Lick Run—Approximate capacity, 15-20 cars per day. 
Laurel Hill—A pproximate capacity, 10 cars per day. 
Johnson Brothers and Patterson—50 cars per day.

Old Floodwood Mine—B. B. Sheffield. 
Hamley’s Run Mine. 
In addition, the New Floodwood Mine, on the east side of the 
river, is now fully equipped for mining and shipping on the large scale, 
but.as yet it has done but little. It is a part of the property of the 
late Buchtel Iron Company. 
Of the mines in this list, that of Johnson Brothers and Patter- 
son will almost equal the combined capacity of the rest. It has 
shipped, in fact, 107 cars of coal, containing-1710 tons, in one day. 
This is the largest amount yet handled by an Ohio mine in a single 
day. 
This mine will be first described. It is located in Section 24, 
directly opposite Nelsonville, in what is known as Saltwell Hollow. 
The structure of the coal in the northern portion of the mine is 
shown below. This represents much the larger part of the area already 
worked. The later workings, however, are less favorable :

second hill, the seam is lower. The top bench is sometimes entirely 
cut out, but generally 8 to 10 inches of it are left. This reduces the 
seam to 34—44 feet in thickness. Its structure is shown below:
