576 COAL. 



THE UPPER KITTANNING COAL. 



The Upper Kittanning Coal, a brief description of which 

 appears in Chapter VIII, crops only in Collins Settlement Dis- 

 trict, Lewis, where it has been frequently opened for local do- 

 mestic fuel. It is a good coal in most of this region, varying 

 from 2 to 4 feet. The only analysis available shows that the 

 coal is somewhat high in ash and sulphur. In those portions 

 of the two counties where the coal lies under drainage this 

 coal has been occasionally found by well drillers but there are 

 not enough records showing it to warrant the statement that 

 it will be found continuous enough for mining in any locality 

 except along the Upshur Line in portions of Skin Creek and 

 Collins Settlement Districts. Its crop is shown on Map II 

 and its probable minable area on Figure 10.
