Mansfield Coal Mines. — There are two mines in Mans- 

 field, near the junction of tlie Taunton Rail Road, with 

 the Boston and rrovidcnce Rail Road, on both of which 

 works are now in progress, which will sonn test thf'ir 

 productiveness. Coal of a very good quality has been 

 taken from both. One of them, belonging to the Mans- 

 field Coal Company, has been explored to a depth of 

 more than twenty feet from the surface, the vein de- 

 scending at a rate of about one foot in four. On the 

 other mine on which works liave been commenced by 

 the Massachusetts Mining Company, a perpendicular 

 shaA has been sunk, which strikes a vein of coal at a 

 depth of about 20 feet. Twenty or thirty ton of coal 

 have been already r^iised. On this mine a steam en- 

 gine is employed, which is worked by coal from the 

 mine, and it operates well. We learn from a gentloman 

 who has visited both mines, that the prospects are 

 highly flattering. He has favored us with specimens 

 of coal from each of the mines. — Boston Patriot.
