82 ANALYSIS OF OHIO COALS. 



Tallmadge, but a little softer and more bituminous. Specific 

 gravity, 1.283. 



Chemical Composition — Carbon, - - 47.494 



Bitumen, - - 49.776 

 Ashes, - - 2.730 



Total, - - - 100.000 



Econonical value, same as Tallmadge and Chippeway. 

 From its highly bituminous character, it forms a peculiarly 

 pleasant and cheerful fire in a grate, and with a careful 

 exclusion of the sulphuret of iron which it contains, col- 

 lected in easily separable masses, it would form a superior 

 gas coal. The stratum from which it is derived is the third 

 in the ascending series from the base of the productive 

 coal measures. 



From Dickinson's mine, Sandyville, on Sandy and Beaver 

 Canal, 



Thickness, 4 feet. 



No. 5. — Fairview Coal. 



Resembles the Mahoning Valley Coal in structure and 

 purity, but softer and more brilliant, and having rarely 

 scales of silex and sulphuret of iron in the joints. Specific 

 gravety, 1,267, 



Chemical Composition — Carbon, - - 57,341 



Bitumen, - - 40,890 

 Ashes, - - 1.769 



Total, - - - 100.000 



Economical Value. — A remarkably pure coal, and evi- 

 dently^ well adapted to the manufacture of metals, as well 

 as all other purposes for which mineral fuel is required. 



Geological position the same as Chippeway and Tall- 

 madge, 



From the mine of Tod and Rhodes, Baughman township, 

 Wayne county.
