VVMIIRE AND HOW IT I MINED INTEREST-
1NOI.V TOLD.
On of th Most Etcellent Coat Bed In th
World Lie In Jefferson County.
Colli Trade .Iniu nnl.l
The coals from tho Reynoldsville re
gion of Jefferson county are no well and
favorably known, and havo been for
the last quarter of a century, by those
ngaged In the coat trade, that they
need no commendation.
The ready salo and the steady in
crease In production of these celebrated
coals are ample proof of their merits.
It Is admitted by intelligent coal men
hat they are hardly excelled by any of
the other coal In the market today
for steam generating purposes and for
manufacture of gas and coke, although
n the manufacture of coke, of course,
an exception is made in the Connulls-
vllle coking coal. The seam from which
these coals are taken is known a bed
D or Lower Freeport seam. This seam
covers a large area both In Jefferson
and Clearfield counties, which has been
developed very extensively In the old
Clearfield district and around DuBols
and Punxsutawncy. but we shall on this
occasion write only of the Reynoldsville
field.
Aside from the DnRnls and Punxsu-
tawney regions, and the Clearfield dis-
rlct of the past, it Is here wo find this
excellent coalbed in its best condition
as to quality, thickness and freedom
from local disturbances, such a clay
veins, rock rolls and dislocations;
however faults are not entirely wanting
hore. At some points In this region
this seam has boon found to meas
ure nlno feet In thickness. It I
divided into three benches. About
nine inches from the floor of the seam
there Is a slate parting or Ream about
ono Inch thick, then tho main bench Is
about five feet threw i tidier; these two
benches are merchantable coal; then
there is the "top coal" which runs from
nine Inches to as high as three feet In
thickness, hut owing to Its impurity It
is left up, which makes a good roof to
the mlno where it Is of the extreme
thickness mentioned. The coals from
this scam are much purer than those
taken from its companion, the Upper
Freeport. Its lustre Is not a bright a
that of the Upper Freeport. but It I
more friable. The coal ha a columnar
structure, which Is not the case with
the upper seam, which Is located only
fifty to sixty feet above It, thus show
Ing, no doubt, that the agency at work
during It formation period must have
been much more intense and the nat
ural fostes somewhat differently di
rected.
Wherever this seam has been devel
oped outside tho regions mentioned,
with exceptional places of small area In
Western Pennsylvania U has proven to
be almost worthless from an enconomio
point of view. It has been found to be
very unreliable, irregular in thickness
and much disturbed. This seam has a
varying dip to the southeast, which will
average about two per cent. It crops
out to the surface, hence the mines here
are all drift openings. Tho seam ii
easy of access, it can bo opened and do
veloed at a trilling expense. There
are seven mines in operation about
Reynoldsvillo, having a dally prod no
tlon of about 7,(100 short, tons, run-of
mlno coal, and l,,r00 to 1,(100 porson
are employed In and about them. ' Five
of these mines are operated by the
Jefferson & Clearfield Coal & Iron com
pany. Knowing ones Inform mo that
these five mines are the property of the
heavy stockholder of the B., R. & P.
railroad. This ooal company controls
in fee simple 6,000 or 7,000 acre of tho
best coal territory in the neighborhood,
and I am Informed that the coal right
were bought at an extremely low figure
The mine are reached by the Reynolds
ville & Falls Crock railroad.
It I in this region that we find one of
the largest mine in the bituminous re
gion of Pennsylvania, known a Soldier
Run. It la operated by the Jefferson &
Clearfield Coal &. Iron company. We
have no doubt that a million short ton
of run-of-mlne coul will be produced
from this mlno this year. It ha an
average dally production of 4,1200 ton
and there are employed In and about It
over one thousand persons. The whole
plant has been conveniently arranged.
substantially constructed and all built
with the view to an eeonomlo produc
tion oi tuu coal, which no been real'
Ized, no doubt.

fathom meter.
Fathom meter is tho name given to
an Instrument recently perfected, for
telling the exact dephth of water be
neath a vessel at any given time at a
moment's notice. The fathom moter is
circular In form, and in tho center Is
a suspended circle, whleh Is set In gim
bals, after tho fashion nf an ordinary
sea compass. This circle has a frame
of glass and Is graduated Into half de
gree and fathoms, which are pointed
out by an Indicator. In the center, and
running clear across, Is a small magnet.
Connected with the Instrument is a pri
mary cell, from which a sufficient cur
rent can bo obtained when It Is desired
to energize the magnet. The earth be
ing also a magnet. It magnetism, or
zero, Is obtained, and when the Instru
ment Is properly adjusted and the cir
cuit I closed an observation taken
from It on board of a moving ship shows
Immediately the difference of the
earth's magnetUm at that point. The
principal upon whleh the inventor
worked was, that, as the earth is a
magnet, with another smaller magnet
In the Instrument the indicator would
point out und register on the dial the
exact distance which thorn may be at
that moment between tho greater und
lesser magnet, evidently tho exact
depth of water under the vessel. The
entire apparatus does not. occupy moro
space than an ordinary typewriter. In
regard to submerged wrecks and similar
dangers the inventor claims that his
Instrument, by Indicating the depth of
water at a moments notice, will give
timely warnings of such dangers and
will enable captains to avoid them.
