The Barkhurst coal was also analyzed (see below.) 
Coal from Barkhurst’s and adjoining banks is used in McConnells- 
ville for ordinary domestic purposes. It is reported as making an 
enormous amount of ashes and clinkers when used in stoves. The 
analyses appended show the grounds for such charges.

No. 1. Savall’s coal, Sec. 1, Bloom township. 
No. 2. Barkhurst’s coal, Sec. 26, Bloom township. 
Morgan township, Morgan county, has the Meigs Creek coal in 
good force all through the eastern part, but it is thin in the river hills. 
It is mined for the McConnellsville market at a number of small banks 
in this township. It was measured on Abram Farris’s land, in N. W. $ 
Section 35, T. 7, R. 12, Morgan township, also on I’. Roberts and Alex. 
Offord’s lands, in same section, and on R. Whipple’s land, in Section 36, 
same township. In all these mines the coal ranges from 3 to 33 feet, 
with a tough streak or bone coal of 3” to 4” at the center of the seam. 
On E. Sherwood’s land, in S. E. 4 Section 19, T. 10, R. 11, Mor- 
gan township, the coal is found 36 inches thick, with no tough streak, 
but with 10 inches of poor coal at the top. The roof is shale, and 
stands well. 
On the hill just east of McConnellsville, a section was measured 
showing the position of both the Pittsburgh and Meigs Creek coal 
with regard to the Ames or Crinoidal limestone.
