feet, the elevation being 1358' B., as published in the section 

 for Jane Lew, page 47. 



At the Charles Smith Exposure (No. 130 on Map II), on 

 a branch of Maxwell Run, 0.7 mile east of Deanville, the Pitts- 

 burgh Coal showed a thickness of 1' 9", at an elevation of 

 1308' B., being 48 feet, by hand level, below an opening in 

 the Redstone Coal. 



The Wallace Parsley Prospect (No. 131 on Map II), on 

 West Fork River, just east of Deanville, had fallen shut, but, 

 according to residents, showed a thickness of 1' 6", the eleva- 

 tion being 1272' L., as published in the section for Deanville, 

 page 52. 



Pittsburgh Coal, Freemans Creek District, Lewis. 



In Freemans Creek District, the evidence is sufficient to 

 class the Pittsburgh Coal as a minable seam in all those por- 

 tions where its horizon still remains uneroded except in the 

 extreme western region, next to Gilmer and Doddridge, where 

 the western line of disappearance, shown on Map II, indi- 

 cates that it has thinned out completely. There may be scat- 

 tered localities east of this line where the coal will not be 

 found, but it is believed that these are few. The coal crops 

 in a broad belt along the Chestnut Ridge Anticline, through 

 the center of the district, and in this region, as well as in 

 numerous oil and gas well records, the coal varies from 4 to 

 8 feet in thickness. 



At Farm Mine No. 132 on Map II, on Turkeypen Run, 0.9 

 mile southeast of Mineral, the opening had fallen shut, but 4 

 feet of coal was visible at the mouth, the elevation being 1065' 

 B. It is probable that this exposure does not represent the 

 entire seam, as the base was concealed.
