INDIANA'S MINERALS.

State Geological Survey—Report of Progress for 1870, by Prof. E. T. Cox, State Geologist—New Developments in

Indiana Cosil—Iron-Making Fuel Found Below the Block Coal Seam. To the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune:

SIR The surveys of Indiana were made by direction of the Legislature, in 1837 and 1838, by Dr. David Dale Owen. His reports, though not extensive, were interesting and valuable, and gave to the world a general, though not a full, knowledge of the geology of the State. After an interval of twenty years, during which little was done, the survey was for a time resumed, under the charge of Prof. Richard Owen, his brother, the previous director having died in the interval. Further delays and interruptions, probably due to the outbreak of the war, again checked the progress of the work until some three years since, when it was once more taken up, and committed to Prof. E. T. Cox, formerly engaged on the survey of Kentucky.

The present report forms a neat octavo volume of some 300 pages. The first half consists ot Prof. Cox's own record of observations and work during the year, and is almost wholly concerned with the southwestern corner Of the State, in which the coal occurs. Then follows a brief, but highly interesting paper, also by Prof. Cox, on the Western coal beds in general, with particular reference to those of Indiana. This paper was read by its author before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, at the Indianapolis meeting in August last. The second half of the volume is occupied by two reports of assistants on the survey, that of Prof. Collett on the geology of Sullivan county, and that of Mr. A. H. Young, of Hanover College, on the Botany of Jefferson county. Elaborate indices ard found at the close of the book. The geological relations of the State of Indiana may be briefly stated as follows: The coal of North America lies principally in two immense. .basins, known as the Appalachian, and tbe Western or Illinois coal fields. The first extends from the weste.rn base of the Alleghanies, over much of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, over eastern Ohio and Kentucky, down into Tennessee and even Alabama. The second spreads from Western Indiana and Kentucky, over the greater part of Illinois, covers much of Iowa and Missouri, and stretches down across Arkansas and into Texas. These two great areas are separated in western

Ohio and central Kentucky by what is' known to geologists as an axis of eleva* tion, which passes through the region from Nashville to Cincinnati, and sinks away northward toward Cleveland. This elevation marks the position of an ancient island, which lay between the vast areas of marsh and bayou in which the coal vegetation flourished in the carboniferous age. With this explanation in mind, we can now trace the relation of the Indiana coal beds to the rest of the country. On the southeastern border of the State is the "blue limestone" of the old island, Lower Silurian, then above this, on the west, comes a belt of Upper Silurian limestone then a broad stretch of Devonian rocks, then the carboniferous limestone, aud beyond and above that, tbe coal. The coal covers the southwest quarter of the State, in an area limited by a line curving east and south from the vicinity of Williamsport on the Wabash to Rome on the Ohio.

It is with this portion of the State, which has the greatest economic importance, that the present record is almost entirely concerned. Especially valuable are the recent discoveries of the so-called block coal, which has such remarkable smelting properties, and which has already, within a very short time, awakened an active iron industry at many points in the southern part of the State. Prof. Cox describes the. coal region, of Indiana, as divisible into two distinct regions. One of these consists of a border, some three miles wide, aloug the eastern side of the coal basin, from the Ohio River to tbe Illinois line. As this outcrop is about 150 miles long, its total area is some 450 square miles. This is now the celebrated block coal district. The western portion, comprising all the rest of the coal-beds in the State, covers some 6,000 square miles, and yields what is known as coKing coal," which softens into & p&Btv mass in the furnace, and hence cannot be used for irou-making until it has heen heated so as to expel much of the bituminous and volatile matter, and has thus beeu changed into coke.

Whether the bordering zone of the block coal extends much itito Illinois and Kentucky, is a matter on which geologists hesitate to expresd opinions. The great importance 5^?$ fuel lies partly in its singular pOTity, and partly in the fact that it is|^:ir#fee-6«rnirig" coal, not caking into ftmass, and hence it may be used in. the iron furnace without any preparatory treatment. The name "block coal" is giveti it frbqi its peculiar mode of breaking iato cleao blocks or masses. Th&, beams bi^layet? are traversed by systems of^ar&IIel or fissures crossing each other ,nearly at right angles. The material,1 therefore, to reidily taken out in &<^re pieced 6f the thickness of the seam, leavinga,n angular

