At Toronto (Sloan’s Station) the following section was obtained, 
in part, from the new shaft record :

Lower Kittanning coal, 3 ft. 5 in. 
Kittanning clay, 6 ft. 6 in. 
The last-named coal is about 30 feet below railroad grade. 
One mile below Toronto, near Jeddo Station, the Lower Freeport 
coal is worked, 25 feet above railroad grade. On Thomas Wells’s 
farm, half-way between Jeddo and Brown’s Station, the same coal is 
found 10 ft. above the railroad. At Brown Station, it is found near the 
level of Island Creek. It rises with the creek to the northward, and 
was formerly worked in the large way for the use of the salt wells of 
this valley. It is 77 feet below the well-known coal mined on Wm. 8. 
Finley’s farm, which, as all agree, is the equivalent of the Groff or 
Brush Creek seam. 
The Lower Kittanning seam has now gone below drainage, and 
henceforth the Lower Freeport coal will be taken as the base of the 
sections by which the continuity is to be maintained. 
At G. W. Peacher’s mill, half-way between Finley’s mines and the 
river, the Lower Freeport coal is worked. It here lies 336 feet below 
the Crinoidal limestone. 
At the mouth of Island Creek, the following section is found:
