This bed runs out in the hills to the north and west of Frazeysburg. 
Towards the north-east it rapidly thins out, and along Irish Ridge can be 
traced only as a black streak under the limestone. 
Coal No. 3 is nowhere of any value, and is seldom more than ten inches 
thick. 
Coal No. 2 shows itself near Mr. William Morgan’s house, on the West 
Carlisle road. An opening was made here and pushed for some distance 
into the hill without finding good coal. The bed was found thirty inches 
thick. At another opening by the road-side the thickness is only eigh- 
teen inches. 
Coal No. 1 has been worked at various points along Waukatomaka 
Creek, in the north-western portion of the township. It is thickest on 
Mr. Joseph Willey’s property, in section 8, where the following section 
was obtained:

The coal from Nos. 3 and 7 is said to be of most excellent quality. Mr. 
L. W. Doane, who superintended the oil-boring near by, asserts that it is 
entirely free from sulphur, and is the best blacksmiths’ coal he ever saw. 
The cannel is very poor and little better than bituminous shale. It 
abounds in vegetable remains, some of which are exceedingly fine. Mr. 
Doane has obtained slabs of Lepidodendron and Sigillaria two to three feet 
square. The dip eastward here is quite sharp, being five feet in one 
hundred yards. At none of the other openings in this neighborhood 
does the coal exceed two and one-half feet in thickness, and sometimes 
is less than two feet. Unfortunately all the banks have been deserted for 
one or two years, so that it was found impossible to obtain specimens for 
analysis. 
The ore beds of importance here are two. The lower rests almost di- 
rectly upon the Conglomerate, while the upper is always more or less in-
