grained than the remainder, but no distinction is made in the output. 
It becomes bone in parts of the mine and is then rejected. The bone 
ranges from 4” to 11”. Taken as a whole, the coal of this mine is said 
to have a larger proportion of the short-grained or curly coal than that of 
any other mine, and by this its adaptation to household use is ensured. 
The composition of the coal, as sampled for the survey, by Mr. 
Frederick Keffer, is shown in the following analysis by Professor 
Lord :

The seam carries a standard height of 4’, but it swells up in the 
swamps to 7 and 8 feet at times. 
Over a 14-inch screen, a bank car of 2,750 lbs. will lose 450 lbs., 
200 of which are slack, and 250 nut, but sometimes 2,400 lbs. of clean 
coal will be sent out on a car. 
One keg of powder is commonly required for 25 to 27 tons, making 
the cost to the miner from 10 to 15 cents per ton. 
MINES oF BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP. 
Three mines have recently been opened in Bethlehem township, 
the most southerly of the Massillon field. They are the Garfield and 
Rose Hill Shaft and the Beaver Run Slope. They are all in proximity 
to the village of Navarre, the first two being west of the Tuscarawas 
river, and the third being on the east side. 
The Garfield mine is operated by Oliver Young, of Elyria. The 
shaft is 112 feet deep. The coal holds the full thickness of the seam, 
being about 43 feet thick. The basin is a narrow one, and not more 
than 40 acres are known to belong to it. The coal inclines to a long 
grain, and is better adapted to steam production than to household use. 
The present output of the mine is about 250 tons per day. The coal 
goes out by the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling Railway.
