COAL.

Cascumpsc, July 24, 1874, To the Editor of the Examiner.

Mr. Evrror:—In resuming the considers ation of the Miminigash coal question, per mit me to observe, that in my humble Opinion, Mr. Young’s violent denunciation of theorists, and of all scientific theoretic data, had probably much, to do in destroy- ing that confidence which the Government might otherwise have reposed in him.

a

‘services,’ and that he, just like Quintius Cincinnatus of old, when invited to the

charms and felicity of agricultural labor on his little farm. In fact, his case would seem, according to his statement, to be so exactly like Cincinnatus’, that I will tran- scrike a short paragraph from a Roman historian, describing his appointment as Dictator -—

“Tt was deemed necessary, as was usual

in all great and urgent perils of the State, to appoint a dictator without delay; the

The strong feeling of hostility existing in the breast of so many practical men, against the learned theorist, arises, no doubt, from the fact, that as a rule the latter invariably

to his position and scientific attainments ; while the hardsworking, practical man, is | too frequently treated with indifference, and that knowledge, which he has acquired

ence, or looked upon with contempt. When these well known facts, are allowed to have their due weight attached to them, they will mitigate the strong expressions and feelings of the practical man,—espe- cially so, when at such a disadvantage, he finds himself placed in juxtaposition with the scientific man. This aside, there can be no doubt, but that Mr. Young is a wells informed practical man, and able to cons duct ‘mining operations with success.’

What seems a little singular to me is, that while Mr, Young professes to treat Mr. Dawson's Report as a production on which no dependence can be placed, yet he and Mr. Dawson each select Miminigash as the best point on the Island to search for coal. Nor is this all, for in some of the reasons given by Mr. Young, a close anal- ogy exists between them and those laid down by Professor Dawson, .

The reasons assigned for locating a shaft at Miminigash, by Mr. Young, are :—

Ist. The spot selected, is immediately above the fossil formation, which crops out So profusely in the bank around the shore,

2d. In the drift formation of that locality slate is found, which Mr. Young maintains is A native.

3d. Limestone abounds there. This fact was first brought to the notice of the public by Bishop McIntyre, who had quite & quantity of it hauled to Tignish, burned, and used in the eonstruction of his brick church.

4th. At a depth not exceeding forty-five | feet, below the surface of the ground where the shaft is located, a bed of blue clay | crops outon theshore. Beneath this clay, | Nr. Young says, there is slate, and below | that, at a depth, under no circumstance of | more than 400 feet, coal; while the probas bility is, it will be found at a depth not exceeding 200 feet.

Such, in brief, are his reasons ; and those of your readers who have carefully read Mr. Dawson's Report of 1871, will find the scientific geologist and practical miner, | agreeing On some important points, The work is now fairly commenced. This fact | inspires a desire to see the shafts complets ed, and the question for or against coal | being found, that can be profitably mined, settled. Were two practical laboring mins

} |

| other laborers necessary, to be had on the

premises, the question could be settled | now, probably at a cheaper rate than at any future time.

It is not pleasant to hear people saying the Government believe no good can come | out of any Nazareth remote more than | some dozen miles from Charlottetown. | Our Island is too small to permit of the |

| successful cultivation of such a dangerous |

plant. The Government that will dispel | such illusions, test this question thoroughly, | and impress upon every mind a broader

| sentiment, will merit well of the people of

this Province. } Ropert Gorpon,.

Tas depredations of the Indians on the | various exposed points of the Western frontier are assuming the dimensions and lignity of a general war, and the greatest |

condition of the United States forces. ‘,eneral Sherman, whose Indian policy is not of@ the gentler sort, attributes these troubles to the weak and vacillating mea- sures of the Indian Bureau. ‘ This Bureau,’ e says, ‘ has fed the Indians all winter, and the ponies are fat ; so the savage warrior is | in fine trim for the acquisition of fresh | scalps and plunder. Next fall, after the |

unmer’s activity, they will all be taken | back and fed.’ There are not wanting | those, however, who allege a very considers able number of strong grounds for the} hostile action of these widely scattered | tribes, horsesstealing being the reason of the movements of the Kiowas, Arrapahoes,
