Coal No. 6 only is mined here, as No. 5 ylelds a coal of too poor 
quality to be marketable. Near this locality a cannel coal, probably 
Coal No. 4, is seen in the bed of the creek, and is eighteen inches thick. 
The two beds, 6 and 5, are seen on the property of Moses Robinson, and on 
that of Messrs. Fisher and Mangold, near the Adamsville road. They are 
each three and one-half feet thick, but the upper one alone is now 
worked. No. 5 was formerly mined by stripping, on Mr. Moses Robin- 
son’s property, near the school-house. About eight miles north from 
Zanesvilie, Mr. David Matthews mines Coal No. 6, which shows —

The coal above the parting is very pure and makes an excellent coke, 
very compact and handsome. Two coking ovens were in use at the time 
of examination, and two more were being built. Below the parting the 
coal is very poor, and often two-thirds of it is pyrites. Streaks of pyrites 
occur occasionally in the coal above, but are very thin and not extensive. 
Mr. Matthews ships about sixteen hundred tons per month. A specimen 
of his coal yields the following:
