and half feet, and its outcrop is every
where near the surface-in many places
only few strokes OF the pick being re-
ouired to uncover Il. This vein kceDS
almost nj the same level, there being only
n slight dip 10 the northeast, and extends
several hundred miles. The mountains
are clothed 20 The top with splendid forest
trees, which will afford abundant building
material and tinker for the mines, while a
fine quality OF sandstone, which IL the
principal rock-formstion, Is right at hand
Tor use IN making cOke-Ovens. and for any
other purpose for which building rock IS
needed.
