The 12 inches of coal nearest the bottom is counted the best. 
Analysis shows that the high estimate placed on the seam is not without 
warrant. Its average composition is shown below:

The upper coal is well shown on the farm of Samuel Creighton, in 
Rose township, 2 miles southeast from Magnolia. A mine is opened in
