sea water has yet found its way into
the workings as a result of removing

of water per minute was encountered
in some whole-coal workings driven

water levels driven IN the direction
of the outcrop TO the south, but this
water evidently followed the seam of
coal downward from its outcrop under
the waters of the harbor There has
been no water known to come from
overhead across the measures.
This immunity from overhead leaks
from the ocean is probably due to the
presence in the superintendent strata

as to the numerous beds of shale.
The subsistence of the overhead strata
caused by the removal of a bed of
