THE PITTSBURG ' DISPATCH. "WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1890. NEW FINDS OF COAL Railroad Surveys in West Virginia Unearth Manv Rich Veins. CAPITAL EUbHLNG TO THE FIELD. Several Hen Are Injured in an Explosion of a Dynamite Stick. MIXOE KEffS FEOM THE THREE STATES rSPECIAI. TELEORJLM TO TBI DtSrATCH.1 Charleston, Dec 16. A Terj- strikinj: illustration ot the mineral wealth of "West "Virginia is afforded in recent discoveries by railroad engineers runninc a line tnrouch Boone county. On the face of a mountain on the Pond Pork of Coal river, where but two veins of coal were supposed to exist, the engineers developed the outcrop of no less than 11 veins, ranginc from 2 leet 7 inches to 20 feet in thickness, and aggregating GS feet 11 inches. One vein is pure cannel coal 42 inches thick, another has 31 inches of pure cannel coal, overlaid with splint coal, and another vein of bituminous coal is 20 feet thick, with two feeet of "parting" seven feet from the bottom. This gigantic seam thus presents 18 feet of clear solid coal, of the best quality. Railroad engineers, in crossing, and re crossing the mountains of this State, during the past year or two, have done much to demonstrate the practical value of the great coal fields or West Virginia. They have lately traced the Pocahontas field of coking coal from the head of Guyan river, it here it a supposed to end. across Indian Ridge to Pin nacle, Otter and Barker, across all the forks of Gujan river, through "Wyoming county, across into Raleigh, and following the Piney valley through Fajette county into tbe familiar Xew riTer coal conntrv. Ihronch this entire section there are from two to five workable veins of coal, one of them 10 feet tlrck. In some places the dip a little below the water level, bat the outcropping?, as a general thine, are to be seen on me mountain sides. "There 1$ one thing abont this Pocahontas cokimr field." said an engineer to your corre spondent, hich, until recently, seems to have been generally overlooked, bnt which gives it incalculable value and that is its proximity to the iron ore fields of Vireinia. The Pocahontas coking coal field, extending from AVebster and Nicholas counties. W. Va., to Tazewell and Jlusell counties, in Virginia, Is the only field of coking coal of anv size in the United States, outsiue of Concellsville, Pa. On tins field not only does the fconth draw, but the West and fconthwest." Immense tracts of coal and timber land are being bought up by capitalists. A short time kins; Irish count, and have already completed a railroad survey The Chesapeake and Ohio Kailroad Companj has also bought large tracts, and Las an engineering corps out, laying down a new railroad line Ihe Baltimore and Ohio people are also endeavoring to get a share of this undeveloped wealth, and have purchased 76,000 acres ot coal lands from ex-Senator J. N. Cjindeu. The syndicate represented by James G. Blaine, fcenator Gorman, ex-benator Henry G Davis, and others, have also made large pur chases, and mauy smaller purchases of 10,000 and 20,000-acre tracts are constantly being made throughout the coal and timber regions of the htate.
