1354451 ALLEGANY COUNTY.
ALLEGANY COUNTY is in the western division of the State, and is bounded on the east by Washington County, south by the north branch of tbe Potomac River to the mouth of Savage River, then in a north-easterly direction to summit of Savage Mountain, (which is the dividing line between it and Garrett County,) and on to the Pennsylvania line. This county is crossed by the ranges of the Allegany Mountains, from which it takes its name. The geology is composed principally of sandatone and limestone, with quartz and slate. The most valuable minerals are the vast coal fields and iron ore beds. The soil is of varying character, of sand and clay; in some parts quite fertile, though mostly uncultivated and covered with natural forests. The waters of the county are the north branch of the Potomac and Savage River, and George'a, Willa', Town, Fifteen Mile and Evitt's Creeks, with many tributaries heading in the mountains, and all flowing into the Potomac. The surface of Allegany is broken and irregular, the greater part being in the mountains, and covered with the original forests of fine timbers; whilst between the mountain ridges are many broad and level valleys, which have in most cases rich, deep soil, and are covered with excellent grasses, forming naturally, very fine grazing lands, and yielding large crops of good hay. The landa also make good farms, producing all kinds of grain and fine fruit. Allegany possesses in its immense coal fields the most valuable mineral deposits in the State.
The celebrated Cumberland coal field lies west of the city, in a basin formed by the Great Savage Mountain on the north-west and the Dan's Mountain on the south-east, and running north-east and south-west from Pennsylvania State Line, through Allegany County, into Mineral County, West Virginia. The basin is about five miles wide between the two ranges and about twenty miles long. The floor of the basin slopes from either end upwards to Frostburg, where it attains its greatest altitude, from 2,000 to 2,100 feet above mean tide.
The southern slope of the basin is drained by George's Creek, flowing south-west from Frostburg and emptying into the Potomac River. The northern slope, by Jenning's Run, flowing north-west into Wills' Creek. The aggregate depth of the coal formation here is 1,100 feet, its base being the Millstone Grit. Capping the summits of Savage and Dan's Mountains, it extends down their sides into the valley, where it dips below the surface.
The principal coal veins are, first, the "Big Vein," fourteen feet of coal, lying 1,860 feet above tide. This is the vein from which most of the coal is now mined. It underlies the surface of the valley at Frostburg and Borden Shaft, but south ward, down the George's Creek, water has cut away that portion of the measure lying in the lowest part of the valley and with it this vein, (which here must have been very near the surface), leaving the higher parts only of the vein standing in the hills thus formed on either side of the water course. Second, the "Four Foot Vein," which lies about 800 feet below the "Fourteen Foot Vein." This vein is below water in the higher part of the basin; but appears about sixty feet above at Barton, and lies above the level from that point southward, down the George's Creek.

This vein has been opened by the Piedmont Coal and Iron Company, and proves to be equal in quality to the Big Vein, and in the southern portion of the basin lies in auch a way as to be easily mined. Lastly, the "Six Foot Vein," which lies 160 feet below the "Four Foot Vein," and is above water level in the lower part of the valley only. Thia vein is now successfully mined at the New Reading opening, at Westernport. These two lower veina, though smaller in size than the "Big Vein," have a much greater acreage, as but little of either vein has been cut away by erosion. At present the abundant supply contained in the large vein 18 so easy of access and can be so cheaply mined, that these smaller veins have not received the share of attention which they eventually will. Several new openinga other than those mentioned are now being made in these smaller veins, with very encouraging prospects.
The total acreage of coal land in this field is 44,132. Of this, 17,300 acres contain the large . Fourteen Foot Vein," and of course all contain the two amaller veina. Besides these, which are the working veins, there are numerous other small veina, throughout the entire depth of the coat measure; these veins are from aix inches to three feet in thickness; they have never received any attention from mining companies or experts, and we are not able to say what may be their actual value in workable coal. The Cumberland coal field is one of extraordinary wealth. Mining began in 1842, and aince then over 31,000,000 tons in alt, and 2,410,891 tons in a single year, have been sent into the market by twenty companies, the portion of the field now moat worked heing that between Frostburg and Piedmont, on George's Creek. This immense transportation has been chiefly done over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. In the two principal veins there are estimated to be now 318 000,000 tons, besides several underlying veina not yet developed. The coal occurs in auch a manner as to make the expense of working a minimum, being never far from the surface and in veina of great thickness, the one of fourteen feet having no parallel elsewhere.
The coal produced is semi-bituminous, burns very easily and to a very light ash, having no slack or clinker; it is excellent for blacksmithing, and unex- celled for manufacturing purposes generally, being the very best fuel for generating ateam. It is largely furnished for the aupplies of New England, the State of New York, for steamship purposes, and to all the Atlantic cities, and is largely exported to the West Indies, the eastern and western coasts of South America, California, etc. It is also sent by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and its connectiona, for manufacturing purposes to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and many other Western States. This county has also large supplies of iron ores which are amelted in several large furnaces; many undeveloped beds being a very fine description of ore; also, excellent building materials of limestone and sandstone, and large quantities of hydraulic cement ; aand- stone suitable for manufacturing glass can be found in large quantities on the suburbs of Cumberland. Fine ciay, of a very superior quality, ia found and manufactured in immense quantities at Mt. Savage. Thia county has great and almost innumerable water powers, comparatively little used, having only some few grist and saw milla for local uses only. The climate is pure and healthy. The principal productiona are corn, oats, buckwheat, potatoes, butter, hay, wool, liquors, leather, coal and lumber.

CUMBERLAND,
The county aeat, is a flourishing town, the second largest and most impor- tant town in the State. It is situated at the confluence of Wills' Creek with the North Branch of the Potomac River, and on its left bank. The location is in a basin or amphitheatre formed by the Wills' and Knobly ranges of the great Allegany Mountains, completely surrounding it with mountain ranges and peaks, and it is called the "Queen City." Wills' Creek here bursts through Willa' and Dan's Mountains to join the Potomac, and up the magni- ficent gap so formed runs the old National Road with its aingle arched bridge. Here is the auperb Queen City Hotel, owned and operated by the Balto. & Ohio Co., from the gallery of which can be seen a pretty yellow atone gothic church, standing on a hill in the heart of the town. Here stood Fort Cumberland, and here was the rendezvous for Braddock's expedition.
The City is on the outer edge of the great coal basin and ia connected with it by the Cumberland & Penna. R. R., which runs from Cumberland to Piedmont, through the coal basin, and by the Echart mines branch, which runs from Cumberland to Echart and other mines on the eastern edge of the coal fielda. It ia the principal shipping point for the celebrated Cumberland coal. It is near the centre of the main stem of that great National highway the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, 204 miles from river navigation at Parkersburg and Wheeling, in West Virginia, and 178 miles from tide- water at Baltimore. The Pittsburgh and Connellsville Branch joins the main stem here and connects it with Pittsburgh, 149 miles, and the oil regions of Pennsylvania. The Bedford and Huntingdon branch of the Pennsylvania Railway connects it with all important points in central and eastern Penn- sylvania. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal has its western terminus here, and connects it with tide-water at Georgetown, in the District of Columbia, and Alexandria, in Virginia.
