HOCKING VALLEY COAL FIELD. 933 
The composition of the Upper Sunday Creek coal, from the Corning 
and Rendville district, can be seen from the following analyses: The 
coal of mine No. 13 was sampled in a room from the portions of the 
seam sent out. The coal of Rend’s mine, No. 5, was sampled in the 
same way. ‘The coal of mine No. 3 was sampled from the bank cars. 
These‘ mines all communicate with each other, and thus the three sets 
of samples may be counted as coming from different rooms of one mine. 
Upper Sunday Creek Coal (Lord). 
1. Mine No. 13, Corning, sampled from seam. 
2. Mine No. 5, Rendville, sampled from seam. 
3. Mine No. 3, Rendville, sampled from bank cars.
