near the top of the highest ridge, and must be from 210 to 250 feet 
above the Meigs Creek coal. No reliable measure could be had. The 
coal gives a section very like the Meigs Creek coal; it is as follows: 
Clay shale roof, very poor.

This is probably a local thickening of one of the upper coals usually 
found as a mere mark or blossom. ‘This is the only opening found in 
the high coals. 
The Meigs Creek coal is due in all parts of Meigsville township, 
Morgan county, except when cut out by the creek valleys. 
In the extreme south-east corner, in Sections 35 and 36, the coal is 
from 3 to 3% feet thick, and near the level of the creek valleys. It is 
a little thin and irregular in the southern part of the township, but in 
the northern part is steady and in its usual thickness. 
In 8. W. ¢ Section 26, Meigsville township, on Hooper’s land, the 
coal was worked one winter, but found thin, and abandoned. In N. W. 
% Section 5, the coal has been opened, and reported a solid seam of 2 to 
2 feet. Through the northern part of Meigsville township two small 
coals are found below the Meigs Creek coal—one at 55 feet below, and 
12” to 20” thick, and the other 81 feet below the Meigs Creek, and 
found 20 inches thick. 
The lower one is probably the representative of the Pittsburgh 
seam. On Chas. Walker’s land, in S. E. ¢ Section 1, Meigsville town- 
ship, the coal gave the following section: 
Sandy shale.

The analysis given below shows a coal much better than the average: 
of this seam. There are a few clay veins found in this mine, but they 
are neither large nor frequent. The Meigs Creek coal is unusually free: . 
from such disturbances as clay veins and horsebacks. 
On Walker’s land a bank of cinders and clinkers found by the coal
