valleys of the streams, doubtless washed from the hills in the vicinity. 
The excellence and abundance of this ore render it highly probable that 
the important deposits of Jackson township, Muskingum county, extend 
northward into Coshocton. Below are given the analyses of two speci- 
mens from the valley of Brushy Fork, in Pike township. No.1 con- 
sists of a nodule of carbonate, changing exteriorly to limonite; No. 2, 
a similar nodule, being converted by surface oxidation into anhydrous 
sesquioxide. A similar difference has been frequently noticed among 
the Coal Measure iron-ores, but no explanation has, as yet, been given:

Washington.—The only coal mine of importance seen in this township, 
is Parks’s, in the north-east corner. The bed is No. 6, three and a half 
to four feet thick, the coal of superior quality, very brilliant, of waxy 
lustre, giving a brownish-red powder, and purplish ash. It is a good 
coking coal, melting easily. The pyritous seams it contains, are small 
and easily sorted out. The coal finds a ready sale over a considerable re- 
gion around. The bed lies high up near the top of the hill, but proba- 
bly may be found in many other places in the eastern part of the town- 
ship. 
The following is a section of the strata associated with Parks’s coal:
