resting upon it, and only twenty feet below Coal No. 4. At Liberty the

Coals Nos. 9 and 10 are not worked, and No. 9 is seen only in the south- 
eastern portion of the township. The limestone below No. 9 is also con- 
fined to the same locality. 
Along the Central Ohio Railroad Coal No. 8 is worked to some extent 
near Bailey’s Mills, near Spencer’s by Mr. Flood, near Quaker City by 
Mr. Gildow, and near Salesville by Mr. Brill. At all of these openings 
the sandstone comes down upon the coal, usually without any interven- 
ing shale, and occasionally cutting out the coal so as to form sandstone 
horsebacks. In an opening made by Mr. Webster, just west of Quaker: 
City, one of ‘these was encountered, and is so extensive that the opening: 
was deserted. The quality of the coal is fair, doing well enough for: 
domestic use, but containing too much pyrites to be of commercial value.. 
The limestone below No. 8 makes a good, strong lime. The Crinoidal. 
limestone is well exposed in railroad cuts, both east and west of Quaker: 
City, as well as at Salesville. 
Wills Township.—This township lies wholly in the peculiarly barren. 
portion between No. 7a and No. 8. At no point are the hills high enough 
to catch No. 8, nor are the valleys excavated deeply enough to reach No..
