There  is  no  evidence  that  the  seam  as  developed  at  this  point  is  of  considerable  extent 
in  tin'  locality. 
The  seam  is  probably  not  known  southwest  ward  of  the  point  described  above  to  beyond 
Newcastle,  but  on  the  Louisville  and  Nashville  Railroad,  about  one-fourth  mile  north  of 
the  junction  of  the  Northern  Alabama  Railway ,  a  seam  is  exposed  which  is  probably  Blue 
Creek.     Below  is  the  section:

Farther  south  little  or  nothing  is  known  of  this  seam  and  it  is  probably  of  no  value  along 
the  outcrop. 
J  agger  seam.  The  Jagger  is  a  mumble  seam  on  Trouble  Creek,  along  the  river  to  the 
north  of  this  creek,  and  perhaps  along  the  river  southwest  of  these  localities.  On 
Trouble  Creek  the  top  of  the  seam  was  seen  in  old  pits  and  '2\  to  :->!  feet  of  coal  were  reported 
by  a  man  who  had  helped  open  the  pits.  On  the  south  bluff  of  the  river  one-fourth  mile 
west  of  the  mouth  of  Whites  Creek  the  following  section  was  measured:

On  the  head  of  Whites  Creek  it  is  thin  and  lies  under  a  coarse  sandstone.  Around  the 
northeast  end  of  the  field  it  is  thin  or  very  dirty,  as  at  Kimberly  and  Seloca,  where  it  is 
exposed  in  railroad  cuts.     It  is  everywhere  worthless  in  this  regi  »n
