Abstract

The attempt which is being made, by means of the diamond
drill, to test the question of the existence of deep lying
seams of coal at Tarleton, on the Mersey, and near the
Cascades Brewery, at Hobart, calls for some notice. The
work is not yet so far advanced as to demand more than a
brief statement of the circumstances under which it has
been undertaken.--
