304 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
The two partings shown above always characterize the seam. 
Though it meets the demands of home consumption, it would probably 
show a high per cent. of ash on analysis. 
In Bedford township, south of Jefferson, the coal still presents one 
of its most useful phases. Its development falls off from the center of 
the township southward, just about as No. 6 coal begins to be of some 
service. There are no banks of No. 4 coal east of Bedford township. 
On the farms of Elias Norris, Jacob Adams (2 banks), Ethan Wright, 
James Hardman, Elizabeth McCullah, and James H. Pigman, Bedford 
township, this coal is opened and worked. It runs from 3’ 3” to 3/ 9”, 
and everywhere exhibits the same structure as seen in Fig. VI. 
It is a fairly good coal, but yields considerable ash of a white color; 
it mines freely with use of powder. No analyses were made of it. It 
is everywhere found under a heavy bed of Gray limestone. The follow- 
ing section illustrates its position with reference to the Mercer group:

Sections illustrating these relations can be repeated indefinitely. 
These developments of the Brookville coal, small and local as they are, 
are of a much more profitable character than this vein usually NOIR: 
Stark county is the only one which puts it to a wider use.
