COAL NUMBER SEVEN, OR THE STALLSMITH SEAM. 
From twenty-five to forty-five feet above the Norris coal is a seam 
which reaches a maximum thickness of between four and five feet, and 
is called, sometimes, the Four-foot coal, sometimes the Stallsmith seam. 
It is a bright, hard coal, with a resinous lustre, highly melting, and 
much prized for domestic uses. 
On the West Fork, near the town site of Buckingham, where, it has 
been mined by Mr. Benjamin Saunders, the following section is obtained :

The lower four feet is in one bench, and contains little visible sulphur, 
presenting the appearance of a strong, coking coal, of excellent quality 
for mining purposes. Mr. Stallsmith’s mine, south of Mr. Saunders’s, 
presents similar characteristics. 
Specimens from these two mines have been analyzed by Professor 
Wormley, with the following results:

These coals are not as persistent as the Great Vein, and there are much 
more rapid changes, both in the thickness and character of the coal. 
Above them, there are, in places, two and three thin seams, but at no 
point observed are they of any economic value, except at the village of 
Bristol, west of Moxahala, where the hills rise about 250 feet above the
