In the aggregate about 1(H) pounds, were
wu iii now tne iuii-uuiiou pros
pects, back of Warren, Monday, and
nave been sent to the exposition at
Portland. These sample cuine from
the tunnel which has been driven this
fall, and la now In a distance of
sixty-five feet, and It 1 evident that a
good quality of lignite coal will soon
be dovclffped. There is sufficient if
volatile matter and fixed carbon to make
It a good steaming coal and aa ail things
now indicate there will be a very large
and valuable vein of coal developed
there.
The gentlemen Interested in these
properties are now preparing to Incor
porate, when- enough treasury stock
will be sold to enable the development
work to proceede in a more extensive
manner. The articles of incorporation
are now being prepared and the com
pany will be styled the Cliftonow Coal
Mining Company.
What is of equal importance to the
owners of the prospects and an anxious
public is the prosecution of the work of
exploration and development. At the
inner enu ni tne tunnel the vein ol coal
is now practically (olid, measuring al
