Coal at Fort Bolknap.
ftlilnr Shite Gazette:

Wil.iL'ieal structure of that reirion.

M-iiuie a large portion 01 these

11 res or coal-bearing strata. This
is proved by their fossil remains
beyond question.
Whet. Fort Itclknup tvns occupied
by the I'tiited Stales soldiers this
cowl was used for fuel by both olll-
cers and men. Itisjiow used by
tho blacksmiths at the Fort ami
also by those of some of the adjoin-
ing towns. A citizen of that place
who hud formerly lived in Louis-
ville Kentucky where ho was ac.
customed to the use of the bitumin-
ous ei.it I of Ohio and Kentucky
statedthat he was then (1861) us-
ing the Helkuap coal at his house
and he considered it equal ill value
to those Northern coals.
It should bo also remembered
that much of tho coal obtained from
those nowly opened beds has been
exposed a long time to the action of
the wml her causing it to bo of an
inferior quality. Tho farmers of
that county have enough wood at
home hence this coal is rarely used
excepting by the blacksmiths who.
with very little trouble obtain sutli-
cie.it for their use. and then the
