it is of good quality, but the deposit has not yet been shown to be very 
extensive. The shale over this coal contains a great number of yery 
beautiful impressions of fogsil plants. 
AUSTINTOWN. 
This has been proved to be one of the richest townships of the county 
in both coal and iron. It contains the southern extension of the Min- 
eral Ridge belt of mines, which have now produced a large amount of 
coal and blackband ore for many years. The principal mines of this 
series are: 
Todd & Wells Coal Co.’s shaft, the Junction Coal Co.’s shaft, Baldwin 
‘ Bros. slope, Harris, Maury & Co.’s shaft, the New Lisbon Coal Co.’s shaft, 
and Harroff Coal Co.’s slope. 
The sections of the strata overlying the coals as reported by the owner 
of the different shafts, present some interesting variations which are 
given below. The structure of the blackband basin, as indicated by the 
sections of the shafts of Morris and Price, Todd and Wells, and the Junc- 
tion Coal Company, is similar throughout, but the sections reported of the 
Pennell and Harroff slopes differ considerably from each other, and from 
those of the mines further north.
