tonia. The ore has a maximum thickness of 14 feet. Coaly streaks 
are distributed through the whole mass. Much of it is considerably 
weathered, and it splits into thin lamina, but the whole seam is taken 
for furnace use, and taken at the present time without calcination, being 
used raw in the furnace. The deposit is nearly exhausted. The inter- 
val from the Middle Kittanning coal to the blackband is here 118 feet, 
as obtained by a single measurement. A single analysis gives the 
following result: 
BLACKBAND FROM GRAFTON [RON Company’s Minz—OsnapurG TownsuHir. (AVERAGE

A small area has already been entirely worked out by the Burton 
Ridgway Company, of Massillon, from the intersection of sections 11, 
12, 13 and 14, on a farm now owned by Thomas Tinkler. The maximum 
thickness of the ore, as reported by Mr. Tinkler, who superintended 
the mining, was 18 feet and 11 inches. This is the highest measure 
recorded in the field. This body was also without cover, and the whole 
hill top was carried away in the workings. 
In Paris township, north of Robertsville, three small deposits have 
been worked for a number of years, at intervals. The ore does not 
rank as high in these areas as at some other points. The ore hills are 
known as the MeNutt, Wolf, and Shull banks, respectively. Their 
combined acreage is small. A considerable body of the ore is still left 
in these deposits.
