To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


After Mr. Blake's examinations there in 1868, the Seattle coal field lay idle for about three years. But in 1871 some new parties took hold of it, and made the first real attempts to mine coal here for market. The shipments to San Francisco were in that year a little less than five thousand tons. For the succeeding three years the shipments were also small, which was due to the fact that the owners were men of small means, and were obliged to struggle against all the disadvantages of a lack of
...adequate capital, combined with the steady and active opposition of a powerful clique of capitalists in San Francisco. It has, therefore, been only since 1874 that they have been in a position to be able to really begin to make the market feel what the capacities of the Seattle coal field are.
Whether Seattle coal is capable of competing with Mt. Diablo coal or not, may be judged somewhat from the statistics of the last three years. In 1874, the re- ceipts of Mt. Diablo coal at San Francisco are stated to have been two hundred and six thousand two hundred and fifty-five tons, while in 1876 they were one hundred and eight thpusand and seventy-eight tons.
