The lower coal may be cut out at this point. If present it will be 
reached within a few feet. The measurement from the Roger to the 
Strip Vein is 75% feet, or just about the measure on the outcrop. Tradi- 
tion has located a thick seam of coal at this point. Salt wells have 
been bored at various localities along the valley, and from their crude 
records, handed down orally, a firm conviction is entertained by many 
of the best informed residents that a 7 feet seam of coal is within easy 
striking distance. There seems little to warrant such a belief, as the 
Middle Kittanning coal does not assume these proportions in this sec- 
tion of the State, but if 3 feet of it exist here of the character that it 
generally maintains, it will doubtless become a source of profit at no 
distant day. 
The Roger coal lies just above drainage through all this region. 
Its quality is fair, as is seen from the following analysis:
