CAPrlNA, o., August 30.-The parties
engaged in prospecting for coal at Cap.
tina, Belmont county, Ohio, have struck
coal at a depth Of Sc ieet s inches from
the surface. The vein developed at the
bottom OF the shaft measures 6 feet 4
inches in thickness, and is Of the best
grade Of the Bellaire or Pittsburgh coal.
1t is of a superior quality for coking or
steam purposes. 1t promises to richly
repay the company, as every indication
points to it holding out. The company
expect to begin mining coal next week.
The price to be paid for mining will be
the same as at the Bellaire mines.
About twelve miners and entry men will
be wanted at once.
