CAHABA OOAL FIELD : CAHABA BASIN. 67 
will show the seams of this basin and their relative posi- 
tion. 
The Wadswo1th seam in this basin was mined near the 
railroad bridge during the war by Woodson & Gould, and 
by various parties since. 
Immediately after the war, William Gould opened a drift 
on the Gould seam at a point about a mile southwest of the 
high trestle where the Gould outcrop crosses the South 
and North Alabama Railroad ; from this point he supplied 
the foundaries of Alabama with a superior coke for their 
cupolas. 
For analysis of the Wadsworth coal, see chapter on the 
Helena basin.
