In the following section, arranged in descending order, 

 the surface portion was measured with hand level up the high 

 hill along the Gilmer-Braxton Line, immediately northeast 

 of Rosedale, Braxton County. The lower portion is the rec- 

 ord of the J. W. Twyman No. 1 (794) well, a dry hole drilled 

 by the South Penn Oil Company at the southern edge of 

 Rosedale. The section shows the complete absence of the 

 Pittsburgh Coal, but its horizon is plain since there is a broad 

 bench along the hillsides about 100 feet below the great pebbly 

 Sewickley Sandstone cliff and the coal itself has been opened 

 and mined southwestward along Mill Fork, the nearest open- 

 ing being at the mouth of Anthony Fork, 1.7 miles south- 

 west of Rosedale :
