legged unlawful selections of land in
Florida, were taken up and Mr.. Call
addressed the senate upon them.

FLAT TOP COAL.
THREE WORKABLE SEAMS
ABOVE WATER-LEVEL.
THE COAL Is FREE FROM FAULTS.

tem-Incrsase In Amount Of Coal
Mined Total Tonnage Shipped for
the Year.

The geologists class this field as
belonging to the lowest member OF
the coal measures, No. II Of Rogers,
and as equivalent to the Quinnimont
series of the New River and Kanawha
regions. They claim there are three
workable seams above water-level,
but as yet the No. 3. known as the
Nelson seam, IS the only one that has
been operated in. This Is found, as
far as developed, high above water
Ieyel, affording easy natural drainage
for all workings.
All openings are drifts, some OF
them high up on the mountain side,
requiring incline planes. The coal is
free from faults. Clay veins. spars,
rolls or horsebacks are never found in
it. Everything handled by the miner
is placed in the wagon except In some
districts q small streaked termed
"bony coal" is found near the top
which is condemned by the inspect
ors, and has to be thrown out. AT
the Pocahontas mines the seam
averages from II to 12 feet, and holds
it's universal thickness for miles. In
the Elkhorn-and Bluestone districts
it averages from to 10 feet, except at
tlipping, where the vein divides, but
A feet being above water level. The
fine qualities of this coal are already
we'll known.
The openings have been well made
on the double entry system Fine
large tipples are built and fitted up
with elevators, slack bins, etc. Large
and small screens are used by which
four different grades OF coal are
made-run of mine, lump, nut, and
slack for the ovens. A very pretty
grade of nut coal is now going into
market from this region for domestic
purposes The mines have natural
drainage and are ventilated with large
fans, enabling them to run locomo-
tives to the interior of the workings.
The miners are paid rs cents per car
of two tons run of mine coal for room
work. Entries. $1.05 per car; break.
