860 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
4 or 5 miles down from Roscoe. One-half mile south of Roscoe are 
the banks of Wm G. Moffat. At this place the Lower Kittanning coal 
is seen. 
Mr. Moffat has two banks, both of which are reached by inclines, 
the coal being run down into a tipple for wagons or over the canal. 
The coal is of good quality ; it presents this section :

_ The thickness ranges from 3’ 10” to 4’ 2’; the new bank has 
been opened with great care; is well timbered and drained; considerable 
land is accessible through this opening, and it will probably be active 
for some years to come. Another important opening in this township 
is that known as Prosser’s Bank. It is situated in the south-east 
corner of the township, in lot No. 1. It is now owned by Jones, 
Uffner and Jackson, of Coshocton. The mine is distant two miles from 
the canal, but it is connected with it by an iron track tramway. It has 
done in past years a large business on the canal, but it has fallen into 
decay, and will require considerable outlay to put it into good working 
order again. It is estimated that 10 or 15 acres of coal have been 
mined out here. The coal is said to average 4 feet in thickness, but 
access to the rooms was not practicable when the mine was visited. In 
the entry, near the bank’s mouth, the coal is 4 feet strong, and it is also 
4 feet 2 inches thick in an entry on the north-west side of the hill, on 
the Lillibridge farm. 
The largest workings of Jackson township remain to be named. 
The Coalport Coal Company has mined out 140 acres in a rectangular 
block, 80 rods wide, on the: east side of Section 21, and the Summit 
Coal Company has mined out 10 to 15 acres to the west of the Coalport 
workings, but connecting directly with them. 
In the Coalport mine, the coal was found an unbroken body, 
nowhere less than 3 feet 2 inches in thickness, and probably averaging 
3 feet 10 inches. The seam was somewhat reduced, however, to the 
northward, not showing more than 3 feet 6 inches at the end of the 
entry. In the Summit mine a thickness of 4 feet is claimed for some
