In each of these openings the coal is of good quality. 
Londonderry Township.—Along the road from Antrim to the National 
Road the openings in Coal No.8 are quite numerous. Mr. Dallas McPeak, 
in section 27, has it varying from three feet six inches to four feet. The 
pyrites band in the upper bench is two inches thick. The coal is good, 
but the bed is much broken up by ‘“‘horsebacks,” both from above and 
from below, as well as by “clay veins” of considerable size. In openings 
belonging to Messrs. Mack & Barrett, in sections 28 and 29, there is a 
sandstone “horseback” running north-east and south-west thirty-five feet 
through, and resembling the sandstone above. The coal is about four 
feet thick. At Mr. Campbell’s bank, in section 28, the coal is cut by 
several “clay veins,” averaging one foot thick. Mr. Enoch McPeak’s 
opening, in section 35, is almost the last exposure of the coal to the west. 
From all of these banks coal of good quality is obtained for the supply of 
an extensive district at the west. 
In the south-eastern portion of the township Nos. 8 and 10 are well ex- 
posed but little worked. Mr. John Dunbar has made an opening on No. 
7b, but found it worthless. On the Stillwater Mr. Smith has opened No. 
7a, and found it nearly four feet thick. The upper two feet yield very 
poor coal, but that from the bottom is of moderately good quality. 
Washington Township.—Like Wills township, this lies wholly in the 
barren interval between Nos. 7a and 8. The only coal here is No. 78, 
which is very thin, and consequently not worked to any extent. The 
single opening seen is near the school-house on the Birmingham and 
Freeport road, not far from its junction with the Antrim road. The 
Crinoidal limestone was observed at several points, where its fossils 
weather out in good condition. 
Monroe Township.—Coals Nos. 7 and 7a are seen here, and the latter is 
worked to some extent in the eastern portion. At New Birmingham the 
following section was obtained:
