The coal, No. 5, varies in thickness from two feet four inches to three 
feet two inches. . 
Coal No. 7 is nowhere of any value. On Mr. J. Proctor’s property 
section 22, it is a cannel coal of low grade, seventeen inches thick. On 
Mr. G. B. Leeper’s property, section 8, it is a rotten coal ten inches thick, 
and on Mr. Miller’s property it is poor and eighteen inches thick. 
Coal No. 7a is quite as variable as Coal No. 7, but has the advantage 
of occasionally becoming workable. At Mr. Miller’s it is ten inches thick, 
at Mr. Leeper’s fifteen inches, and at Mr. Proctor’s, in section 22, it is of 
workable thickness. At this latter locality we get the following section :

The shale above the coal contains some thin streaks of blackband, but 
so interstratified with barren shale as to be worthless. The layers of 
shale immediately above the coal bear many vegetable impressions, some 
of which are very beautifully preserved. The coal, No. 4 of section, is 
of very fair quality. 
In sections 18 and 19 salt is manufactured. The wells are four hun- 
dred and fifty feet deep, beginning at the level of Coal No. 6. No definite 
information could be obtained respecting the records. In section 18 Mr. 
J. Warden makes six barrels per diem, and in section 19 Messrs. Alex- 
ander & Ferbrache make five barrels. The brine averages five per cent., 
and the salt is of good quality, selling for two dollars per barrel. 
Cambridge Township.—Here the changes in the structure of the rocks 
are more marked than in any other township. Every thing seems to 
thin out excepting shale, which takes the place of coal, limestone, and 
sandstone almost exclusively. 
On Mr. Ford’s property, near the road from Liberty to Cambridge, and 
four miles north of the latter place, Coal No. 8 is worked to some extent 
in the winter. As the opening was full of water no examination was 
made, but Mr. Ford gave the following section of the coal:
