578 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
epened in the township, is that of James C. Endsley, close to the line of. 
Clark, and already noticed in the account of that township. It is pro- 
bable that Coal Bed No. 14, may be found of good size and character in 
the extreme south-west corner, as if is worked in the north-west corner 
of Jackson. 
Keene.—T he eastern half of Keene township has several openings of 
Coal No 6, which appears to be the only bed now worked. That of Thos. 
Davis, in the north east corner, has been referred to in the account of the 
coal beds of Mill Creek. In the southern part of the township, James 
Boyd has worked the same bed to considerable extent, by three openings 
on his farm, about one and a half miles north from Lewisville. The bed 
lies about 150 feet above tho level of the canal at Lewisville, and 100 feet 
below the summit of the hill. The canal is about on the same level as 
the railroad at Coshecton. Fifty feet above this, is an outcrop of the 
gray limestone, near Lewisville. In one of the openings, the coal is 
found three feet nine inches thick, with a parting seam of either fire- 
clay or: pyrites, three inches thick, nime inches above the floor. In 
another, on the west side of the same hill, the bed is four feet thick, 
including four inches of fire-clay, eight inches above the bottom. The 
overlying strata are slaty sandstones, thirty fee, thick. The coal appears | 
to be of excellent quality, is of brilliant, jet-black color, and 1s mostly 
free from sulphur. It is not in demand by the blacksmiths, probably 
from not melting well to make a hollow fire; but is sold wholly for do- 
mestic uses. 
On the adjoining farm of W. Hanlon, another coal bed was opened 
Some time ago, sixty feet higher up, and is said to be over three feet 
thick. It is not worked. ince our examinations here, the discovery 
before referred to, has been made of the ferruginous layers resembling 
the black-band ore, accompanied with kidney ore, a few feet under this 
bed, or the one below.* Other coal openings in this township, are 
* The iron ore referred to oa Mr. Hanlon’s farm, is reported by Mz. James Boyd to be 
from thre to six feet in thickness, regularly stratified. An analysis, by Dr. Wormley, 
reyeais the following compesition :
