STARK COUNTY, 165 
There are many other mines—the “Grove,” the “Brookfield,” the 
“Mountain,” the “Stoffer,” the “‘ McCue,” ete.—of which I have no de- 
tailed report.

Some doubt has been expressed among the residents of Massillon 
whether the coal that crops out at Bridgeport is identical with that 
worked elsewhere in this vicinity. It is thinner, and hes somewhat 
higher than that in most of the neighboring mines. Still its physical 
eharacter and composition, as well as its relation to the associated rocks, 
seem to prove that it is really Coal No. 1. A similar phase of the Mas- 
sillon coal is seen in the mine of the German Coal Company, just north 
of the stone quarry of Warthorst & Co., at Massillon Here, also, the 
eoal is thin, very much laminated, and even somewhat slaty. This 
peculiarity of structure I have been inclined to attribute to the fact that 
the coal seam in these two mines is overlain by a great mass of sand- 
stone, which, when all the materials were in a soft and plastic condition, 
must have pressed down upon the coal in such a way as to reduce its 
thickness and give it its laminated structure. Borings made in the 
vicinity of Bridgeport and Massillon have failed to find any lower seam, 
and it is scarcely possible that there should be another below that mined. 
The section at Bridgeport is precisely what it should be if the Bridgeport coal 
were Coal No. 1. The elements which compose it are as follows:
