WEST VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. 571 



Quantity of Bakerstown Coal Available. 



As previously mentioned, the large number of oil and gas 

 well records compiled in the accompanying table, showing 

 Bakerstown Coal in a considerable portion of the two coun- 

 ties, where its horizon lies under drainage, indicates that this 

 coal will eventually be worth investigating as a mining prop- 

 osition when the surface coals have become scarce. In some 

 records too much coal is probably shown, as several feet of 

 black slate often occurs above this coal, accounting for the 

 thickness of 10 to 12 feet given in some of the records. 'After 

 the list of wells recording Bakerstown Coal, another table ap- 

 pears, showing the probable amount of this coal. The thick- 

 ness of coal assumed where the coal is under drainage is made 

 smaller than the average shown in the well records in order 

 to allow for those portions where the coal appears to be absent 

 or thin :
