 The spring is only about three feet distant. Its water is called good, 



but said to taste a little sulphury. 

 It is probably the same bed that was very poorly opened in 1872 rather 



high up the hillside in Peels' Hollow, with the following section from

 The coal is only bituminous, and nothing but dirty crop-coal, and so 

 not of very good appearance. 



The bed was also opened in 1872 near Asa Ferrel's house, and near 

 the southwest corner of the map, just above the so-called Ferrel's coal 

 opening on the Factory Coal Bed, or the Peytona Main Cannel, and had 

 the following section from above downward :

 The coal of Wood's Upper Bed is bituminous, of very fine quality, espe- 

 cially the main bench, below the seam of, clay. The main bench is a 

 remarka'ily firm splint coal, extremely well suited for steam purposes or 

 domestic fires, or probably even for burning raw in iron furnaces. It is 

 easily mined in large blocks that bear rough handling extremely well. 

 A fair specimen of it was assayed in 1872 by the very able chemist. Dr. 

 George A. Koenig, and yielded : 



Coke 68.35 



Gas 23.25 



Ashes (gray) G.45 



Hygroscopic water 1.95
