270 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
fine when blasted, and consequently the miners dislike to meet it in 
their workings. The coal of this mine is shipped by canal, exclusively, 
to the Cleveland market. The front hills are largely worked out under 
the ridge, and long underground hauls are necessary. 
The Pike Run mines Nos. 1 and 2, the latter of which is also 
known as the Brock Hill mine, are by far the largest of the county. 
The structure of their coal is indicated in the following figure, with 
the qualifications already made:

These mines belong to the Tuscarawas Valley Coal Company, 
O. Young, Manager, Elyria, Ohio. They employ 225 men, and are 
shipping from 400 to 600 tons daily. The coal, like that of the last- 
named mine, is coated to quite an extent with calcite capping. The 
mines of this company are in excellent order. Ventilation is secured 
through a Champion fan, and the air is said to be as good as in any 
mine of the State. 
There are in addition several other mines in the township, as the 
Walton Ridge mine, the Goshen Salt Well mine, the Groff mine, the 
Jones mine, and other smaller banks, but the statements already made 
cover fairly well the whole ground. 
The coal of Warwick, Mill and Union townships deserves to be 
treated in the same connection with the Goshen coal, as all constitute 
but a single field. Mining has been extensively carried on in all these 
townships, along the lines of the railroads and canal, in past years, and 
the front hills are in many cases worked out. There still remain large 
areas of excellent coal lands, but a little less accessible than those por- 
tions already used. It is probable that the finest body of coal not yet 
reached in this district is to be found in Union township.
