‘On Mr. D. Allen’s property, section 17, there is a fire-clay ten feet below 
Coal No. 8. Samples of this clay were sent to New Cumberland, West 
Virginia, to be tested. The brick which was made is an excellent one, 
and the clay proved itself very refractory. The bed is seven feet thick, 
and may be traced without difficulty. The result of analysis is as fol- 
lows:

In the extreme north-western portion of the township Coal No. 8 is 
again seen beyond the divide upon Little Short Creek. On Mr. McKin’s 
property it has been opened by Bracken and Lomax. It is there about 
four feet below the bed of the creek, and shows the following section:

At this opening sound coal had hardly been reached at the time of ex- 
amination, but the upper pyrites band is measurably persistent four 
inches from the top, and there appears to be much pyrites throughout the 
bed, as far as tested. In the tunnela “clay vein” occurs, covering ,the 
bed in a north-west and south-east direction, and dipping north-east. 
It is somewhat more than three feet thick. 
A short distance further down the creek the same bed is worked by Mr. 
A. H. Handel. The full section at this opening is as follows:
