The relations of the Salineville coals to those of the lower portion of 
the valley, and to those of the surrounding country, have been shown by 
several lines of observation radiating from this point. 
Following up the valley of Yellow Creek, Coal No. 7 (the Salineville 
Strip Vein) may be traced into the edge of Carroll county, where it is 
conéealed for a short distance by the shales of the Barren Measures. It 
reappears in its true relative position and character on the waters of Big 
Yellow Creek, near Mechanicstown and Scroggsville, and is there worked 
in several mines. Thence it may be traced down Big Yellow Creek, 
through. the northern part of Jefferson county, and connected with the 
coals ofsHammondsville and all the lower portion of the valley. 
Going:north from Salineville toward New Lisbon, the road passes over 
a divide, of which the summit is three hundred and fifty feet above 
‘Saliheviile ‘Station. This ridge is composed altogether of the strata of» 
the Barten Measures, mainly red and gray shales, with two thin coals (7a 
and Dy and the Crinoidal limestone, all in their proper places with 
reference, to Coal No. 7, the limestone lying two hundred and forty feet

Descending - -the divide toward the north, and coming down into the 
valley of the West” Fork of Little Beaver, near Garver Post-Office, we find 
and,two, goals, the upper two feet eight inches to three feet thick, of ex- 
-cellent quality, and resembling the Salineville Strip Vein. The second 
seam, some sixty feet lower, is not well shown where first seen, but 
: further down the-stream, toward and at West Point, both these coals out- 
_ crop, and are worked at’ numerous localities. Beneath the lower one, 
which is “five feet in thickness, and separated from it only by the fire- 
clay; i is a limestone. This coal can be traced north and east from this 
point to the limits of the.connty, and is distinctly recognized everywhere 
as the Bt Vein. --It-is-our Coal--Ne. 6, the Upper Freeport coal of Penn-
