A sample was collected from this coal, the composition 

 of which is published under Mine No. 86 in the table of coal 

 analyses at the end of this Chapter. 



Redstone Coal, Courthouse District, Lewis. 



In Courthouse District, the Redstone is of commercial 

 thickness and purity in the eastern portion, but in the western 

 end it is apparently too patchy and uncertain to be of definite 

 value. Map II and Figure 5 show the approximate western 

 line of disappearance beyond which there may be small de- 

 posits of the coal but probably none of minable extent. 

 Numerous openings were examined throughout the region 

 where the coal crops.

On Stonecoal Creek, 0.6 mile southeast of Weston; Redstone Coal;
