WASHINGTON COUNTY. A95 
Another section on the same stream was found to be quite similar, and 
at no point was the coal thick enough for profitable mining. To the 
east the coal grows thicker. On the land of Amos Dye, 2d, between 
Little Morse Run and Morse Run, we find the coal in four distinct layers 
separated by clay. The section here is as follows:

Clay (not measured). - 
The upper, thin coal is unusual, but traces of it are found in other 
townships. On the main run, sometimes called, I think, the Hast Fork, 
the seam is found to be from three and one-half to four and one-half feet 
thick, and is here mined with success to supply coal to the oil works on 
Cow Run. At the bank of Diarca Dye the coal seam at the outcrop is 
three and one-half feet thick, with a very coarse sandrock directly over 
it. At the bank of Wm. Carmichael, section 22, it is four feet thick. 
At Esquire Martin’s bank it is four feet. On John Pepper’s land it 
measures four and one-half feet. On the land of Mrs. Woemer the coal 
is reported to be nine feet below the bed of Morse Run. Generally there 
are a few feet of clay shale between the coal and the overlying sandrock, 
but there are exceptions to this. South of Morse Run the strata along 
the center of the uplift rise rapidly, and the coal under the heavy sand- 
rock becomes much thinner. About one-fourth of a mile above Mr. 
Reynolds’s, on the Little Muskingum, this coal is only ten inches thick, 
and one hundred and forty feet above the bed of the river. Here the 
dip on either side of the anticlinal axis is very marked, but it is gen- 
erally better seen on the western side. On Cow Run the “sandstone coal” 
is two hundred and forty-five feet above the bed of the run. Cow Run 
crosses the uplift in a nearly east and west course, and has eroded its 
channel to the usual depth of all the streams of the region, as deter- 
mined by the natural drainage. We find, therefore, in the center of the 
uplift on Cow Run strata not seen elsewhere (except in the Newell’s Run 
uplift, in Newport township), for they are quite below the general strati- 
graphical range of the county. If we may consider the lowest point
