particularly if the character of the coal is high enough. 
The ‘following analyses of the Leetonia coal and coke bear out pil

These are remarkable results, and they place this little seam almost 
at the head of Ohio coals as far as quality is concerned. 
Walters’s mine at Washingtonville is now a railroad bank, furnish- 
ing 300 tons daily for use in locomotives. ‘The coal is counted second 
only to the Pittsburgh coal for this use, where it has been tried. The 
seam is here a trifle stronger than at Leetonia, the measure rising to 32 
inches, all told. The increase is in the top bench, the quality of which 
improves as it thickens. The present price of mining is 95 cents per 
ton, for the coal that passes over a g-inch screen. The present price 
for mining the coal when weighed as it comes from the bank-cars is 63 
cents. These facts are of interest, inasmuch as the Leetonia coal is the 
thinnest coal now worked in the large way in Ohio. 
About 400 acres of this seam at this thickness have already been 
worked out in the Leetonia and adjacent’ Washingtonville mines.
