574 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
The strata for twenty feet below are hidden, and then succeeds a bed of 
massive sandstone, from thirty to forty feet thick. On Crawford’s land, 
nearly a mile to the north, two coal outcrops are seen in two neighboring 
runs. One is of a coal bed about thirteen inches thick, directly under 
gray limestone, apparently only two inches thick, and one hundred and 
ten feet below the level of coal No. 6. In the other run, at twenty feet. 
lower level, is a bed of coal three feet thick, of which the upper portion 
is cannel, and the lower partly cannel, and partly bright coal. No lime- 
stone is exposed near the coal. It would appear that these two coal out- 
crops are continuations of the beds on the south side of the hill, though 
they are ninety feet higher, and nothing is seen of the great mass of 
limestone that there lies between them. The coals are probably the rep- 
resentatives of Nos. 3 and 4, and the limestones that overlie these have 
here run together. The unusual high elevation of Coal No. 6, on the 
south side of the hill, may be a barometrical error. The dip, which is 
certainly very great here, would account for a part, at deast, of the dis- 
crepancy in the height of the coal above the two eutcrops of limestone: 
on the opposite sides of the hill.

OCrawferd.—Beside the coal banks on the edge of Mill Creek township, 
there appear to be none worked in Crawford. The outcrop of coal was 
observed on the north line of the township, near New Bedford, but over 
all the rough country from thence to Chili, through the centre of the 
township, no one appears to have given any attention to obtaining coal 
elsewhere than from the locality in the south-west corner, already de- 
scribed. It is probable that No. 6 disappears to the north, rising faster 
than the surface of the country in this direction, and the lower beds have 
not been found worth working. Wood has not yet become expensive as 
fuel, and the demand for coal is not sufficient to render it an object to 
search for it. 
Newcastle—The northern half of this township is in the Waverly, ex- 
cepting only the upper part of the hills in the north-east quarter. The 
highest lands near the town of Newcastle, on the south side of the Wal- 
honding, are about four hundred and twenty feet above the bottoms of
