The greatest thickness found in the mines is 6 feet 9 inches. The 
seam is quite steady. The cover is light and the roof is troublesome 
and dangerous. ‘The coal finds use mainly in the production of steam. 
Mine No. 2 was worked in the same seam for a few months, but the 
coal proved uncertain and expensive to mine, and the workings were 
consequently abandoned. The thickness of the seam was 3% feet in 
its most regular portions. The mine was located in Section 5, Pleasant 
township. Other mines have been opened in the seam for local supply, 
but there is no inducement to extend their workings further at the 
present time. There is a considerable acreage that can hold the seam, 
but owing to its uncertainty, no calculations can be based upon it with- 
out careful proving of each particular area.
