the bituminous
coal fields of the Puyallup and the Skag-
it should be set at right angles in dip
and strike OF the viens to the Ignite coal
fields of Bellingham Bay, Renton, New
castle. etc. Thus Gerlogists suppose
that all coal was formed from vegetable
matter deposited in marshy places and
preserved from decay, until time and the
pressure of rocks formed above it should
have reduced 1T to a uniform carbonifer.-
Gus substance. The differences in age
and the circumstances surrounding each
deposit accounting for the differences In
the coal Supposing this to be the cor
rect theory, no coal would be found on
the surface were it not for the volcano or
the earthquake to lift it up; because since
the era of the coal deposits, rocks have
been formed in many portions OF the
earth miles in thickness above the coal
formation.
At greatdeptbs in the earth, the heat is
so great that men find it oflentimes most
mpossbleto work in the deep est mines.
this cause alone may compel the aban
dOnment of some Of the richest quartz OF
the COmstock lode in Nevadr. Tie great
heat of these lower regions converts
limestone into marble, sandstone into
rock Of a crystalline structure, and it is
supposed to bo the cause Of changing the

DIP AND STRIKE; ;

The dip of o vein is the line crossing
the folding oil the strata aud following
or conforming to its changing surface.
Usually the folds are broken, one end
or edge is exposed, this is frequently
worn off for an indefinite distance, COW
cred by fresh strata, and all signs OF
convulsiou hid frem the eye of every one
but the practical miner and geologist.
When this is the case, the vein dips
towards the centre of the earth at Ger
tain angle from the horizontal 90 de-
grees would be perpendicular SO de
grces north would be that thcsStrata, or
veins of coal inclined downwards 80 de-
grees as you proceeded from the south
towards the north.
The strike or run of the vien is at
right angles usually to the dip, thus the
Seattle mines at Newcastle, dips 38 de-
grees north, and Its strike or run is only
two degrees south of due east from New
castle. In the Skagit and the Puyallup
coal the strike is nearly due north and
sonth, while the dip is all the way from
perpendicular, to 60 degrees west on one
side of the axis of each mountain where
thrown up, to 60 degrees east, on the
other side.
That these two kinds of coal should be
found at right angles to each other is
certainly quite strange.
When the lifting of the veins and
strata are slow and gradual, accomplish
ed only by perhaps changes of level,
possibly such as would not be noticed
were anyone witness of them, there
will be no faults or breaks III the strata.
When sudden earth quakes or the terrific
volcanoes do their work of ruin, the
strata is so broken. bent. twisted and
separted, that oitentimcs it is impossible
to work given vein, b ecause its strata

THE TUNNELS OF THE SEATTLE MINE.
The main gangwaY or tunnel of coal
mine is usually nearly horizontal, in the

are those where the coal is 50 elevated

tunnel can be run into the side of tle
mountain, somewhere between 80 and
100 feet ab0ye the level Of the roadway
where the coal Is to be loaded into cars.
This highth is necessary for tile bunkers

a gangway drains itself. and the slight
incline necessary for drainage, also causes

the welfare and success Of the company.
TRANSPORTATION.
The first tunnel was run from coal
creek. east ol Newcastle anil the oppe-
sile Of the hi.l to the prcrrnt entrance
oi the mine. Less than ten years ago, an
Insignificant business WAS done in haul
ing this coal in wagons from the Lewis
tunnel, over ruff rnad, o. Lake Wash
ington, thence in barges by way Of the
Black and Dwamish rivers to Seattle.
Then steamers were placed on Lake
Union and Lake Washington and a tram
way constructed, which with the steam
ers formed continuous line t0 the Cos
wharf Mt Sca,tlc. The cais were drawn
by mules ON THIS roadway. Afterwards
the locomotive was introduced on these
roads, and last wintef, ou the completion
of the Newcastle branch of the Seattle
and walla Walla railroad to Newcastle
these former roads were discon,in-
ued altogether. There is now direct
railroad connection between these mines
and deep water, distance 10y this road
of some 90 miles; hut much less than
half that in straight line.
COAL PRODUCED.
The product of the mine has steadily
increased with each Improvement in
transportation. In fact ii has usually
crowded the transportation afforded.
A few years ago, 100 tons per day was
looked upon as a very large yield. Last
year some 500 tons per day were deliver
ed for portion of the year.
The highest figures this season for
coa'transportation are as follows:
Nav 29nd, SO cars.
July 29th,
30th, so
Aug. 7th, 81
The usual average per car is about
nine and one half ton, although on one
of the above days, the run was two tons
short of 1000 tons, or 9S8 tons for a sim
gle days work
Last month the run was 1920 tons Of
coal, or an average OF over $50 tons Of
coal per day for each working day.
With the large amount transported to
San Francisco, there has been no coal
accumulated there tor months past.
ShonId arrangements be effected, So
that 1000 tons OF coal per day would be
transported, probably there would be a
COED market for all of it. This figure is
the ideal point aimed at ny those now
at the mines. 1t will probably be reach.
ed before another year.

THE LARGEST AND BEST
COAL NINE ON THE
COAST.
A Eull Description Of the pres
ent Appearance Of
alae Mine.

Last year quite full history Of this
important mine was given in the STAR
with description OF its appearance at
that time. Recently coupl- of visits
have been made there, that have furnish
additional information in regard to this
great coal deposit. and have enabled the
STAR to submit much additional matter
mot previously in print, concerning the
present workings Of this, the largest
coal mine ofths coast.
No more OF the matter contained in
last years number on this subject will be
repeated, than is necessary to make an
ineligible description.
OFFICERS.
The leading officers of the Seattle coal
company at the mines are;
c. H. Burnett, Superintendent.
]. V. Roach, Storekeeper.
T. L. Flanagan, Foreman of outside
work.
E. W. Lewis, Foreman of inside work
in tine main mine.
John Murray, Foreman OF Number A.
DR.. Bryant is the resident physician,
and Miss Monahan is teaching the school
there. A substantial church ediflce free
to all denominations is in the town, in
which religious services are held most
every Sunday, but there is no regular
clergyman or church established there.
E. Polhemus, the Gen. Agt. of the COM
pany has his Office on Commercial Street
in Seattle, near the wharf of the Seattle
and Walla Walla railroad company.
SITUATION.
The town OF Newcastle is situated only
some four miles cast Of Lake Washing
ton. The level of the railroad track at
the loading station, foot OF the bunkers'
Is some $50 feet above the lake, and the
entrance to the main mine is some 410
feet above the level of the lake. The
lake itself is supposed to be some ten to
twenty feet aboveIthe level OF the Sound.
This would make the entrance of the
mine about 425 feet above the sea.
A gentleman by the name of Lewis,
at present reSident Of Seattle, first dis
covered and opened the nine. He soon

before their union: after their union, the
main tunnel has been continued as far as
the work has gone.
Its entrance is 4t0 feet above Lake
Washington. 1t raises one inch to every
100 feet, or over four feet to the mile.
The working rooms or breasts are every
fifty feet. A chute seven feet wide brings
the coal down the incline or dip of the
strata into the cars ON the gangway
track where they are hauled out by
mules or horses.
The loaded caIs go out Of No. 2 and
the empty cars 60 in at No, L., forming
for that distance, 5000 feet, double
track, beyond which are suitable switch
es, so there is no trouble in the cars
passing and repassing each other.
To go eastward over the hill from the
entrance of the Tunnel to Coal creek
to the point where Lewis first ian his
tnnnel into the vein where the principal
work has been done, it would require n
walk of between two and three miles;
but by the main gangway or tunnel of
