coal. It is also present in a few high tops along the Roanoke 

 Syncline, but, so far as known, has not been prospected. 



Washington Coal, Troy District, Gilmer. 



In Troy District, the Washington Coal is found along the 

 western edge and its blossom occurs frequently along the hill 

 roads but it has been prospected but little. It was opened at 

 the L. A. Law Prospect (No. 12 on Map II), on the head of 

 Horn Creek, 1.7 miles northwest of Conings, at an elevation 

 of 1050' B. 



Washington Coal, Dekalb District, Gilmer. 



In Dekalb District the coal occurs along the northwestern 

 edge, being usually well up in the hills, except near the Ritchie 

 Line. It has been prospected to some extent, but, so far as 

 known, these have fallen shut. At Prospect No. 13 on Map 

 II, on Bull Fork. 0.9 mile northwest of Alfred, the coal had an 

 elevation of 1025' B. At Prospect No. 14 on Map II, on Trace 

 Fork, 2.1 miles northeast of Nobe, its elevation is 1065' B. 



Washington Coal, Glenville District, Gilmer. 



In Glenville District, the Washington Coal is found in 

 some of the high ridges along the Grassland Syncline. Owing 

 to its scattered extent and to the fact that the Pittsburgh Coal 

 occurs at a more accessible level and in much more abundant 

 quantity and in superior quality, it has been prospected but 

 little. The coal was opened at Prospect No. 15 on Map II, on 

 Sand Fork, 1.3 miles northeast of Sand Fork town, at an eleva- 

 tion of 1135' B., but the mine had fallen shut. It was also pros- 

 pected at Opening No. 16 on Map II, on Locust Knob, 0.2 mile 

 southeast of Rudkin, at an elevation of 1425' B.
