274 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
Union Township.—Coal No. 8 was nowhere satisfactorily observed in this 
township, and the land rises so high that this is probably reached at few 
points, the more so as in its eastern portion No. 8a occupies the level of 
No. 8. The National Road here lies for the most part from one hundred 
and fifty to two hundred feet above Coal No. 10, which is the important 
bed. The section from near Morristown, on the National Road, to a branch 
of Spencer’s Creek, the lowest point in the township, is as follows:

At Mr. J. Shepherd’s bank, section 26, Coal No. 10 shows a thickness 
of four feet six inches, and the roof coal is not exposed. The coal is very 
hard and brilliant, frequently irised, and containing layers of semi- 
cannel. It burns freely, and is a good coal for domestic use. This coal 
is worked in section 22 by Mr. J. Crozier. At Mr. Isaiah Lee’s bank, in 
section 25, the coal is largely worked to supply Morristown. It there 
gives the following section:

Mr. Lee works only the middle bench. It contains no clay veins, and 
the horsebacks are few and of limited extent. Near the topa few streaks 
of pyrites are seen, and nodules are not rare. A specimen furnishes the
