Throughout this township the limestone is found above Coal No. 8, and 
is about forty feet thick, with Coal No. 9 resting upon it. This limestone, 
and that below the coal, have been largely quarried, to be broken for 
roads. When so quarried it is always nodular. The color varies from 
light blue to dark gray. A specimen of the upper layer yields the fol- 
lowing upon analysis:

Wheeling Township.cThe general elevation of this township is about 
the same as that of Flushing. 
Along Wheeling Creek, which passes through its southern tier of sec- 
tions, the exposure is very fine, as the whole series from No. 8 to 12 can be 
observed without difficulty. Where the Cadiz road crosses the creek, near 
Mr. W. Ramage’s house, in section 30, Coal No. 8 is first seen in the bed of 
the creek. From this point down, the openings are very numerous, and 
the lower division averages about five feet. It is worked principally to 
supply the neighborhood and the village of Uniontown. Coal No. 8c is 
seen on the Cadiz road, near Mr. Ramage’s, at fifty-two feet above No. 8, 
and is said to be three feet thick. At the exposure in the road it appears 
to be thicker, but as it is not worked any where nothing definite can be 
said about it. Coal No. 9 is here of its usual thickness—two feet six 
inches—and has its characteristic parting in the middle. Coal No. 10 is 
much degraded, being only two feet eight inches thick, and not worked.
