UNBROKEN STRATUM OF SUPERIOR GAS COAL,
while equally valuable for almost all other USES
some idea of the quantity OF coal here existing may
be had by calling attention to the fact that each
foot Of thickness in coal seam yields 1000 tons OF
gettable coal to the acres and 80 this seam would
give 1000 per acre, 900 tons for this es
tate And this is but of the dozen or more work
able seams of coal that have been proven above
water level in this portion of the coal fields varying
In thickness, including the slate paintings, from
three to eleven feet. have measured, upon the es
tate below this on the same side Of the river
than one mile distant, seam Of coal II IT. inches
thick about 400 feet above the river level This Is
sptnt and bttumtn0us coal with thin slate partlngs

perty. This seam Is seven feet thick, and is made
of 3 feet Of camel at the bottom with 81 feet Of
splint at the top.
FACILITIES FOR MINING.
The moderate inclination Of the qualification of
the beds would render the mines self draining and
self ventilating and the coal could be easily run to
ably situated for mining purposes for all its beds OF
coal may be entered from the valley of Smither's
Greek and worked up their inclination, consequently
this property Is much more valuable than one that
the outcrops of Its seam where they decline
into the hills This property is exceptionally val
liable In this, that 1t has extended frontage on
Smithers Greek, and that all Its Goals can be most
conveniently mined into the moderately inclined
navigable Kanawha River and G. o. Railway.
TRANSPORTATION.
The improvements of the Kanawha River by the
O. S. Government, now nearly completed, afford
water communication with the markets Of the worl
direct from the property, and the G. o. Railway,
less than mile Distant furnishes the amplest faci
tiles for the transportation Of the products Of the
mines.
Part of original survey, of which this estate ia
portion owned by G. P. Huntington and others, and
held to be one Of the most valuable pieces OF proper
- TIMBER.
The land also has upon 1t millions of feet of the
dnest timber, such as Oak, Walnut Poplar, Birch,
made for the timber by the u. s. Government, but
the owners have refused to have any Of 1t taken
Considering the richness of the coal deposits the
value Of the TIMBER favorable location for mining,
and facilities for marketing, this property stands
almost unequaled. The attention of capitalists Is
specially invited to an examination. Maps and
full geological reports made by Jed. Hotohkiss, Con
sulting Engineer are published In THE VIRdINIAs
March, 1880, and will be furnished together with
and other Information in regard thereto by the un-
