The high per cent. of ash is due partly to the mixing in of the top 
band, which is frequently rejected in mining. 
The Sharpless bank is located on the northern edge of Bedford 
township; the largest part of the good coal lies due south of this point, 
extending in an elongated area nearly to Tunnel Hill. In this district, 
there are many more openings of the coal, but none as important as 
those already mentioned. Nearly 700 acres of the best of this land 
was bought by a railroad line, which was to tap this coal years ago. 
One mine, known as the Wilcox and Osbourne bank, is kept open in 
the center of this tract; from it the following section was obtained :

The owners of the tract will be fortunate if this section represents 
the whole of their property. At this same place the Middle Kittan- 
ning coal (No. 6) is opened in an outlier, one of the westernmost in 
the county.
