I must reply • distant day, permit me at re; _ 86;182 required of this Coal 'Field. At present I r. can only give you a few ,iinportant, facts, r which, however limited, i The Richmond Coal field crosses the James River, about 12 miles from tid e water. Its e width at this, point is About 5 miles, and . • . greatest depth not ovee 1000 lest perendien. 1. lar. Its angle of depression ott the 'Western I dip, or Easterteoutcroe, is at this point a b out 30 degreet-'.4hough at otherplsces it ext ea d a v - 45°. The Eastern dip is generally mom abrupt. d The greatest extenfof this field is about 50 miles long be- 8 miles wide. But the pro doeiis4 ar ea for one hundred years. to come, will not exceed 30 miles in length Ity 6 • miles iii width, and the available coal which thi*extent contains may he set down lin . round numbers at 1,00 ~ 000,000 of tons, or 10,000.000 tons of gas coal per year, exche sine of a large amount of coal, which will make the best of fuid.by,compression. There are 4 seams , of coal and ~ene of • ' nature/ cola of the best quality, to h er found in the District of the- Atekahoe creek, which lies on the Northern portion of the main ' I I field or body of coal, where the formation is divided into smaller basins, which may be il, represented by the hand being laid' ho its' 1 back, the thumb to the East—poititing off, I course, to the North. The thumb will rapt's i sent the "Deep Run" basins. branching of • frinn the main basin, at its junction with the T.Ackaboe, a mile or more North of the. James River. .The Tockahoe basin being represented by the first nod third fingers of the band, is very extensive, and is nearly a mile Wide neat its upper,end, five miles north of the river, and from 500 to 700 feet deep in its centre. ( The bottom vein, which lies cn the gratite , i has n,ot been suffitiently developed at this 'i point, to'enable me to judge of WI size and character, But on - the South side of the e rivet-, it is . extensively worked, and found to vary from 10 to 60 feetin thickness. Its 'coal llis extremely gaseous and inflammable, 'and 1 generally hard 'end pure. 1 The second seam on the Tucleahoe, ranges from 6 to 10 feet in thickness, and lies some hundred feet above the granite. This coal o iiconsidered when clean, the best coal in this ~ r cduntry for gas purposes. But it is lunch , divided by slaty bands, and herebifore no care 'has been taken to ship it in good order.— It Preperaticaui are now being made however, I to send it pore to market, when it will super. a, cede all 'other Lode for gas. n The third seam or vein, averages abono feet of pure coa l; hard, bright and beauqfa as diamond ~and, and almost resembling audits ..t._ il ,cite.. This coal is known to be unequaled 'as it , steamboat and grate coal. But I do Dot o know its properties for gas, thottglel Eire so I dinabt it would be extremely effective. 1 The fourth seam ranges from sjo f feet It lin thickness. It is a pure coal mild easily Sworked, but not so bard, as the lower veics. I it , It is a good smith and forge coal, and at the k 1 depth of 300 feet perpendicular, it is fit for -almost any-purpose to which the second seam P l wilkapply.. e I , I consider the Tuckaboe portions of ties I 1 Richmond coal field, at • present the most ,cis -0 1 storable for mining opecrations. In tho first place, the James river and KaraawloCca. • nal cross . the Tnckaboe at its month, sad l' a reilroad extends op its length in the CO. t f , tre of the Basin, thus-opening it up'in the' most effective manner. • And in the second II place the veins here are more accessible than in any other portion, and at the same time is they contain every randy (tool nor de manded by consumers, which is not gesersl ly the case, u I will explein• by add by. 0 In addition. to theabove fetts, as been-a r stated, an excellent- vein of Wirral coke is a here found and extensively worked, This n form tion may be truly denominated a local phen mona--as it no where else exists, a nd I thew y and because cannot be positively ex. )1 plisined..;" - e The proprietors, or their agent, J. J. Werth, r. Esq., explains the causes in s very natural manner which indeed is suggested by the effects, as the coke Is nowhere found where % the producing agency, thus explained, do not ' also exist. a ' .Where the coal lies deep, no coke is towel, but where the veins ascend to a tertaie depth above Water level, the upper and rola see t red: seams becothe coked, but is no ease;orlstre a the covering rock, which is elsewhere sand. til stone. is not changed into whisadose. But, 0 as there appears to be , no local erase of a Basaltic formation, we must infer that the t chin is the effects of the coal, as !store pro al b . able, than that the coke should be the effects a of the trap or whin. Yet here is a paradox, a for one is evidently the. effect of the other, 'and however interesting such p . benomona may n fie to the scientific, one fact is plain to the r, observer and particularly interesting to the 1 propriejors. This coke is equal to anthrs n cite or almost, if not every purpose. 14 which the latter fuel is now applied. It it 3 easily mined, and commands a ready saie and II a good price—and being local, there is na e opposition. The principal operators in the Turkshoe to o District, are .1. J.
