There is a constantly increasing de
mand for coal and iron, and tbat our
mines may bo opened to the marltots of
the world it is Tory important that this
road should rocei ve the onoouragemont
of the people of Clinton oounty, as it
will be a grand movement toward tbo
development of our minorals, and will
induce capitalists to invest their money
in lands that are now y folding no profit,

Extracts from Geological Reports.
MOM rROFESSOn ROGERS.
t Prof. II. J). Rogers, in his "Report
on tho Goology of Pennsylvania, a
Government survey," tho most thor
ough and roliable work on tho groat
Pennsylvania coal-fiold, and the
standard for roforonco in all Amoriunn
ooal survoys, says i
. Wo may say that the regularly con
tinuous coat-measures of the Second
, Jiusln begin near tho mouth of Koltlo
Creek, and follow tbonoe the genoral
' course of tho Susquobanna to its source,
" or at loaBt as far as Canoo Placo at
the southwest corner of CloarQold
county. From nonr CloarQold to
Kettle Crook the river flows noarly
; along the middle of the trough, sop
' portod by the ooal moasuros as far as
Jloravioii Bun : but from this stream
to tho influx of Eottlo Crook it cuts
through into lowor rocks, and cleaves
the ooal into two high narrow belts,
one on each side of tho doop trough
in which tbo river winds. As the
basin progressively doopons from the
Sinnemahoning southwest, itembracos
in that direction a vory valuable thick
ness of useful mineral strata ; and
hero, too, we first meet with those
" singularly persistent scams of lime
, stone, alternating with the coal, which
Jirovo such invaluable guides in identi
fy in 2 tbo sorios of coal rocks over the
wholo region to tho south and west.
, Thoro are in all 10 coal Booms of
grealor or loss size in this part of tho
.1 basin. The thick bed nqar the top is
the only ono borcto mined. This bod
is altogether 6 feet thick, but this in
cludes 1 foot of inferior coal near tho
',. top, which is not mined; the remain
der of the seam consists of vory ex
cellent coal, adapted to making a
' superior eoko. Lowor down in the
mossures occur two important bods
ot iron ore. Jno or these at an devo
tion of 345 foot above the river, is es
timated to contain in all 2 fcot of good
bluo kidnoy ore in 11 foct of shale.
The othor stratum lies at an olovation
of 208 foot. It also exhibits about 2
foot of good kidney ore in a stratum of
Eliale less than Yi toot thick. J. bin
band is locally Called the "rod ore"
and is of a different variety from that
above- thoy nro both of excellent
quality.
Besides tho thick upper coal thore
are three others of a sizo suitablo for
raining, one of which is 8 feet thick,
and two others each 3 fcot; but none
of those supply as puro coal as the
main scam.
Nino miles above this, 03 the river,
tho red ore bas been found, and is
stated to be thicker than ntKnrtliaus.
Throe miles higher up there occurs a
bod of coal near tho summits of the
highest hills, Which measures 4 feet 4
inches in thickness ; this, thore is some
reason to suppose, is part of the main
Karthans seam. Between tbo two
. localities raontionod appears a bod of
limestone. -
At Karthaus tho total dopth ' of
coal-measures above tho Conglomerate
is at least i20 feet, in which are includ
ed nine.beds of ooal 'of various dimen
sions, besides beds of fire-clay and iron
ore.
From a point scvoral miles bolow
Karthaus, the coal-measures in the
river hills aro quite productive, em
bracing several bands of iron ore,
limostooo and some cxcollont coal
seams; and noar Three Huns we have,
bosidos, promising indications of the
oro peculiar to tbo upper Umbral red
shales. ' 1
Tbo coal basin doopening gradually
as we ascend tho river, tho largo np
por seam at Karthaus doos not enter
tbo hills until we pass above the neigh
borhood of Throe Huns. At the lat
ter locality occurs a bod of coal 8 feet
2 inobes thick, wbioh has been oponed,
associatod with a layer of limestone
and one of fire-clay. Openings were
onoo mado into a coal bed and band of
iron ore on the south side ' of tho
river, at a point high up in tho hills;
but the succoss Of the exploration is
unknown Tracing the coal rucks
back from the river for two or throe
miles in this diroction, wo find them
fradually rising until thoy appear
nally only in the bigbost knobs, be
yond which they are succeeded by tho
coarse beds of the Beral Conglomerate
expanded over the elevated tract des
ignated "lIigblands"on the Slato Map,
- On Birch Island Run, which enters
theBustpicbanna below Karthaus near
tho county - line, and thirty milos
northeast of Clearfield, sovernl beds
of coal have beon dovoloped on the
property of Dr. Lorain. Tho most
important of thoso is opened on the
hill between tho forks of the stream.
The bed Is said by thoso who proved
it to be six foot thick, and is rogardod
as the big Karthaus bed. A still high
er seam, four foot thick, is found in
the hill tops about thirty foot over the
large bed. Iron ore is found associa
ted with the shales enclosing it. Be
noath the large coal, forty foot, a
stratum of limestone throe foot thick
oulorops. On the same property far
ther west, two othor coal bods have
been opened. They are reportod as
measuring two and a half and four
feet respectively, and occupy a posi
tion tower in the series than the lurgo
cam. (Vol. II., pages 482, 483, 634,