zigzag edge where it had been removed, which looks, as Professor Cox says, like a ^Virginia worm fence. The block coal isfcyery. finely aud evenly laminated, ana is singularly freejfroin impurities, especially fitim the much-dreaded admixture of.sulphjar or phosphorus, so very detrimental in iron-making. Until lately, this valuable fuel was supposed to be eoufined to a small area in Clay county. But the survey has

now

shown ,thait, to

far is this from being the case, many localities of it are found in a region that extends like a narrow belt around the general' area of Jihte coal field. It has been ascertained,, moreover, since the Uaue'of last year's report, that the original "Brazil seam" of block coal is under1 iid, not only by a second seam, as was then proved, but

also

by a third. Ihese

very important discoveries of Prof. Cox will doubtless, of themselves, repay, in one or two years, the entire expense of the survey.

Coal of a like character was first found in this country some years ago

western edge of the

tl?e

Appalachian

field, in

the Mahoning Valley, Ohio. The survey now in progress in that State, under charge of Prof. Newberry, has developed much valuable information respecting this fuel. It is found, in a similar manner, on the outside rim of the coal-field, and occurs as the lowest seam at a number of points in northeastern Ohio. It comes out in blocks like the Indiana deposit, has the same remarkable freedom from sulphur, and,acts in the same way in the furnace, burning clear and open until it is quite consumed. As a natural result, it has been the means of awakening much activity in the manufacture of iron in that part of Ohio. In the western field this block coal was first mined nea,r the town of Brazil, in Clay county, Indiana. Before the survey had been resumed under Prof. Cox, an important iron industry had sprung up in that vicinity, and five well-constructed "hot blast" lurnaces were in operation in Clay county. These were, the Brazil Furnace, which began work, or "blew in," as the technical phrase is, in December, 1867 two owned by the Western Iron Co., aud the Planet and LaFayette Furnaces. These five iron-works used each day 300 tuns of block coal, 150 tuns of ore from Luke Superior and Iron Mountain, Mo., and 50 tons of limestone as flux. Their daily yield was 110 tons of pig iron, worth $40 a ton. During the past year the progress that was hoped for has been somewhat checked by a miners' strike. The stagnation thus caused, however, enabled the iron-makers to. go out of blast for a time, and alter and improve their works in many respects. At Terre Haute, a very fine new work, the Vigo Blast Furnace, has been built during the year. There is little question that in Indiana, as likewise in Ohio, a great manufacturing interest of the kind will soon grow up alLovBr the regions that are favorably situated in regard to the coal. In the manufacture of iron the ore must be brought to the coal, rather than the coal to the ore. The heavier material, occupying less bulk, can be more cheaply transported than tbe lighter. The ores that are used in these Indiana furnaces are mainly the hematites from Lake Superior and from the Iron Mountain of

Missouri. These generally need to be mingled with the limonite ores, or "brown hematites," which contain a certain amount of water. Such are tbe ores of the Cumberland River iron district in Kentucky and Tennessee, and also a good many scattered deposits in Indiana itself. These "hydrated" ores are found in isolated beds or "pockets," and occur mainly at the top of the sub-carbonifer-ous limestone, which underlies the coal, and crops out around it, as has been said, in an outer belt some 20 miles wide.

There are various other useful deposits, such as mineral paint, clays, building stone, etc., found in southwest Indiana. Prof. Cox furnishes tabular sections, analyses, and suggestions of value. It is to be hoped that the publication of these scientific reports in so many of our States will not only aid in developing unemployed resources and guard against ignorant and unprofitable enterprises, but also to-tend to prevent and repair the negligent waste which forgets the future in its eagerness to seize the present. Especially is caution needful in regard to our forest timber. Southern Indiana is the region whence tbe finest quality of black walnut wood is brought to the markets of New York. This tree does not form forests, but grows mainly alone, or in groups, along the river bottoms of the Ohio Valley. From its excellent quality as timber, a,s well as from its beauty in ornamental work, it is ever in great demand for both the rudest and the choicest purposes and thus there is estpecial danger that, this valuable tree, though still found in abundance, will, in the course of time,. become scarce and expensive. Interesting accounts aije given of several mineral springs in Southern Indiana, which would seem to be rapidly growing into places of resort for health and pleasure. These are the Indian and Trinity Springs, in Martin county, and those at French Lick and West Baden, in Orange county. These waters all come from the same geological horizon, the junction of carboniferous limestone with the overlying conglomerate which forms the bed of the coal measures. The sojid contents in a gallon vary from 136 to 875 grains. The principal Saratoga waters have nearly double the average of these amounts but the difference is mainly due to ordinary salt. The Indiana waters have little salt, but they all contain a good proportion of carbonate and sulphate of magnesia, and in the case of thfe Indian Springs, sulphate of iron, while they seem all to have some carbonate of potash, an ingredient hardly found at Saratoga, and are Jaore or less charged with sulphuretted hydrogen, as well as carbonic acid. Tbey rise with a temperature of about 56° Fahrenheit in tbe heat of summer, and would certainly se^m to be valuable medicinal waters. Prpf. Cox is deserving of credit for his zeal and care iu examining these springs, and bringing forward the analysis contained in his report.

