A correspondent of the Colliery Guardian bas sent that parnal the following notable statement as to the discovery of ancient coal- workings in China, apparently conclusively proving that coal was scientifically mined in that country long before its use was known in Europe. South of Fushan," he writes, "over the Eun river, are some rich coal mines with good steam coal easily worked. For hundreds of years no one dared. to. excavate into the sacred hills in which the Imperial Dragon is raid to dwell. A few years since, however, the Russo-Chinese Bank obtained a special pri vilege and found what were believed to be coul beds, which had never been worked, and cer- tainly in Chinese historial records, nothing has been found relating to them. The Russians at first laboured with primitive.native methods, attacking the nearer coal seams, but later. ad determined to bore deeper and introduced machinary. A special and highly-trained engi neer, M. Hope, was placed in charged, and he discovered that a deeper levels there had existed thick, and rich coal beds which had been completely worked out by perpendicular shafts, denoting in every way a high degree of scientific skill which is entirely lacking in all Chinese mining industries within historic times. By somewhat curious coincidence, some, further light has been thrown on the same subject by a correspondent of the Sydney But lets, who, in looking through Marco Polo's account of his travels in the latter part of the thirteenth century, found the following reference. to stones which are burnt instead of wood:- "It may be observed, also, that throughout the whola, province of Cathay there are a kind of black, stones cut from the mountains in veins, Jannexation of this territory by Germany, as Tis. 181. to Tls. 180 for cash.
