The limestone of the above section does not appear on Mr. Storts’s 
land, but a mile down the creek. The coal of this section is worked at 
various places in a small way. On Mr. Burnett’s land, north of Mr. 
Storts’s, the coal is mined and found to be about the same as at Mr. 
Storts’s. At Root’s Mill the seam is worked. It has been obtained by 
stripping on Gilbert’s Run, on the land of Esquire Newell, section 16, 
and on the land of Mr. Branderberry, fraction 23. Mr. Milton King, sec- 
tion 2, has dug the coal from the bed of a small tributary of Little Hock- 
ing. He found its thickness only two feet. 
FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP. 
This township lies north of Decatur and east of Wesley. It is chiefly 
drained by the Little Hocking, but the northern region of the township 
is drained by a tributary of Wolf Creek. There is considerable smooth 
land, but it is intersected by the deep ravines of the head branches of 
Little Hocking. None of these ravines are eroded to a sufficient depth | 
to reach the Cumberland seam of coal, but the Hobson coal is exposed. 
On the land of Pitt Goddard, fraction 7, the following section was ob- 
tained :

No seam of coal was seen higher than this. There’is little of interest 
to the geologist in this township. There are many excellent farms, and
