Pease Township.—In this township Coal No. 8 is extensively worked 
along the Ohio River, on Wheeling Creek, and near Kirkwoed. Coals 
Nos. 8c, 9, 10, and 11 thin out either altogether or so as to be traceable 
with the utmost difficulty, while Nos. 11 and 12 attain extraordinary 
thickness in the central portion of the township along the river. 
In the deep cut, on the road leading from Martinsville, is a coal nearly 
six feet thick, containing much pyrites, and evidently a very inferior 
article. It is slaty in structure, and resembles the low-grade cannel 
so common in the Coal Measures in Ohio. At this locality it is three 
hundred and twenty feet above Coal No. 8. On the property of Mr. W. 
J. Rainey, in section 13, it is four feet thick, and les about three hundred 
feet above Coal No. 8. On Captain R. Crawford’s property, near Bridge- 
port, it is seen three hundred and forty feet above No. 8. It is evidently 
of no economical value, and is Coal No. 12. 
On Captain Crawford’s place, at two hundred and forty-five feet above 
Coal No. 8, a bed three feet six inches thick is worked. The immediate 
section is:

The development of this coal, No. 11, is local. The ore overlying the 
coal is worthless, owing to the large proportion of sulphur. The coal