In Prof. Collett's account of the geology of Sullivan-county there is much that is of interest. As is usual in the coal-measures, with their alternations of marine deposits and seams of coal, there are many interesting and attractive fossils, both of animal and vegetable origin, though no discoveries are noted of anything particularly novel. In describing the "Pioneer Shaft" at Currysville, Prof. Collett remarks: "The roof shale of seam in this mine is a rich herbarium of the age of coal. For profusion of species and perfect preservation of plants, I have not seen its equal. A list of those found in a hurried examination is given, but words cannot picture nature's beautiful fresco-work of fern leaves, vining anularias, and feathery asteropbyllites, relieved by sculptured trunks of lepidodendren, stigmaria andsigillaria." Some space is well occupied by Prof. Collett, With remarks on the numerous ancient mounds .in Sullivau county, which seem to have been partly burial places and partly stations of watch and signal. Amid tbe ignorant and ruthless destruction of' these ancient works of which we hear so often in the West,, it is very gratifying, to find some careful attention given to these remarkable. :ahl interesting relics of a departed race. Thie bookj as a whole, contains a large amount of valuable matter, and to the State itself is ol high importance. It cannot but be regretted that the style of publication, though fair, is not such as to tender the work all that it might be,with more generous appropriations. Inparticular, the report ot a great American State should never be allowed to depend for ils embellishments on views of the springs juid hotels furnished by. the Mietors.

Position of Hon. John La w. Some weeks ago the Terre Haute Express and Evansville Journal published the announcement thatthisdistinguisbed veteran would support Grant. We took occasion to deny the report some days since, and, in order to be sure, wrote to Judge: Law, and have received the following answer

DK. A. J. THOMAS—Dear Sir: Yours duly received. In reply to your inquiry, I would simply say that I will support whoever may be nominated at Baltimore, and if they see fit to accept Mr. Greeley as their staudard bearer, I will vote for him.

We must recognize the fact that times are changed. That entirely new issues have sprnng up, and in many things we must let "the dead bury its dead." The only object is to overthrow the one man power now reigning at the White House.

Yours truly, JOHN LAW.

Special Despatch to the Chicago Tribune. WASHINGTON, June 16.—The Sunday

Berald, a paper of very wide circulation and influence, to-day hoists the names of Greeley and Brown, subject to the approval of the Baltimore Convention. The Capital is still strong for Greeley, and also the Sunday Gazette. The Sun• day Chronicle still adheres to Grant.

THOMAS T. DAVIS, of Syracuse, N. Y., a member of Congress from 1863 to 1867, lately deceased, wasa classmate in Hamilton College of Senator Daniel D. Pratt, of Indiana General John Cochrane, of New York, and the Rev. A. C. Kendrich, Piofessor in Rochester University.

Humans share with Horses the benefits derivable from the world-renowned MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT. The most irrefragable testimony establishes the fact that this wondrous balm exerts the same soothing and healing influence wheu applied to the human cuticle, that it does in cases of spavin, founders, ringbone, poll evil, scratches, wind-gall and other ailments of the horse which require outward treatment. It is, in fact, the most effectual of all external remedies for rheumatism, gout, stiffness of the neck, neuralgia, sore throat, swellings, cuts and bruises of all kinds.

Our recent onslaught u^on the Carpet trade caused a decided B^n&itipn. We, have never seen a more complete success.1-Within24 hours after we had ait trounced our prices to the public, our Carpet room Was crowded with customers, and each week our salep of these goods have contiuued to increase.

It is the Hit Bird that Flutters! 7:1

The people answered, "We doq't belteya you, and even if you have,, Foster Brothers compelled you 'to. lower your plricefc, or you would never have done it, We propose to give .our- patrdnUge to the 'merchants whose prices are so low that they have never had to reduce thenh to meet the prices of other stores." .... ...
