THE LOWER COAL MEASURES. A201 
In York township there is one small shipping mine, and a large 
number of country banks now open in the Middle Kittanning seam 
(No. 6). The shipping mine is owned by H. Andermann, and leased 
to J. L. Edwards '‘& Co., who furnish all the coal used in the Dover 
Rolling-mill. A small amount is also sold to outside parties. A 
question exists as to the reference of this coal. It may be the Lower 
Kittanning seam. The coal is in good condition here. It is 4 feet 
thick, mines large, is clean and bright, and has no more than the usual 
proportion of sulphur. The sulphur band is constant throughout the 
district, and occasionally an extra parting occurs. The coal of this 
mine)burns with a white ash, but elsewhere the seam almost invariably 
leaves a purple ash. 
The structure of the seam in the township is fairly shown in the 
accompanying diagram :
