GEOLO&Y OF OHIO. 



Two analyses of the coal of this seam on Upper Sunday Creek were 

 made by Professor Woxmley, with results as follows : 



No. 1, coal from the Stallsmith bank; No. 2, coal from Benjamin 

 Sanders's bank. 



There is more sulphur than is desirable, but the coal is, nevertheless, 

 popular in the neighborhood, and has been used in preference to that of 

 the Nelsonville seam, on account of its melting property. The coke 

 made from the coal is hard, and resembles that from the same seam far- 

 ther south. The seam is here about four feet thick. 



On the Donnelly farm, near Oakfield, the same seam is something over 

 four feet in thickness. 



On Snow Fork it is seen at many points. On the land of Messrs. 

 Buckingham and Wright it is seen ninety feet (barometer) above the Nel- 

 sonville seam. It is four feet eight inches thick, with a two inch parting 

 near the middle. On the Maxwell land, on Bear Run branch of Snow 

 Fork, it presents the following structure:

At the Akron Furnace, near Bessemer, there is, I think, a remnant of 

 the Bayley's Run coal, in a local deposit one foot ten inches thick in the 

 center, but thinning out on either hand, the whole horizontal extension 

 being only a few rods. It curves down in the middle, where it is close 

 upon the " Bessemer ore." Assuming that its true i^lace is about six 

 feet above the ore, it is then about eighty-eight feet above the Nelson- 

 ville seam. This is certainly the relative position for the Bayley's Run 

 eoal, although the interval is subject to a little variation. There is no
