The coal is said to be five feet thick in the chambers, but these were 
full of water, and no opportunity was afforded for measurement. A 
specimen from this bank yields the following on analysis:

The same coal is worked extensively on the Central Ohio Railroad 
by Mr. H. L. Williams, who opens it by means of a shaft. The coal is 
shipped to various markets, and commands a ready sale at a fair price. 
Jefferson Township.—Though the soil here is very thin, yet the subsoil 
is so thick as to conceal the rocks, and exposures are very few. The 
Crinoidal limestone and Coal No. 7b were nowhere observed in the north-

worked. The hills are high enough in the north-eastern portion to catch 
Coal No. 8, but it was not opened. At one or two localities along Salt 
Fork it appears and is worked. 
On the property of Thomas Adams, in section 4, three miles from 
Salem, Coal No. 7a is worked, and there we have the following section :
