These borings are interesting from the number of alternations of rock 
which they exhibit, the absence of the Massillon sandstone—although it 
is seen in place a little above on the west side of the river—and the un- 
usual development of one of the thin coals over the lower seam. Subse- 
quent explorations have shown, however, that this occupies but a lim- 
tted area. 
At Fairview recent explorations prove that more coal exists than has 
been heretofore supposed, and the probabilities are that good coal terri- 
tory will be found stretching from this point south-east to the Tusca- 
rawas Valley. 
No search for the lower coal has been made, so far as I know, in the 
south-western portion of the county. The valley of Sugar Creek seems 
to offer a good field for such examinations, as it is cut down to within a 
hundred feet of the coal level over many squafe miles. The necessary 
examinations could be accomplished here at comparatively little cost. 
I subjoin a list of the principal mines in the Massillon coal district. 
A detailed description of them would occupy too great a space in this re- 
port. I also add analyses of the coal of different mines.
