which is said to be a coal bed two feet thick; and it is about ninety feet 
below another coal seam eighteen feet thick, struck near Mr. Endsley’s 
house, over which the hill still rises some seventy or eighty feet. The 
bed worked is three feet nine inches thick, less a seam it contains of six 
inches of pyritous fire-clay. The roof is black shale, of which five feet 
are exposed. The coal is in good repute for domestic uses, but does not 
answer for blacksmiths. It is said to be the only coal bank opened in 
Bethlehem township. The following analysis of Endsley’s coal has been 
made by Dr. Wormley:

Thomas Elliott’s coal-bed, just over the line in Clark township, is 
probably a continuation of Wndsley’s. It is two feet ten inches thick 
under a black shale roof, the shales abounding in fossil shells, but too 
fragile for preservation. ‘The coal appears to be too pyritous to be of 
much value. The other beds we did not succeed in finding. Onthe high 
lands, north-east from the mill at the great bend of the Killbuck, we 
heard, after having left this part. of the township, of a coal-bed being 
worked, which, from its elevation, we suppose to be No. 6. These north- 
ern townships seem to be the most hilly and uncultivated in the county. 
They lie along the heads of many of the branches of the Tuscarawas, - 
and the general course of the streams is not far from the dip of the strata. 
The greater elevation of the plateau in this region accounts for the oc- 
currence of the higher coal-beds in the summits. Though unusually 
hilly and rough, the surface exhibits few outcrops of the coals and lime- 
stones for long distances. From the bend of the Killbuck, north-east, 
toward Bloomfield, the road ascends three hundred and fifty feet in the 
first mile. The first coal outcrop observed is about two miles south-west 
from Bloomfield; just after crossing the small branch of the Killbuck, 
running on the Waverly shales. This must be the outcrop of Coal No. 
1. Descending toward Bloomfield, on the other side of the summit, the
