The Cannel mine, as its name indicates, is opened in cannel coal. 
The cannel appears here as a local deposit of only a few acres in 
extent. Itis the Coalton seam, locally replaced by a formation of 
cannel. Sometimes the whole seam appears as cannel, but generally 
the lower part of the bed retains its bituminous character, about one- 
half being cannel and one-half ordinary Coalton coal. On the opposite 
side of Pigeon Creek and in the mines opened above and below the 
cannel bank, the cannel is absent. 
A mile north-east, however, the cannel comes in again and spreads 
itself over an area of several square miles, but it is, so far as known, 
of very inferior quality, being in fact nothing more than bituminous 
shale. A foot of the lower part of the seam is, however, bituminous 
coal of good quality. 
The average thickness of the Coalton mines is a little less than 
three feet ; occasionally the seam swells to four feet, and sometimes it 
recedes considerably below three feet. 
At Glen Roy, two miles east of Coalton, the point where the two 
railroads diverge, 3 mines are opened and another will be sunk during 
‘the summer. The mines now in operation are:

These are all shafts, varying from 50 to 80 feet in depth. The 
height of seam in the Glen Roy mines varies from 3 to 33 feet. The 
coal is well under cover in this field, and is nowhere cut out oy ravines. 
Two miles north of Glen Roy the seam runs into a bastard cannel 
or bituminous shale, and two or three miles south it seems to be re- 
placed by the same material near the village of Berlin. A mile or so
