a ridge of Drift material, gravel and sand, two miles long west of the 

 center. Blocks of sandstone are here scattered for half a mile in a S. S. 

 E. direction from their place of origin. 



Much of the southern part of Canfield is underlain by Coal No. 4, and it 

 was at one time quite extensively worked by Messrs. John and Wm. 

 Wetmore, on Section 24. The coal is here about five feet thick, all cannel, 

 with the exception of a thin sheet at the bottom. The coal of the upper 

 bench contains about nineteen per cent, of ash, that of the lower eleven and 

 one-half per cent. A beautiful fossil fish was obtained in the center of a 

 block of this cannel while the mine was worked. It is a species of 

 Palceonicm, (P. Peltigerm, N.), and is now in the possession of Mr. Wm. 

 Wetmore. The cannel seam has been opened west of Wetmore's mine, 

 both north and south of the township line, but is apparently less pure 

 and good in this direction. In the southwest corner of the township it 

 is opened on the land of Mr. Ewing, near the steam saw mill! It is here 

 but two and one half feet in thickness, the lower two feet being bituminous 

 coal, of good quality, the upper six inches cannel. Eight feet below this 

 coal seam is another, which is regarded by Mr. Wetmore as Coal 3a ; if 

 so, it approaches much nearer to No. 4 than it is known to do elsewhere. 

 Possibly this is only one of the local seams so frequently met with in 

 this part of the series. 



ELLSWORTH. 



Coals Nos. 3 and 3a are known to exist in greater or less development 

 in most parts of this township. In tae northeastern part, on the lands of 

 G. Harding, and in the northwestern part, on the farm of Thomas Rose 

 Coal No. 3 has been somewhat worked ; and in the east and southeast 

 section Coal No. 3a has been opened on the lands of Henninger and Durs- 

 man, but is not now mined. 



No successful boring has been made for the Lower Coal in Ellsworth, 

 and the presence or absence of this seam must be determined by 

 further search. 



Very beautiful crystals of gypsum are-found in a clay bank just south 

 of the center of Ellsworth, and from this locality they have been very 

 generally distributed to the mineralogists of the country. 



BERLIN. 



No coal is worked in this township. Coal No. 3 is found in many 

 localities, but is generally thin. It has been opened on the Kline farm 

 It is believed that good basins of Coal No. 1 underlie this township, but 

 very little has been done to test the truth of this impression. From the
