THE INDIANA COAL FIELD.

WRITTEN FOR THE INDIANAPOLIS JOUR'

n'tOsAI. BY R. T.BROWN/

'.}

NUMBER IV.

While the block coal, to which the preceding numbers of this series have been devoted, constitutes the chief excellence and the distinctive feature of our coal field, yet we have an abundance of coal other than this, many beds of which will compare favorably with bituminous coals in any country. About .sixty feet above the block coal occurs the next bed. In various places in Fountain and Parke counties, this coal is well developed, though generally it is unreliable. At the mouth of Coal Creek, in Fountain county, it lies a little above low water mark in the Wabash river, and is seen for the distance of a mile or more alone the river bank. It Is about three feet thick, and is distinguished everywhere by a roof of black bituminous limestone from two to three feet thick.

In quality, the coal from, this bed re sembles closely Pomeroy coal from Ohio. It breaks into cubes, or square blocks, is hard and heavier than any other Western coal. It burns with a large volume of black smoke, softens and cakes considerably, makes a very intense heat, bnt does not diffuse its heat by flame like the block coal. It cokes well, and I think good gas coal may be obtained from this bed Three miles east of Rockville, in Parke county, at Boyd's and Campbell's "banks," the first display, and best quality of this coal that I have seen in the State, found. These "banks" have been worked for more than thirty years, and have furnished the principal part of the coal con sumed in Kockville and the surrounding country.

The great objection to this bed is a want of uniformity, both in quantity and quality of coal, as well as in the persist" ence of the bed. Frequently the limestone roof is found complete and perfect, with a* bed of block bituminous clay re placing the coal, either in whole or in part. Sometimes the place'of the coal is occupied by amass of coal fragments, petrified remains of plants, and a large admixture of iron sulphid. Over large districts it often occurs that no mark can be found to indicate this bed of coal, nor the place where it should be found. In estimating our coal I have not thought it safe to give this bed more than one-third of its surface value. I gave this bed the place of No. 2 in my report of 1854, but I observe that Professor Lesqueraux makes it an upper member of No. 1, but as I have never found it consolidated with the other members of No. 1, nor approaching nearer to them than about sixty feet, I prefer to regard it as a distinct bed, and call it No. 2.

About fifty feet above the last described bed lies No. 3. This is a thin bed, seldom reaching two feet in thicknes, but is very uniform and persistent, both in qnality of coal and thickness of bed. In its roof as well as in many other particulars, it resembles No. 1 the roof being a finely laminated bitumions shale.— Though this shale there often runs a seam of from four to ten inches of canel coal, generally slaty in its character, though sometimes it is found found very perfect. The entire shale roof, frequently five or six feet thick, is so highly charged with oil as to burn with a brilliant flame when put on the fire.

A few years hence, when the great petroleum resorvoirs of Pennsylvania shall be exhausted, this shale, and also that forming the roof of coal bed No. 1, will be used in the distillation of oil. Much of this shale will yield a barrel of oil per ton.

The quality of coal from No. 3 is intermediate between the dry burning coal of No. J, and the fat bituminous coals 'rom our other beds. It seldom softens enough, in burning, to cake, or adhere in a mass. It is a much more compact coal than No. 1, burns with less flame, makes a more intense and less diffusive heat, and leaves but little ash and no cinders. In reducing very stubborn ores, it may be mixed with the No. I to advantage.—

It is usually very clear of sulphur or other injurious impurities, and but for the fact that the average thickness of the bed is but about twenty inches, it would be one of our most valuable coals. A bed of that thickness, however, at the present price of coal, will hardly be mined to any considerable extent.

Twelve or fifteen feet above this thin bed lies what may be regarded as the main coal of our series. This is the No. 4. Its average thickness, in the northern section of onr coal field, is about six feet, though it often reaches eight feet, clear coal, and at one point on Coal Creek in Fountain county, it measures fully ten feet. No. 4 is a compound bed made of three members, usually separated by clay partings of about half an inch. Sometimes, however, these members diverge so as to have twenty or thirty feet of sandstone or shale between them. But when they are united so as to form only one bed, they preserve their separate characteristics in distinct coals. The upper member is a hard, dry coal, softening but little in burning, throwing off a dense volume of smoke, and leaving rather a heavy deposit of soot in the flues. It is a coal of high heating value, and thongh it leaves considerable ashes and some cinders, yet it is of high value as a steam producing coal.

The middle member is a softer coal, and of a glossy black appearance, and burns with numerous gas jets, softens much and is often disposed to run into a semi-fluid mass, so as to choke the draft of air, and thus materially interfere with the progress of combustion. The lower member is very irregular and uncertain in its character. Frequently it is so foul with iron sulphid as 10 be scarcely worth mining, while again it is even superior in quality to the middle member. The relative thickness of these several memlers varies much, but usually the upper member is the* thickest, and the remaining two nearly of equal thickness. Some times, however, the middle member is equal in thickness to both the others, and rarely the bottom coal eqnalseither of the others in thickness. The upper and middle beds should be 'mined together, as they are improved by being mixed but cominonlv it will be better to sell the

lower member at a rfeduced rate bj

the other beds of Indiana, s^nd thongh in quality it is inferior to the block coal, yet for steam purposes an^ fot wj^isming by furnaces or close stoves it is of inestimable valne. Above No. 4 there ocCdrs, towards the southwestern part of the State, several thin beds of but little value. At Evansville, however*, a coal bed is reiched by a shaft 170 feet deep. The bed Is about five feet thick1,,and'the coal a soft fat burning coal, tint in good repute among steamboat men. f" ,,ni
