4 NEW COAL FIELD IN ENGLAND.

The opening Of lew coal field in Great Britain 10
matter of considerable Importance 10 that country.
1t might be supposed that the coal measures OF that
country had been pretty thoroughly explored, and
that It's resources were fully known but the Gls-
covcries now made show that at least one field Of
some extent lett The new workings are In
Kent, In the extreme southern part Of England bor-
derng the Channel. which separates the Island
from France. Biologists have long asserted the
probable existence Of coal there; but It. IS only q
gun. The shafts sunk have now reached a point
where the existence OF workable coal measures Is
proved. and II is believed that the new mines will
furnish desirable addition 10 the coal supply OF the
country The nature of the coal and the geological
conditions indicate that IL is probably continuation
OF the seams which are extensively worked In the
basin OF the Pas-du-Caais In northern France. The
Kent coal is nearer London than that OF any other
district. and that fact will give the mines an ad-
vantage in supplying the market Of the city since
the question of freChts il important

charged the English railroads and the greater
differences In them due 20 distance.
