THE NELSONVILLE REGION. 
The Nelsonville region is more varied in its characteristics than any 
other subdivision of the Great Vein territory. It embraces Ward and 
York townships and the extension of the Great Vein to the west of Ward 
and the south-east and west of York, where the coal either thins out, or 
is so deeply buried as to be unavailable for present uses. 
In the greater part of Ward township, the Great Vein coal has the 
same characteristics as in Salt Lick and the western part of Trimble 
township. It is every where above the drainage of the valleys, and only 
when approaching Nelsonville becomes thinner and more bituminous.

point a favorite domestic fuel, as it ignites more readily and burns with 
a rather larger flame. But those who have been accustomed to the dryer 
coal of Straitsville and Shawnee regard the latter as equally valuable for 
domestic uses. Whether the coal immediately about Nelsonville can be
