Coal in Caucasus Region.

While peasants were recently dig.
ging a well near the village of Tar
idvor, in the Ressen valley, in the
Caucasus, coal was found 16 feet from
the surface; the vein, however, was
but 2.25 feet in thickness. Enough
coal has already been found in this
particular locality to supply the entire
neighborhOod, and in all probability
there are other and greater deposits
not yet located.
