RICHLAND TOWNSHIP. 
Richland township lies for the most part north of Smith township, but 
a@ corner, containing nine sections, lies directly east of Smith, and is ° 
traversed by the Central Ohio Railroad. 
The Bellair coal is every where seen along the line of the railroad. 
At the tunnel, east of Glencoe Station, the seam shows very distinctly 
where it presents divisions quite similar to those found in the seam in 
the creek farther west. A section was taken at this point of such strata 
as were visible. Beginning on the hill, we find—

Near the tunnel are the “Meehan mines” of Mr. Owen Meehan, who 
ships considerable coal by the railroad. The coal has the bright, resin- 
ous appearance which-every where characterizes the Wheeling coal. 
The proximity of the coal to the road makes the location an admirable 
one for easy shipment. 
The following results of an analysis of a sample of the coal from the 
mines of Messrs. Stewart, Ball, and Meehan are furnished by Professor 
Wormley:
