Franklin. — The western half of this township is chiefly bottom land 

 along the valley of the Tuscarawas. The eastern half rises, for the most 

 part, above the plane of Coal No. 6, which bed is worked near both the 

 northern and the southern line of the township. On the north line, by 

 the mouth of Rock Run, three miles below Coshocton, is the mine of Mr. 

 Keith, 110 feet above the railroad, with which it is connected by a tram- 

 road. The old mine is near the railroad, but the new opening is half a 

 mile from it. The work here is well laid out for a large business. The 

 coal-bed is four feet thick ; the coal in cubical blocks, very black and 

 brilli^.nt, with frequent flakes of charcoal scattered through it, and the 

 coal is here 110 feet above the railroad, and the railroad 125 feet above 

 Lake Erie, which proves the coal to be fifty-one feet lower than at the 

 mines of the Coshocton Coal Company, three miles east of Coshocton.
