stone group with the coal gradually thins out to the north and disap- 
pears—at least it was not seen in the vicinity of Caldwell, in Noble 
county. 
On Pawpaw Creek, a branch of the Hast Fork of Duck Creek, the lime- 
stone group is seen for several miles. It is also seen on Coal Run, a 
branch of Pawpaw, coming in from the north. The coal accompanying 
this group has been mined in small quantities at several points, two or. 
three banks having been opened near the village of Salem. 
A section taken in the hill back of Salem village is as follows:

On Pigeon Branch of Whipple’s Run, on the Moses Blake farm, near 
the south line of Salem township, the coal is for the most part cannel, 
and has been mined to some extent and taken to Marietta. It burns 
freely in the grate, but the percentage of ash is too great to make it a 
desirable fuel. To the north this coal reverts to the usual type of bit- 
uminous coal. Such changes are not uncommon, and show that cannel 
coal is only a local modification of a seam of bituminous coal. A sample 
of the bituminous coal of the ‘limestone seam,” taken from the Coal 
Run Branch of Pawpaw Creek, was analyzed by Prof. Wormley, with the 
following result:
