     opened last spring, but coal was mined here fifty years ago.  The coal
     is a good quality.  The average thickness of the vein is 28 inches.
     It is found at a depth of 35 feet from the surface.  It is underlaid
     with a vein of fire clay 18 feet in thickness.  Has a soft slate roof,
     which has to be planked, when the coal is mined from under it.  Em-
     ploys nine men.  Has a natural ventilation.  There is also another
     vein of coal 34 feet below this one 2 1/2 feet in thickness, which it
     is claimed has a good roof.  This mine is near the Cedar river in the
     town of Williamston, Ingham county.
