There is no other coal basin so near Buffalo and Rochester. as the, one underlaying and enriching the countimi Cif McKean, Elk and Cameron; land it is aniiniportant fact, not to be overlooked, that this Coal can be reached by a rrilroad not expeesike to build, and that ,will forever hold an advantage by reason of its light grades. , [. , _..- I repeat that these , coal deposits occur at different points on the lioe of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, both miStgiand west of Em porium for fifty milts, andllthey extend south into the Interior of Pennsylvania 'for an indef. finite distance. You Ivill (comprehend from the facts I have furnished; why I am justified in assuring you that the !supply of coal is abundant enough to last forever, and meet all demands. In support of this assurance I re spectfully refer you to col; 2d, ppge 4G5 Geol ogy of Pennsylvania, wherein Professor Rog ers, State Geologist; says, "all the bituminous coal measures northwest of the Allegbany Mountains,with the north end of the Cumber land Basin,comprises an, area of twelve thous and twohundred and twentyo square railed." 1 will barely add that it is ore of the large ba sins composing this vast area that has been opened by the-coal mines I have mentioned. To the inhabitants of Buffalo the introduc tion of this coal will be a blessing. Fuel is as necessary as Bread. , They' Who shall be instrumental in opening the way for a steady' supply will deserve thanks as, public benefac- , tors. 1 ' I The foregoidg letter sbowv conclusively] ,i that there is an abundance of coal at or near' 1 the terminus' of the Buffalo and Washington , 1, , i Railway at.

I I 1' I 1 Ig the of:course eAminitti---'---,ntly .d Aiorts recently made - on a track !that lays 4n part within this coal basin, I had opportunity to,become intimately acquainted with -its charaCteri and capacity for coal production. , These examinations consisted of drilling wells,down from the tops . 9f the ridges entire ly through the coal tneasur,es,ttins cutting nil ithe veins in succes'sion,in sinking shafts upon them at various points, and oi+aing drift's on theni in the faces of the bills. One of the W • ellS passed thrOugh 21 feet' 4 inchesof coal in sixiworkahle veins,as follows: At 41 fVet down, 2 fee, 10 inches ',coal; at ' 49 feet, 3 feet 1 inch coal:: at'B7 feet, 2 feet 2 inches coal; at 114 feet, , 3 feet 2 inches coal; at 132 feet, 5 feet '9 inches coal, and at 154 feet. 4 feet 4 inches coal. I ' Two of Ilse three foot veins were also ex posed by shafting them; and drifts were pat in on 2 feet 10 inch vein and on the 4 feet 4 inch vein: The Utter measures in the drift 4feet 11 ;Inches.lThlS vein has been cut at three different points on a red of about three fourths of a mile and gives 4f.110in., 4f. llha., and 4f. 4in. ! The total thickness of coal cut in.tbis basin, (7 yds)•Will give 28,000 tons of cold to each acre,underlaid with it. It is therefote evident that, so far as thickness is concerned,itis am ple. The only question IS tis to its extent. The examinations yet made do not enable me to say with certainty *hat extent of ground is :underlaid with all th4e veins, or even a i l majority of them but most otthemundoubt edly exist under bn area; of severaLthousand Enoughacres. known to prove that there product quo be can be counted by millions of tons,and thatfor all ptactilUal purposes the - suppy bine#austable. ,- , •' - • As, to the quality of thei coal—it can be said that it of the very heSt, , breinarkable free 4 frcithilth±huntrid igliAurt•bstftra fcirblackreath use.; It . • Ribes - been tested for locomotive fuel on the,liew York Central R,rilroad,and propotf ced'OuPerior to the Erie coal. It yieldiN 56 cubic feet of gas perlpound of very,-superior quality. Some of the veins cake very, freely while others, especially the largest vein,makes a light °pet' fire, cakes but slightly, it is an admirable coal for domestic use, and would in all probability prove good for the smelting furiace. With an ample supply of such fuel within 100:miles of Buffalo', it would seem that the citizens of that place should not be long in reaOling it Certainly nothing eould be more ben'eficial to their manufacturing and commer dial'intereEs, nor of greater profit to the road that carries it At the existing high rates of labor and ma terials of all khads,coal from these mines could be placed in the cars at a cost in no event ex ceeding $1 50 per ton. Can there be any ilotibt,tbat so long as the ratriing and freight are 'at auch, a figure, the MIEN.° market would take 200.000 tons per annum at 6 50 per ton. ' This would give a clear profit of $400,000 per annum op the coal alone. and would also furnish an income to yoUr road; from Larabees to Buffalo,of $480,- 000 a sum sufficient, after deducting 60 per, cent furl working expenses to pay over 't per cent interest on the total cost of those 80 miles even though its cost be as high as two and a half miller's. - I Ther4 . s 1, another view of this 'matter that may be of Importance to your enterprise : A co. titivation of this branch road beyond the' coal mines 22 miles will reach {he Phila. delphia &Erie Railroad at Rane, the entire didtance being along an unbroken l ridge on which no heavy grades will be repiired using 16 miles of the P. St E..R. R. west of Rane,tbe Tionesta Creek is reached at Sheffield. Bawl' the Tioneta, a very: favorable. route can be obtained to the Allegheny River,thence down it to the mouth of 'Pith°le l and up to the oil wells, the distance from P. is E. It. It. if 37 miles making the entire line frOm Buffalo to Pittdzle wells 175 miles; with a! coal field upon the route." Buffalo is very little mere than one hundred miles from an immense coal field, Which will be reached