FROM 1-ROFeJhoN J01IN80B. '
Prof. W. R, Johnson.a distinguished
Chomist aud Goologist, made an ex
amination of tho minorals of Karthaus
and violnily in 1838 and reportod as
follows : .'.. . ,
Tho "Kidney Velrr'oro is fouud in
difforont parts of a bed, at an elevation
of 8441 foct abovo the lovol of tbo Sus
quohanna river. It is 11 foot in thick
noss, composed of forruginous and oar
bonaooous slate, with ronoform and
somo slratifiod portions of argillaceous
iron oro diffused through it, in all
amounting to 20 inchos of oro. This
oro bod bus a stratum of ooal one foot
thiok bolow, and another 8.16 foet
thick immediately abovo it. Tbo oro
is an argillaceous carbonate of iron, or
clay iron atono of tho minors. Its col
or is a bluish gray fracture splintery
and occasionally conchoidal the ex
torior of weathered specimens covered
with a coatof yellowish brown hydrate
of iron. '' '
It appears that the lowest yield of
VUU Ultf, UlbUUl Uli iUllhllUUa VI
Suns, is 34 g por cent, of pig iron, and
tho bighost 50 por cont. vory noarly ;
bonce, unloss extraordinary imporloo
lion exists In tho running of the fur
naco, the quantity of raw mine re
quired for the ton of pig metal ought
in no case to exceed three tons; and
it may probably be found that 2 tons
wilt often suffice for this purpose, es
pecially when a portion of the out
croping oro is mixed with tho more
solid parts. '
A more minute analysis of the cin
der and of tbo rosidum of tho coal, to
dotormino ibo best proportion of tho
difforont ores and the quantity of flux
necessary for thoir reduction, may
hereafter be requisite in order to tbo
economical conduct of manufactures.
Enough bowovor has been shown to
indicate the intrinsic valuo of tho ma
terials, the fitnoss of soveral of thorn
for making both forge and foundry
iron, and the cause of unsuitabloness
in others for tho liko employment.
Other varieties of oro than those al
ready named are known to exist in
tho neighborhood, and have boon form
erly employed in tho manufacture of
iron at llartbaus, wncn good lounary
metal was produced. On tho wholo, 1
see no reason to suppose that the pig
iron mado at thoso works will neces
sarily be less valuable than that pro
duced in other countrios, where coal
and iron occur in juxtaposition, and
whore immonse quantics of the best
force and ioundry iron are produce!
Exporiment has proved that bar
iron manufactured from vhite pig is
rather superior than otborwise to tbat
ainda from mottlod gray or black, if
tho whiteness bo not duo to noxious
ingredients. Somo of the most cele
brated varieties of bar iron in this
country are made from high iron. In
tho refining process, all pig metal as
sumes moro or loss tho stato of wbito
metal. In Europe, iron of this descrip
tion is converted into articles demand
ing the greatest tenacity.
A liberal but enlightened expondi
turo of capital in such a sitation can
hardly fail to meet an abundant re
ward. JSaluro has done all in bor
power to mako tbo situation favors
blo ; has bockoucd man to tbo ful
fillment of his part of the duty by
indications not to bo mistaken or dis
regarded. The advantages of Karthaus, as a
position for tbo manufacture of iron on
a large scale, aro chiefly found in the
abundanco of all the materials, and
thoir iramodinto proximity to each
othor, and to a stream which supplios
a compotont wator powor for driving
machinery. To rendor these circura
stances cfliciont and profitable, ad van
tago ought, as it appears to mo, to bo
takon of tho groat facilities which tho
height of tho ground ia which tho
minorals lie, aflordi lor carrying them
by tho more force of gravity to the
spot whore moy are to do usou.
FROM PROFE8SOR IIOTCIIK18S.
From a report dated Ang. 15tb,
1873. by Prof. Jed. llotcbkiss, Topo
graphical Enginoor and Goologist, of
Staunton, V a., tbo loiiowing is taken:
When iron was manufactured and
coal mined at Karthaus, they woro
sent to market in arks down the
West Branch of tho Susquehanna,
and thunco to tido-wator at Baltimore
and elscwhoro at a cost of four dollars
a ton ; and in that way considerable
quantities of those products reachod
market, altbongh the running season
did not averaeo moro than five or six
weeks in a year. Of this mothod of
transportation J'rol. Johnson stated
in 1838: "Thus it appears that propor
arrangements being mado, tho bitu
minous conl Hold oi tho groat Clear
field or West Branch basin will be
oponed to Now York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, the Valley of tho Missis
sippi and tho immonso regions bor
dering on the lakes. ' To all those
it can Bond railroad and other iron
from its own rolling mills."
The best railroad connection that
can bo mado from Karthans is by a
lino following tho West Branch to
tho low grade Philadelphia and Erie
at Keating, a distanco of twenty-one
milos with a grade of from six to
ton foot to tho milo. The cost of con
struction of a standard gungo road
by this routo nood not exceed (15,000
por milo, as thore aro no special difli
cullies in tho way, and it would
open a valuabla coal, iron, timbor
and agricultural rogion to market.
In fact the natural ohannol of com
munication for the whole Cloarliold
coal basin is by linos of railway down
tho West Branch and the Big Moshan
non, passing Karthaus, to the P. A E.,
as before stated, avoiding tho exceed
ingly heavy gradionts that aro on
countorod between - Pbilipsburg and
Tyrone in crossing tho Alleghany
mountain gradionts so great tbat a
locomotivo can only take over oigbt
loadod coal cars, and on which the
lilo of an ordinary rail is but six
months. Tbo great Pennsylvania
Central railroad his found it noces
sary to brine its main lino of trafllo
by 'the way "of Bonnolt's Branch to
tho Philadelphia and Erie, that it
may the more easily cross tho Alio
ghsnios and avoid the heavy grades
of its hitherto main lino by way of
Tyrone. The rapid development of
tho Clearfield coal rogion must load to
the construction of the railroads down
ttrtam to Keating, to the new main
line, for the same economic reasons.

The Prosidont has declared tbat ho
wilt not favor any flnanolal measure
opposed to the spirit of his veto mos
