Coal In the Trausvaal.

In one colliery not half dozen miles
from the gold mines ] have seen a seam
OF coal 20 feet in thickness. This coal,
though of low quality, suffices for the
purposes OF the gold mines, and there
is sufficient quantity of il to outlast
far the lives Of all the gold miners. Be-
sides these coal deposits near the gold
fields and those others by the Vaal riv-
er, which furnish coal for the railway
system far down into Cape Colony,
there are literally hundreds, perhaps
even thousand. square miles of coal in
the heidelberg and Ermelo districts ly-
ing between Pretoria and Delagoa Bay.
In the midst of these coal beds is the
outcrop of iron ore, and running
through them is the lately constructed
railway to Delagoa Bay. With these
vast coalfields close to first rate port
on the Indian ocean the prospects of the
coal mining industry seem brilliant.
