COAL. 



noticed that there is a broad barren belt, 9 miles wide at the 

 Braxton Line, separating these two minable areas of the coal. 

 In the area shown in the southwestern corner, the coal is 

 patchy and uncertain, and its limits, as shown on Map II and 

 Figure 6, are intended to show the limits beyond which no 

 coal was found rather than to indicate that the coal is of min- 

 able thickness in all the enclosed area. 



In the eastern part of the district, the coal has been found 

 at one point, the Joseph Rhodes Farm Mine (No. 183 on Map 

 II), on Spruce Run of Cedar Creek, 2.2 miles southward from 

 Glenville, where it is 3' 7" in thickness, having an elevation 

 of 850' B. This mine is very close to the line of western dis- 

 appearance. 



At Exposure No. 184 on Map II, on Cedar Creek, 1.7 miles 

 northwest of Cedarville, 2 feet of coal was observed along 

 the public road, at an elevation of 770' B., that apparently 

 represents the Pittsburgh, although no other exposure was 

 observed between this point and Cedarville. 



At Exposure No. 185 on Map II, at the east end of Cedar- 

 ville, the coal is exposed in the public road at an elevation of 

 810' L., and has a thickness of 2' 8" with a large parting, as 

 shown by the section for Cedarville, page 94.

On Upper Level Run, 0.5 mile southeast of Cedarville; Pittsburgh 

 Coal; butts, N. 80 W.; elevation, 825' B.

ment) 3 5 6 4 



A sample was collected from Nos. 2, 4 and 6 of section, 

 the composition of which is published under Mine No. 186 in 

 the table of coal analyses at the end of this Chapter. 



The Allen Bailey Farm Mine (No. 187 on Map II), on 

 Cedar Creek, 0.5 mile east of Cedarville, showed 4' 0" of clean 

 coal, at an elevation of 800' B.
