COAL MINES OF NORTHERN PERRY COUNTY. 893 
Putnam Hill limestone, which is well developed throughout the town- 
ship. The limestone can be readily obtained in large enough quantities 
to meet all local demands. 
Clayton Township. 
Hitherto, the coal of this township has been available only for 
local supply, but the extension of the line of the Columbus and Eastern 
Railway through the central portions of the township is opening a field 
of much promise. Unlike the township last described, both the Kit- 
tanning coals are in fine development here, the upper holding the same 
characters that have been previously assigned to it, and the lower seam 
rivaling it in value. From present appearances, one of the valuable 
basins of the Lower Kittanning coal in Central Ohio is likely to be 
found here. | 
A section representing a considerable part of the township is to be 
found on the lands of J. S. Nixon, near Rehoboth. It is as follows:

The Kittanning coals are due in nearly all parts of the township. 
Both are worked in farmers’ banks in at least three-fourths of the 
sections. ‘They are wanting altogether in but two Sections, viz., 6 and 
7, but in Sections 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 17, they have but little area and value.
