A like condition exists in the entries running westward. Little 
of value is found in the seam above the second slate. There is reason 
to expect that the seam will regain its normal volume before it is 
followed very far, in either direction, inasmuch as it is known to be of 
full measure in advance, but the reduction bears hard upon the present 
mining property. When the seam is thus cut down at the top, its 
average composition is improved thereby, all of the coal being below 
the second slate. | 
This body of coal is more disturbed by clay veins than the coal 
of most mines of the district, but no single one produces any great 
drawback or interruption. Its composition is shown in the following 
analysis. The analysis of Steenrod’s coal, the next mine to the south, 
is also given in the same table:

These figures show a good coal, fully up to the ordinary type of 
62 G.
