COLUMBIANA COUNTY. 125 
_ A few feet. below is Coal No. 3, from three to four feet in thickness, 
rather soft and sulphurous; its limestone lies just above it. 
At Salem the railroad station is six hundred and twenty feet above 
Lake Hrie, and the hills on the south rise considerably higher. These 
contain Coal No. 6 from three to five feet in thickness, but it is sparingly 
mined and only for local use. Its limestone is found under it, and is 
conspicuously shown on the road from Salem to New Lisbon. Within 
the town limits of Salem a shaft has been sunk to the depth of two 
hundred and seven feet. The section obtained is as follows:

In the above section the Leetonia ooal is the first workable seara pene- 
trated. it is here similar in character to what it is at Washingtonville 
and Leetonia, but somewhat less pure. The thicker coal below is of 
inferior quality, containing more sulphur, but serves a good parpose for 
steam and household use. The upper coal has been quite largely coked, 
but has not preduced a fuel equal in quality to that made at Leetonia, 
and the working of the mine has, for this reason, been temporarily sus- 
pended. The use of the coal taken from the Salem shaft has also been 
limited by the sale in the town of the coal mined at Albany, in the 
edge of Mahoning county. The latter coal is the Leetonia seam, here of 
unusual thickness and excellence. It is to be regretted that the boring 
which preceded the sinking of the Salem shaft had not been carried
