The Burton Fidler Farm Mine (No. 177 on Map II), on a 



branch of Ellis Creek, 2.4 miles northwest of Ellis, showed 4 

 feet of coal, at an elevation of 890' B. 



Southeast of the Grassland Syncline, the coal rises above 

 drainage again along the Little Kanawha River near Gilmer 

 Station, on the Coal and Coke Railway, close to the Braxton 

 Line. Here it is being mined commercially and furnishes a 

 fine grade of steam and domestic fuel.

"Principal office, Charleston, W. Va.; daily capacity, 225 tons, 

 but designed to increase output to 1000 tons; 24 miners and 6 

 laborers employed; electric haulage; coal shipped West for railroad 

 fuel; butts, N. 80 W.; faces, N. 10 E., by pocket compass; great- 

 est rise, southeast; sample collected from Nos. 2, 3 and 4 of sec- 

 tion in room 13, 2nd Right, by D. B. Reger; J. M. Campbell, Vice 

 President, authority for mine data." 



The composition of the above sample is published under 

 Mine No. 178 in the table of coal analyses at the end of this 

 Chapter. The cannel bone was included in the sample, be- 

 cause, according to the officials of the company, buyers raise 

 no objection to its presence in the shipment, its high volatile 

 content causing it to burn freely.
