a screen of 14 inches between the bars. Of this amount, 3 are nut 
and the balancejslack. These figures are meant to express the average ; 
the range is considerable. The miner expects to send out 3 to 34 tons 
per day; the present price of mining is 85 cents for one-half the year, 
and 95 cents for the other half. The coal is not often followed below 
3 feet, and no allowance for a low seam is required. 
The cval is highly approved for household fuel and for steam 
generation. The top of the seam isa little more splinty in character 
than the remainder. Analysis shows the coal to be of admirable 
quality, and that it attains as high a standard of excellence as the coal of 
any mine of the Massillon field. The following results, obtained by 
the chemist of the survey, show on what foundation these claims rest. 
The coal was sampled by Mr. Frederick Keffer: 
Analysis of Coal of Lawrence Mine (Lord).

THE MINGLEWOOD MINE. 
The Minglewood mine holds a lease upon 600 or more acres of 
land in Sections 31 and 32. There are probably 100 acres of coal con- 
tained in this property, as indicated by the test drillings. The mine 
is newly opened, the first coal having been taken out in 1882. It is 
sending out, at present, about 200 tons per day, the entire product 
being taken by the Pittsburgh, Fort bee and Chicago R’y, which 
traverses the property. 
The coal appears here at its best, bright free from sulphur, and 
strong. The figures of the last analysis would doubtless apply to this 
mine as well. It exceeds, as far as worked, 4 feet in average thickness, 
ranging from 3/ 8” to 5’. The face runs N. 20° E. 
The nut coal and slack are washed at this mine, the only instance 
of this sort in the Valley. The work is done at small expense, the 
mine water being used for this purpose. All the dust is removed, and 
much of the slate also. The apparatus is ingenious, simple and 
effective. ‘The process well deserves a wide application.
