From Bellaire' 1 -" for about 35 miles (65 km.) northwestward, the 

 road traverses the northern edgeofthe great Pittsburg coal basin, the 

 beds of which are rising to the northwest. 10 to 15 feet to the mile (2 to 

 3 m. to the km.). The coal seam has deteriorated in quality as it has 

 been followed westward into Ohio. It still lias good thickness (6 feet) 

 ami it preserves the coking quality which gives to it such greatvalue in 

 the Connellsville district of western Pennsylvania, but the percentage 

 of sulphur has been so greatly increased that it no longer furnishes an 

 iron-making fuel and for the same reason it is not acceptable as n ^as- 

 making coal. The seam lies lot) feet (30 m.) above the river near 

 Bellaire. The geological section furnished by the river hills at this 



' min< < ' OV( ' rs A atire Upper Productive Coal Measuresandivacl.es 



well up into the Upper Barren Measures. At no point, in Ohio is there 

 a better exposed natural section of this part of the geological column.
