The following opening was observed in the edge of 

 Webster, coming 205 feet below Mine No. 277 in the Lower 

 Kittanning, but if the rise of the rocks between the two open- 

 ings be allowed for, it would reduce this interval to about 

 100 feet:

The following table gives a list of oil and gas wells 

 recording Mercer Coal, in those regions where its horizon lies 

 under drainage. It is apparently too uncertain to be classified 

 as a commercial seam in any part of the area, but diamond 

 drilling might reveal some small areas where it would be of 

 value at some future date:
