The roof coal is here unusually well developed, and is taken down 
and used with the regular seam. ‘There is a large portion of Jefferson 
township with the Meigs Creek coal, but little of it is as thick as the Jast. 
section. The roof coal seldom exceeds 18” or 20” at other places. 
On the lands of Hugh Robinson, in 8. W. 4 Section 13, T. 6, R. 7,. 
Elk township, Noble county, the Meigs Creek coal was measured as.

There is a large area of the Meigs Creek coal in Elk township that 
could easily be reached by railroads traversing the Kast Fork of 
Duck Creek. 
The Meigs Creek coal is reported to be the same as the Stafford 
coal of Monroe county, but this was not investigated. There is a thin 
coal, about 60 feet below the Meigs Creek coal, through the northern 
part of the township. 
In Enoch township, Nuble county, the coal is high in the ridges, 
and the area of first quality coal therefore smaller than that of Jefferson 
and Elk townships. 
The Meigs Creek coal is found in two ridges, with their spurs 
running north-west and south-east through the township, and dividing 
the waters of the West Fork, Middle Fork, and East Fork of Duck 
Creek. 
No s¢ction could be found in Enoch township, but the coal was 
nowhere reported over 4 feet thick. A sample from the mine of Wm. 
Lincicome, in 8. E. ¢ Section 32, Enoch township, gave the following 
analysis:
