No slaty coal is here seen on top. Streaks of pyrites are not uncom- 
mon in the upper bench, but they are thin and not persistent. The 
thickest is one foot and one-half below the roof, and one inch thick. The 
coal is regarded as exceedingly good, and some rude attempts have pro- 
duced a coke of apparently fair quality. A specimen of the coal yields 
the following:

The same bed is worked by Oscar Riney in section 8 and by Mr. Waters 
in section 9, also by Mr. Lawyer, near the road from Otsego to Liberty. 
Its thickness in these banks is nearly four feet.
