The ‘clay veins” or “clay slips,’ as they are sometimes called, 
above referred to, constitute the most serious difficulty in the miner’s 
work in this bank. When he fires a shot at night, he is never certain 
that a half foot or more of clay will not be disclosed between him and 
his next day’s work. The Bodey coal ranges from 3 ft. 6 in. to 4 ft. 
5 in. in thickness. Its quality is as good as is anywhere found in this 
seam. | 
John Hinkle mines the same seam in the same neighborhood. 
His coal averages 3 ft. 4in. The coal of both banks is used for 
domestic supply in Canal Dover, for steam in the mills and factories of 
the town, and for salt boiling. It is also mined in the township by 
Henry Vogt, F. Lind, and Wm. Swaby. Lind’s mine takes both clay 
and coal, and the Swaby farm yields a greater variety of minerals than 
any other one tract in the county.. 
This seam has assumed but little importance so far.in any other 
portions of the county. It is often wanting in the scale, particularly 
in the western townships, and when present it is generally too thin to 
be worked to advantage. In York township a fine body of coal is 
probably to be referred to it, viz., the mine worked by Nicholas Winkler. 
This coal is 5 feet thick, has a waxy, resinous luster, and burns with a 
white ash. It is shipped to a small extent on the Wheeling and Lake 
Erie Railroad. It has an excellent name in the neighborhoods where 
it is known.
