560 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
as compared with that of a large number of our most popular coals in 
southern Ohio; and this amounts, practically, to a very considerable 
saving. 7 
On the land of Hon. Isaac Welsh the Bellair or Wheeling seam is 
found in good development, and the one eighty to ninety feet above is 
reported to be four feet thick. The seam above the latter is found in the 
neighborhood, and has been mined by Mr. Helpbringer. There is an in- 
exhaustible supply of coal in this vicinity. : 
PULTNEY TOWNSHIP. 
This township is one of the eastern townships of the county. The 
McMahon Creek divides it into two nearly equal parts. On the land of 
J. F. Hutchinson, section 12, a geological section was made, which re- 
vealed the more important strata over the Bellair coal: 
Ft. In. 
1. Cement limestone, thickness not seen. 
2. Coal, reported a little below the limestone.

There are in the lower seam of coal two thin, slaty partings, thirty- 
fourand thirty-eight inches from the bottom respectively. The lower 
three inches of the seam are slaty, and contain fish remains and some 
imperfectly preserved shells. This coal is mined by Mr. Kidd, and ship- 
ped by the railroad. The coal possesses the usual characteristics of the 
Bellair or Wheeling coal. About twenty-eight feet above this coal is a 
thin seam, measuring two feet in thickness. The seam of coal about 
eighty feet above the lower or Bellair seam is reported to be four feet 
thick. It is not mined, the lower coal generally being preferred. In the