by the Buffalo and Nyashington Railway' It, in connection with ' the Phila delphia ; l irib Erie Railway penetrates the an thracite coal measures, in the Shamokin Val ley, in the vicinity of Sunbury'. The. distance by thi" railway from Buffalo to the bituminous coal deposits will not vary much fom that of the Pennsylvana coal fields from rie, or the Ohio coal fields from Cleveland,' and by it the anthracite Coal beds are brought nearer to Buffalo than by any other, rou'•of commu nication eit.hor by rail or water, o 1 both com bined. The course of this line ofrailway from Buf falo to Emporium is very direct,ollowing the vaileys, which all run in nealy.the same di rection. The grade line are all favorable for the trade. The demand for "supplying the gas companies at the East,and that oißuffalo for domestic and manufaturing purposes, can be more cheaply:furnished from the mines pen etrated py the B. W'n Railway than from Cleveland or Brie, as the margin, of lake freights from those ports to Buffalo would be against them. The wants of tt.e West can be supplied from Buffalo at cheaper prides i for the anthracite, and at as cheap or chTer prices than from Cleveland or Erie for thelbittimin ous coal. Buffalo being the western terminus of the Erie Canal receiving between fifty, and sixty per cent of the surplus products Of n the West and northwest, moved Eastward to market, has and extensive lake commerce,) but not an evenly balanced trade as the large fleets of -vessels arriving from the West come with ful ly laden cargoes, and three-fourths of them return with none. The coal will Isupply this deficiency in the ballanee of trade. The Buffalo Board of Trade regort for 1864 states : that during the navigation season for that year 6,958 vessels of all clasSess arrived at Buffalo, having atonnage 0f3,i31,767 tons and 7,147 vessels cleared havingia tonage of 3,450,58 f tons. For want of return cargoes many of these vessels go to Erie or Cleveland fbr coal, sailing 100 to 150 miles !off their di rect caurse for the upper lakes and by so stro ing frequently lasing a favorableiwind and a consequent loss;of a trip or more during the season of naviglitiori. Allivessel owners having vossfls engaged in the trade between Buffalo andkvestern lake ports/would much prefer to takelcoal cargoes from Buffalo even at a less pride than from Erie or Cleveland. Taking these facts into consideration it is evident that the West can be supplied with coal from Buffalo of both varieties on equal if not better! terms than from Cleveland or Erie, The weekly shipments of coaljfrom Cleve land have for several weeks (including July mt August,. and September) avaged tett to twelve thousand tons, and Erie 4arly as mtich more, and this is mainly carricil by Vessels from Buffalo, bound to western peas,— Erie and Cleveland are not plitces of much commercial. importance aside fiorn their coal shipments, and vessels on their s return only go there for ballast, from necessity, and if that necessity could be suppliedat buffalo they would not go there. ; From the feats hereitbefore etl forth, the following conclusions are petifiently deduci ble , 1. There is an ample supply'of bituminous coal at the terminus of the Buffalo and Wsah ington Railway, at or very nenr Emporium, only 113 miles from Buffalo. • 2d. That when the Branch road is built to the Bunker Hill Coalmines, an additional supply of coal will be furnished for market, which will pass over 80 miles of this railway to Buffalo. 3d. That theAntbraciteCoalnearSunbury, in the Shamokin' alley, is by the Buffalo and Waalaingtoni and Philadelphia and Erie Rail waYsr nearer to Buffalo either by, rail or_wa.• ter, 'or both combined, than anyother anthra: cite; coal deposit. ' 4th. The demand' for coal 'at Buffalo for doniestic use and manufacturing purposes, for supplying thei commercial steam- marine and, the railway engines,and fOr theshipment East and West cdn be more cheaply furnished than from any other point. sth.. The opening up of this region of corm try by :a railway connection with •Buffalo,will be of untold benefit to the ma,nufacturea,trade and'consoseics o( this. It'-will make an additfonal inifireriatenWyingrthe mining diitricts 'with breadstuffs and provisions, arid in ,return will make .a market' for the coal mined and tbe lumber mannfactur,ed:" 6th. it - will form another. impOriant link connecting, the commerce of the Lakia , ..with that of the Ocean, affording a direct route to Philadelphia Baltimore and washington! With these superior advantages for freight . , and passengers to and front three large sea board cities, with an inexhaustible supply of coal, and the ability to furnish it to both the East and the West cheaper thon any other point, this road bids fair to be one of the best paying railroads in the country. Had such important considerations been presented to the citizens of Chicago,Cincinnoti orMilwan kee affecting the growth and welfare of their respective cities, the means to build the road would hive been, raised in an evening or at an hlurs meeting on 'change,' Baffalo has waitrid and continued to "wait for something to turn up.„ While _she has been waiting the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad has been completed to secure a portion of the Western trade for that road. There hare been two cargoes of Anthracite coal recently received here from the Shamokin Valley,via Erie while the same coal is considerably nearer to Buffa. lo than it is to Erie. Buffalo for want of the improvement of the facilities incident to her position is annually paying a bonus in the angmented)cost of the fnel consumed, equal to $400,000, which if continued for five years will amount to a sum equal to the ,cost of building and equiping this road.
