Across the Killbuck, in the north-western corner of Hardy town- 
ship, is situated the Bowen mine, where coal has been dug for 50 years. 
For'the structure of the hills and of the coal seam, see Figs. VII and XV. 
The seam here averages about 4 feet in thickness, ranging from 3 to 43. 
The pyrite streaks shown in Fig. XV are not everywhere persistent. 
The lower bench is considered the best. 
Both benches thicken, and 
the quality improves where the seam is thickest, as reported. ‘Two 
analyses are given—one of the average run of the mine, and the other 
of picked samples: 
Middle Kittanning Coal, Bowen Bros., Hardy (Lord).
