116 TRANSACTIONS OF THE [JAN. 20, 
at not more than 70 feet higher is the hard anthracite of the 
White Ash, and at more than 80 feet lower is the Cook- White 
bed, whose coal, if not anthracite, is certainly much changed. 
A trial pit was seen in this bed near the Boyle mine, but it had 
fallen shut. This may be the bed opened on the west side of 
the cafion at somewhat less than half a mile below the White 
Ash mine. 
The Cook-White or Red Ash coal bed, No. 8 of the section, is 
not worked at present. Its outcrop is shown on the east side 
of Coal cafion from a short distance below the White Ash mine 
to somewhat more thana mile above Madrid; but below the 
Boyle mine the floor of the cafion begins to rise so rapidly that 
there is no reason to suppose that the bed will be reached again 
in that direction, and its outcrop must be sought further west. 
An imperfect exposure at about a mile and a quarter from 
Madrid shows:

and the bottom is not shown. An opening near the ball-ground 
has fallen shut, but fragments on the dump as well as on the 
dump of another old pit near the railroad tank-house show that 
the coal has undergone material change and that much of it is 
anthracitic. A pit, now closed, behind the company’s store at 
Madrid is said to have yielded some natural coke, which is by 
no means improbable as the dyke, so conspicuous farther down 
the cafion, passes very near the mouth. An old pit, directly un- 
der the mouth of the Cunningham mine, shows:
