hoped for as the entries are extended. The coal is iridescent (peacock 
coal), quite tender, and apparently, in all respects, a typical example of 
the Coshocton coal. The company is prepared to send a steady and 
large supply into the city of Cleveland, where it will undoubtedly estab- 
lish a place for itself as the Coshocton coal has already done in all of 
the markets that it reaches. 
Around the town of Coshocton are several banks which supply the 
town with coal. Prominent among these are the mines of

In Lafayette and Oxford townships, the areas of the Kittanning 
horizon are small on account of the extensive erosion of the Tuscarawas 
river and its chief tributaries. There are no important mines in these 
townships, and but few farmers’ banks, in comparison with other sec- 
tions of the county. 
In Linton township, the coal seam that we are following falls below 
drainage finally. It is, however, mined in a few localities. Near 
Jacobsport, quite a cluster of country banks is gathered, all of them in 
the Middle Kittanning seam, which does not exceed three feet in 
thickness. 
In the townships north of the river, there is but a feeble mining 
interest, and but little work was therefore done here by the Survey. 
In Crawford, but very little coal is mined. In White Eyes, an extensive 
area is occupied by the seam, but little is known as to its condition here, 
and much the same state of things is true in Adams township.
