LICKING COUNTY. 357 
In Fallsburgh township are several outcrops of the limestone which 
caps this coal, and it is there ninety feet above the lower coal, but 
there is no indication of any workable coal beneath it. 
The coal marked in the general section as from twenty-five to thirty- 
five feet below the cannel, shows faint outcrops in many places in Hope- 
well township. Many of the hills in Franklin and Fallsburgh are high 
enough to reach it, but there is no probability of its furnishing here any 
valuable coal. 
Coal No. 1 is, in several localities in the county, of sufficient thickness 
to be mined for local consumption. In some places it rest upon a thin 
bed of the Carboniferous Conglomerate, in others upon the olive shales 
of the Waverly ; a bed of fire-clay and a thin stratum of shale being 
sometimes interposed between it and these rocks. In Madison township, 
about two miles south-east of Newark, about two hundred tons of this 
coal have been taken from Dr. Wilson’s mine. The coal, as far as work- 
ed, was of fair quality, and reached a thickness of thirty inches. Near 
this point, a shaft sunk through the coal disclosed the including strata 
as follows:

3. Conglomerate. 
On this hill the limestone of the cannel coal is, by barometer, one hun- 
dred feet above Coal No. 1. 
On the south-east quarter of section 1, Hopewell township, entries 
have been carricd into this coal where it is reported to be from eighteen 
to twenty inches thick. 
On Lewis Baker’s land, Mary Ann township, it is found near the top 
of the hill, and where opened, ranges in thickness from one and a half 
to two feet. The Conglomerate here appears in bed a few feet below it. 
On Wesley Painter’s land, in the west part of Fallsburgh township, 
Coal No. 1 has about the same thickness, and the including strata are as 
follows:

At an opening on Jacob Priest’s land, in Fallsburgh township, this 
coal is from two and a half to three feet thick, in two benches; is bright 
and hard; a very good coal; but containing a rather large percentage 
of sulphur. On the whole, this is the best exposure of Coal No. 1 ob-
