No. 6 is here of good quality, and has been mined for many years. It 
is about three and one-half feet thick, with roof of black shale contain- 
ing a profusion of shells. 
The interval between this coal and the gray limestone below, is here, 
by barometer, thirty feet, five feet greater than at Mt. Haton, and is filled 
mainly with black shale. The limestone is two and one-half fe-t and 
can be traced eastward to Mt. HKaton, reaching a thickness of four and 
five feet, and furnishing a good quick-lime. The coal below rances in 
thickness from two to three feet, and is reported in places four feet. It 
is fairly good, containing a rather large am»unt of ash and often consid- 
erable sulphur. It will be mined for local domestic use, and for burning 
the limestone above it. On Charles Brown’s land, about one mile west 
of Mt. Eaton, it is a fair cannel coal of which about eighteen inches is 
exposed at the outcrop. 
Near the east line of Salt Creek township, Coal No. 3a is locally devel- 
oped, and at the Adam Hmig’s bank reaches a maximum thickness of 
nearly five feet. It is a dry coal, semi-cannel of fair quality, and is 
located a few feet only above the limestone. It is apparently wanting 
over the greater part of this territory. 
Coal No. 3 is somewhat persistent but varies greatly in thickness and 
character. Near the center of the north part of Salt Creek township a 
drift has been made into a hill where the coal, at its outcrop, was six feet 
in thickness, but in a distance of some fifty yards, was reduced to a knife 
edge according to the testimony of citizens of the vicinity. At Clark’s 
bank, near Fredericksburgh, it is two feet thick. In the south part of 
Franklin township, an opening has been made in this coal which is of 
fair quality, and three feet four inches thick, the limestone above having 
a thickness of five feet. 
On Daniel Rehm’s land, section eight, Salt Creek township, is the best 
exposure of this coal I have seen in the county. The following is a sec- 
tion at that place:
