Are we satisfied from the effort made
at the mineral well to discover coal,
that we have no coal underlying our
region OF country? Very recently
there has been six foot vein found on
the State line, I believe in Crawford
county, and as the coal on the State
line seems to dip from southeast to
northwest, we are of the opinion that
east or northeast near this place coal
might be found at depth of some
thousand feet or more. Shall We re-
sussitate the effort to discover coal in
the vicinity of our city? Let US hear
from you, Mr.. REGISTER. H.
