The  Jagger  seam,  as  observed  in  a  railroad  eut  between  Johns  and 
Adger,  is  about  30  inches  thick.  According  to  common  report  it  is 
too  thin  to  be  of  value  in  the  Little  basin.  In  the  Big  basin,  how- 
ever, a  seam  that  is  regarded  as  the  Jagger  is  mined  at  Yolande, 
Abernant,  and  at  Rock  Castle  on  a  little  branch  of  Davis  Creek,  about 
2  miles  southeast  of  Milldale.  The  coal  at  these  mines  is  6  to  8  feet 
thick,  with  several  partings,  some  of  which  reach  a  thickness  of  6 
inches.
