Sth. In the west half of fraction 18, Dover township, the Burge or 
Bayley’s Run well, in which the coal was struck at seventy-seven feet 
from the surface, and eight feet two inches thick. 
At the Blonden well a shaft has been sunk, and the accuracy of the 
observations by boring, verified. The coal is disclosed here with all the 
characteristics of the very best grade of this coal, and of the same thick- 
ness as indicated by boring. 
The section of the coal at the shaft is as follows:

The two feet of splint coal is very dry, being pure and free from sul- 
phur. . 
The cannel coal has a larger percentage of ash than the ordinary 
Great Vein coal, but in other respects is of equal purity. Professor 
Wormley’s analyses of it gives the following results:

The coal of the two lower benches is not excelled by any in the Great 
Vein region. Jt is much more laminated in its structure, with more 
mineral charcoal than in any other parts of the Great Vein region, much 
of it in external appearance greatly resembling the best laminated 
specimens of the Briar Hill coal. It will be more open burning than the 
average of the Great Vein. 
The following condensed tables of analyses, made by Prof. Wormley 
and reported by Prof. Andrews, in a pamphlet on “The Lower Sunday 
Creek Valley,” with analyses of the Ashiand (Ky.) coal, and the Brazil 
(Ind.) coal will give a comparative idea of the character of this coal. 
The table, No. 1, gives the average of five analyses of coal from these 
five wells. | 
No. 2 gives the average of the analyses of thirty-two samples of this 
seam in the other parts of Sunday creek.
