272 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
In Jefferson township but very little coal is mined, but the two 
Kittanning seams are in the main persistent. The middle seam (No. 6) 
seldom fails, and it is worked in a few winter mines. The following 
list includes most of them:

All of these are red-ash coals of fair quality. The coals of the 
Kittanning horizon hold very close to the level of Stone Creek Valley, 
which is the railroad grade, through the part of the township traversed 
by it. | 
Salem township furnishes some of the most interesting and im- 
portant geological sections of the county. It is traversed by the Tus- 
carawas Valley, which is carried below the Kittanning horizon, and 
the highest beds of which reach to the Barren Measures. 
The Middle Kittanning coal is found here with its usual steadiness 
and constancy. It runs from 2 to 4 feet in thickness, as in the town- 
ships already traversed, and is the almost universal reliance of the 
community for the supply of fuel. It is or has been worked on almost 
every farm. The following named persons supply a little more coal 
than their neighbors, but there is not a shipping bank in the township:

This list might be much extended, but the range of the coal is 
well enough shown in these figures. The coal is universally a red-ash 
coal. It agrees entirely with the descriptions already given of the 
seam. |
