A60 - GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
where it was once reached by a shaft near the station-house. The seam 
of coal about ninety to one hundred feet above the Pomeroy seam is there 
seen in the side hill forty-six feet above the railroad track. This seam 
is about four feet thick, but, unfortunately, contains near the middle a 
stratum of fire-clay from a foot and a half to two feet thick. At Philip 
Totnan’s, section 12, there are four feet six inches of coal, exclusive of the 
clay. Following the railroad east, we find this seam of coal about three 
feet above the level of the track. As this point is not far from the county 
line, we may here begin an examination of the strata seen as we ascend 
the railroad grade to Cutler Station. Bringing the separate portions into 
one section, it is as follows, in the descending order :

22. Coal, upper Big Run seam (not measured). 
Railroad track. 
It is possible that the limits of Decatur township may extend far 
enough west to take in the lowest coal of the above section, but it will 
necessarily be in or near the bed of Big Run. Where seen along the 
railroad, the coal seam No. 8 of the above section is very thin. This is 
the Hobson coal, of Wesley township, where the seam is worked. On 
the land of John Storts, section 17, a geological section was taken, which 
revealed about one hundred and thirty feet of strata, extending from a
