In Brown township no opening upon No. 7 was seen, but the outcrop 
of the coal was observed at several localities near Waynesburg, and at 
each of these there were evidences of ore in connection with it. Through- 
out this vicinity it'lies one hundred feet above Coal No. 6, which is mined 
by Mr. R. B. Hamilton, near Waynesburg. 
The interval between Coals Nos. 6 and 7 varies greatly. Near Carroll- 
ton it is from forty to sixty feet; near Leesville, thirty-five; in northern 
Monroe township, sixty ; while in Rose and western Brown it is one hun- 
dred feet. The Mahoning sandstone, resting upon Coal No. 6, varies from 
six to thirty feet in thickness. 
_ Coal No. 6 is the important bed of the county, but, unfortunately, 1s 
available only along the valleys of the Conotton and Sandy Creek, which 
include portions of Brown, Union, Monroe, and Orange townships. In 
Union township, about one mile south from Carrollton, on the Indian 
Fork of Conotton, it is mined extensively to supply Carrollton. At Mr. 
John Moody’s bank the following section was obtained :

Total thickness of the coal, 4 feet 6 inches to 5 feet. 
This coal shows a considerable proportion of pyrites, both in seams and 
nodules. When exposed to the atmosphere, it soon becomes cevered with 
white streaks, but shows little tendency to disintegrate. No. 3 of the 
section is the best for burning, and is very clean. No. 5 has numerous 
streaks, but few nodules of pyrites. No. 7 is variable in thickness, but
