In the report on Washington and Greene counties Stevenson" gives 
a number of analyses, two of which are from localities in this quad- 
rangle. They are as follows:

The Waynesburg U A" coal is ^ery persistent throughout the county 
and can usually be recognized by blossoms occurring 50 to 80 feet 
above the Waynesburg coal. It occurs above the Waynesburg sand- 
stone and is in many places associated with thin limestones. Usually 
the coal is thin, but in a few localities its blossom is so conspicuous 
that it has been mistaken for the Waynesburg. This is especially 
true in sections where the Waynesburg sandstone is absent, and in 
such cases there is no sure guide to the coals. 
Only two measurements of this coal are known. They amount to 
20 and 27 inches (fig. 6, Nos. 19 and 20, p. 102), and the coal is 
much broken up by bone and clay. At one of these localities, lj 
miles southeast of Lone Pine, the coal has been opened. This is the, ! 
only known open bank on this bed in the quadrangle. If this expo- 
sure represents the best of the coal, it will be readily understood that 
the Waynesburg a A" seam can never be of much value.
