BELMONT COUNTY. 569 
The coal seam No. 1 in this section corresponds nearly in geological 
- position with a seam forty-two feet above the tunnel seam at Barnesville. 
The next below, or No. 5, corresponds to the tunnel seam, and No. 16 with 
the seam first below the tunnel and the lower coal seam at Lewis’s Mills. 
At Barnesville these upper seams are all thin, and of no practical value. 
At Mr. Caldwell’s, the lowest, or No. 16, is mined to a limited extent. It 
is a coal of fair quality. 
The Cumberland, or four-feet seam, has been mined in the north-west 
corner of Washington township, on Bend Fork, and appears to have a 
dip to the south-east, corresponding to the dip of this stream. It is no- 
where more than a few feet above the water. Pieces of fossil silicified 
wood were occasionally seen in the bed of Bend Fork, having fallen from 
some stratum in the hill-sides, but their original place was not ascer- 
tained. 7 
WAYNE TOWNSHIP. 
This township hes west of Washington and south of Goshen. It is

Moore, section 17, as follows: |

13. Sandstone many feet thick, but the bottom not seen. 
(Map XIV., No. 17.) 
The sandstone below the coal forms the bed of Captina Creek for two 
or three miles. The cement limestone (No. 8 in the above section) is the 
same as that found at Warnock’s Station, on the Central Ohio Railroad.
