On the farm of Mr. Fair, near Fredericktown, the iron ore over Coal 

 No. 3 shows well, the shale being from eight to ten feet in thickness and 

 highly charged with iron. 



At Fredericktown the " Tionesta" sandstone forms the bed and imme- 

 diate banks of the stream. It here contains a coal seam one foot in 

 thickness. About one hundred feet above is a seam of good coal two feet 

 in thickness. Higher up in the hill a thick but impure cannel is re- 

 ported to occur, and the "four-foot seam" (No. 6), with limestone under 

 it, is said to be visible, though I was not able to find its outcrop. The 

 limestone which underlies it appears in the road cut in the cliff on the 

 east side of the river. 



Between Clarkson and Fredericktown Coal No. 7 is opened in several 

 places. It is principally worked at the Hastings Mine and that of Wil- 

 liam Shannon. The coal is here from three feet two inches to three feet 

 six inches in thickness, very bright and pure. An outcrop of coal is seen 

 in the road, some sixty feet below the mines last mentioned, probably 

 No. 6, but apparently not of workable thickness. 



Between Clarkson and New Lisbon Coal No. 6 outcrops in many places, 

 but has been scarcely at all worked. On the farm of Henry Walters., 

 seven miles east of New Lisbon, it shows distinctly in the road, with the 

 limestone under it.
