Coal has been found three miles west of Williamsford, and about fourteen miles from Owen Sound. The speci- mens taken up are said to be of a high grade of massion coal," and the value of the discovery depends now altogether `on the extent of the deposit. It may prove of inestimable importance to Owen Sound and that". section of the province, and on the other hand,` if the discovery is but an isolated pocket it will only be extraordinary as the first nd of coal in the vicinity. `The history of the nd is interesting. Two years ' ago Mr. Christian Inglis was excavating on hisfarm. and found two pieces of coal, and, as_ they were so unusual in appear-i ancejtookthem home.
