horizon is exposed in the valleys of the South Fork of Jonathan’s Creek 
and its chief tributaries. Its structure is shown in the appended figures, 
which represent the coal from S. H. Penrod’s mine, on Section 7, and 
from Robert Moore’s bank, in Section 8.

These figures are sufficient to show the wonderful persistency of 
this seam in all the details of its structure. Its chemical character is 
equally fixed and stable. | 
The lower coal, No. 5, is at the disadvantage of lying a little too 
low in all the valleys to be worked to full advantage in farmers’ banks. 
It is almost everywhere below the level of high water, and in many 
cases below low water. If banks are opened in it, they can be reached 
only in the summer months, when least mining isto be done. This 
condition of things carries with it no disadvantage when mining is 
begun in any large and thorough way, but it is enough to discourage 
the only kind of work that now finds place here. Consequently this 
seam remains unproved in most of the township, but it is known to 
exist in workable volume on Sections 5 and 7, at least. Large and 
valuable basins of it can reasonably enough be looked for in this town- 
ship, inasmuch as such basins are known to exist in the adjoining terri- 
tory. 
Pleasant Township (Southern Tier of Sections excepted). 
The Middle Kittanning coal is exposed in the valleys that traverse 
the north-western sections of this township. The lower seam is nowhere 
above drainage. The Lower Freeport coal (No. 6a) has one of its best 
developments for this entire region at and about Moxahala, where it has 
been extensively, though not very successfully, worked. 
The main development of the Middle Kittanning coal in this 
township is along the line of the Ohio Central Railway, from Clay Bank
