GUERNSEY COUNTY. 541 



Station, section 1, a well was bored in search of coal. The following is a 

 reported record of the boring, furnished by Mr. Thomas Ritchie : 



Ft. Id. 



1. Clay shale 66 



2. Coal 2 



3. Black slate 3 o 



4. Coal 2 



5. Clay (not measured). 



6. Sandstone , 44 o 



7. Coal, reported thickness 3 



8. Underclay 5 o 



The Anderson seam of coal, found less than a mile from this point, is 



forty-six feet above the top of this boring. Below the Anderson coal is 



-the Cambridge fossiliferous limestone. By these strata we can j udge of the 



distance down to the Cambridge, or Scott's coal. This makes the lowest 



coal reached in the experimental well to be the Cambridge seam.
