ThU is true, but it is not tho whole truth. Thcro is bore an extent of coal lands which would surnriso oven a Penns lvanij collier. In addition to what is reported in your papor, wo would say, that John Henderson, H. I'. Ross, M. M. Loam, Calvin Hindi, Thomas Flanagan ec Bother, b'igmond I.tllingcr, Henry b'unford, Chas.

Miller .i Brothers, nil have taken claims in tho Eamo region, and upon tho S3tno coal veins,. and havo found tho btratum, I believe, on almost every claim. As yet theso claims havo not been worked, but wo expect to eco them soon put under way. Tho experiment mado by P. B.
