556 COAL. 



No regular partings were observed but a few clay seams 

 were visible. A sample was collected from this coal, the com- 

 position of which is published under Mine No. 192 in the table 

 of coal analyses at the end of this Chapter. 



The coal was once opened at the Draper Stump Farm 

 Mine (No. 193 on Map II), at the mouth of Crooked Fork, 0.5 

 mile northeast of Valley, at an elevation of 955' B., apparently 

 at the very crest of the Chestnut Ridge Anticline, but the mine 

 has fallen shut, being reported 6 feet thick. 



The E. B. Petty Farm Mine (No. 194 on Map II), on a 

 branch of Right Fork of Steer Creek, 0.3 mile west of Valley, 

 showed 3' 8" of coal, at an elevation of 935' B. 



The coal has been mined extensively for local domestic 

 fuel along Bear Fork, where the two following openings were 

 observed :
