This cannel coal has been opened in several places north and east of 
this locality, but has proved impure and of little value. 
At Lynchburg a coal seam is opened, which is apparently No. 6. The 
section there is as follows:

At Sylvester Reeder’s mine, by the old canal in Hanover, the coal lies 
about twenty feet above Hanover Station. The section here is as fol-

At the canal bridge, near this mine, a limestone is said to have been 
cut through, in building the canal, about thirty feet below the coal. 
The same coal as that worked by Reeder is opened on B. Petit’s farm, 
lot thirty, Hanover. It is here about four feet in thickness, and has a 
slate parting:near the middle. In the fire-clay which underlies it is 
another thin seam of coal, as at Somerville’s mine. 
On Mordecai Miller’s farm, lot thirty, is an outcrop of limestone forty 
feet above the coal worked, which is the same with Reeder’s and Petit’s, 
and probably No. 6. Just beneath the limestone is a seam of coal, but of 
what thickness could not be ascertained. This is possibly Coal No. 7, 
here unusually near No. 6, and having a limestone over it, as it generally 
does in Stark county. | 
At the mine of John Burton Coal No. 6 is four and a half feet thick, 
the roof is shale, overlain with sandstone, and in one of Burton’s open- 
ings the sandstone descends and cuts out the coal. In the cut at the 
railroad summit the rock exposed is mainly gray shale; this includes, 
however, a thin seam of coal and a band of limestone. Possibly these 
may represent the horizon of Coal No. 7, which, in all this region, is thin
