SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT—HOCKING VALLEY 827 
of Floodwood Creek, where the coal is pretty low—yet amply above 
drainage—to the region of the Lick Run mines. The seam is every 
where of working thickness, and, while the quality of the coal is gener- 
ally excellent, it is in some places very superior. 
On Floodwood there are places where the sandrock “cuts away” or re- 
places a portion of the coal, but the mines of Messrs. Sheffield generally 
disclose the seam in fair development and of good quality of coal. On 
Meeker Run the seam ranges from a thickness of six feet to nearly nine 
feet. The following are two sections taken on the land of J. L. Gill, Esq:
