holders, December, 1832.
[ln publishing the annual Report of ibe Dauphin
and Susquehanna Railroad and Coal Company, we
arc 'compelled, for want of roo6, to make tome
slight otn isticins.)*
The late organization of this Company renders it
imperative -that 'the present Board should star
nut to the - Brockbolders a details,' statement of
their views in relation to the value of the estate, its
present condition and future prospects.
On assuming the Mon of the trust confided to
them, they were aware that it required a vigorous
and united effort to develops so large an estate, end
would require much of their time and considel l s.
Lion. This they have not failed to give, and to mike
themselves acquainted with all the details•ol the
businessi. The immense area which this estate
covers, being about 2G miles long by G wide, mid
in the wildest state of nation, necessarily demanded
veers of the most vigorous efforts and industry}:.—
But, fortunately - , much has been accomplishedhy
our predecessors in office, and the estate ha ' beru
handed over to us in a state of improvement
.upou
which futon, results may be estimated and predic.
fed with some certainty: and upon which I-loci:hot.
ders may confidently rely.
First.—lts value.
-.• • .
This estate consist, of 43,000 acres of land, corn
mencing, on the east, at the Schuylkill County line,
and extending westward 26 miles to Dauphin, upon
the Susquehanna River and Pennsylvania Canal.
This principality of estate embraces the whole of
the south-eastern end of the tire be southern coal
field of Pennsylvania, and comprises a coal urea or
basin of upwards of ten thousand acres, to rich in
tout veins as any oilier part of the same coal field.
This coal field extends from near the Lehigh River,
at Mauch Chunk, to near the Sesqueharula at Dau
phin, • distance of about firt miles; 26 miles of
which belongs4o the Company. It is this field, iron
which has already been expended about Jereery
taglitont of dollar. to develope its resources, which
now pours forth daily its rich inexhaustible trea
aura% into the lap of commerce and trade.
There were transported from it last year, three
millions and upwards, of tuns. The basin upon the
Company's land averages about one mile and e
fount, in width, skirted by high moulitaine on mich
side, covered wills the most valuable timber, mid
dipping, from either side, towards the creme of the
basin; the coal reams running parallel with the
mountains, and gradually Hatteuing across the
centre of ' the basin. It is a striking and valuable
feature in this region, that the northern ridge of the
Fourth Mountain continues unbroken throughout
the property ; whilst the southern ridge, ur 'Amp
Mountain, furnishes gap( at such dedlincea apart as
give ample runs upon the veins.
The coal seams on the Lehigh aro (>1 a compact,
hard, white ash anthracite, and gradually change'
their character to a free bunting white and red ash
anthracite, until they reach the Dauphin estate.
where, imbibing-more and more of the vulutile 111.
gredients, they finally become iJitummoits upon it
thus giving to this estate the e reto.,tue avd peritliar
adra.tage, that upon it rs to be alLaitied every

Deter and properties of the coal, and ii, Ines haus!,

that there is no portion of the coal field where there
is a liner display of vem., in to mull a (listener

to found preeentinia more advantages, by reason of
its NMI, for economical working The mines of
ibis Company are ihe-nroregt to Tide- Water, and
by the red-road or the Company and its erinnec
lions already berth, the coal descends. the whole
way, from its place in the mores„ to Tide -water, end
enjoys more avenue, to market lhan any other por
tion of the coal field
Dur connection with the Penn.ylvanin Railroad

The Company has built and now enjoys a first

Sir:—Being here upon business and hav

possibility and non-possibility of tunneling
the Hoosac Mountain on the line of the Troy

visit the spot to satisfy myself in regardto a
matter of great interest to the world and
firmly believe that Massachusetts wills not

a machine that will excavate subterranean
passages from one mine to another. \

thrifty, and not a building along the Whole
line appears old or delapidated. Thrift

HISTORY OF KNIGHT'S DRILLING
NEW YORK, February I, I 8 y.
Mn. BANNAN promised to contribute to
your paper—it is before me and I see Raight's
Drilling Machine noticed.
During the Win er and Spring of IS-IS,
Mr. Bolles, of Providence, Rhode ;Island.
'and myself, were occupied 10 drilling th
East Boston Artesian Well, and whilst en
gaged in that .undertaking for the .East
ton Land Company, we adopted the eart-iron
jaws, frame and slide to elevate the drill. and.
were the first persons in the United States
to use hollow rods to force the drilled part,•
cies up, by means of a current of wafer from
the bottom of the hole to the surface. Our,
machine worked well to the' depthi of 3:!:";
feet, but could not find touch water": in the
clay slate, which underlieS the wholeof East
Boston on top of the primary work. Knight
visited our machine and learnt a little from
us. I sokrour my interest in a Caveat at the
Patent Office to Bolles, and Bolles :sold to
Knight, and Knight, having a inachitie-shop.
made other improvements, such as 4urtinvz
the drill, Arc.,
The Machine, as it now is, I think is the
hest in the United States, and I catVrecorn
mend it and believe it can be used io great
advantage in stoking Coal Shafts or ;in bot
ching for Coal. T. s. RIDGWAY.
