Fossil Goal Fields.

Last week we thought Chas. Miller, the
coal miner. reticent about giving rs definite
information concerning the work at the coal
miEes, and 80 we have found the following:
A tunnel was commenced down the steep
hill 800 feet from the north opening of the
mines (the one highest on the mountain this
side of where Mr.. Peterson hves) and about
half way between that opening and the one
near the base of the mountain. Mr.. Miller
concluded that if the strata Of coal was reg
ular and continuous, this tunnel would
strike it at 420 feet, and that the quality
would be likely to improve. We ascer-
tanned that the tunnellers reached the vein
as expected at the distance of 42O feet, and
that the dip of the VEIN is the same as at
the upper opening, but the quality is superior
to any coal mined on the Pacific coast. The
strata O. coal in this vein measures about
thirteen feet in . perpendicular cross sec
ton. This proves good deal, and ought
to convince the most skeptical person that
these coal mines are valuable property.
