Mr. John Hubbell has a shaft:on the same farm to reach this coal. I 
suppose the seam to be essentially as reported by Mr. Shaw in the above 
section. Immediately above the coal fifteen feet of blue shale are re- 
ported, and above this fifteen feet of limestone. The place of the Hob- 
son seam is about one hundred feet above the coal last mentioned. A 
thin seam in this horizon was seen in the hill-side by the road-side north 
of Coal Run village, under a heavy white sandrock. A section at this 
point is proximately as follows:

The heavy white sandrock may be worthy of attention as a material 
for glass-making. Selected portions would certainly be fine enough. 
Some of it would, I think, answer an excellent purpose for hearthstones 
for furnaces. The upper coal seam is of no value here, and probably no- 
where in this region. In some of the townships south-west it is the 
only seam found, but it is too thin for profitable mining. 
Several years ago portions of the skeleton of a huge mammoth were 
dug up in the village of Beverly. Several large teeth in excellent pres- 
ervation were found, and much of the skull; but the latter being some- 
what crumbling, after being kept for a time was thrown into the street 
and crushed under wagon-wheels. As no skull of the mammoth has 
ever been obtained in this country, so far as I know, the destruction of 
this skull was a very serious loss to science. One of the teeth is pre- 
served in the cabinet of Marietta College. <A fine specimen of a shoulder- 
blade of a mammoth was obtained by Dr. Bowen, of Waterford township, 
from another location farther up the river, which he generously depos- 
ited in the same cabinet. I have known of portions of quite a number 
of different individuals of this extinct species of elephant which have 
been found in Washington county. While the mammoth roamed here 
in considerable numbers, I have not known of the finding of any bones 
of the mastodon. In some parts of the West, on the other hand, the
