The T. M. Marshall No. 1 (746), drilled by T. M. Mar- 

 shall on his own farm on Slidinghill Run, 1.6 miles east of 

 Stouts Mills, and starting 40 feet below the Sewickley Lime- 

 stone, is reported by him to have found the Pittsburgh Coal 

 at 74 feet, the thickness being 6 feet. The T. M. Marshall 

 No. 2 (754), drilled by E. D. Fulton on the Little Kanawha 

 Ri-er bar at the mouth of Slidinghill Run at Stouts Mills, 

 and starting 2 feet below the Sewickley Limestone, is re- 

 ported by William Crennell, of Union town, Pa., to have 

 reached the Pittsburgh Coal at 111' 8", with a thickness of 

 7' 8". 



The following test starts 198 feet, by hand level, above 

 the Pittsburgh Coal bench and should therefore have encoun- 

 tered the coal at that depth in the hole, but, as the record 

 shows, found nothing, and indicates the complete disappear- 

 ance of the coal :
