I purpose this evening to give you a few analyses of Nova 
Scotia minerals which are of interest. 
A set of analyses of Coals from the three seams wyprked at 
Springhill by the Cumberland Railway and Coal Company were 
given me some months ago. They are as follows, and taken 
from the workings at a depth of from 800 to 1000 feet:
