The lower coal is reported only in the Elizabeth Morton No. 1 (291), 
Winnet McCarthy No. 2 (289), and Frank McCarthy No. 1 (286) wells 
in West Bethlehem Township. Its distance below the Pittsburg bed 
is 755, 745, and 750 feet, respectively. In those wells the coal is 
reported as the "Connellsville," but since the distance from the Pitts- 
burg is too great, it is believed to be more probably the equivalent of 
one of the Kittanning group. What may be the same coal is recorded 
in the A. M. Wickerham well (50) in the borough of Deemston, but in 
this case the distance is only 721 feet. In the Luse well (15) near 
Beallsville, and in the Gantz well at Washington, a coal is recorded 
672 feet and 653 feet, respectively, below the Pittsburg. This may 
possibly be the Lower Freeport coal of the Allegheny Valley, which in 
the vicinity of Connellsville is locally present about 40 feet below the 
Upper Freeport. 
The A. C. Mitchell well, in West Pike Run Township, is the only one 
in the quadrangle which shows three coal beds in the Allegheny forma- 
tion. In this record the following section is given:
