Excerpt from Coal: Part One, Coals of the Monongahela Formation or Upper Productive Coal Measures, Part Two, Chemical Analyses and Calorific Tests of the Clarion, Lower Kittanning, Middle Kittanning and Upper Freeport Coals

A feature of this part of the report is the new assignment made the Pomeroy seam. Heretofore that has always been regarded as the Pittsburg. But recent studies have demonstrated that the coal in question lies above the Pittsburg seam and is the equivalent of the Redstone of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Credit for this determination belongs very largely to Mr. D. D. Condit.

Part Two consists of analyses and calorific tests of four seams of the Allegheny Formation or Lower Productive Coal Measures. These are the Clarion. Lower Kittanning, Middle Kittanning and Upper Freeport coals. Accompanying the results will be found sections showing the thickness and structure of the seam where sampled.

In the chapter by Professor Lord, Interpretation of the Chemical and Physical Tests on Coal, the value of coal as shown by its chemical. Analysis and the effects of the different constituents upon its fuel value are discussed in some detail, as are also the total and available heating values of coals.

Excerpt from Coal: Part One, Coals of the Monongahela Formation or Upper Productive Coal Measures, Part Two, Chemical Analyses and Calorific Tests of the Clarion, Lower Kittanning, Middle Kittanning and Upper Freeport Coals

The coal has long been mined along the river front for local use. The fuel is hauled directly from these hills to the iron and steel mills in the valley, thus reducing to a minimum the cost of fuel.

Section 1 shows the coal in the mine which supplies the Actua Standard mill with fuel, the location being at the north end of Bridge port. Occasional streaks of pyrites are found in the lower part of the seam, and one thin smut band was noted. Much the same may be said of the Breast coal. The Bearing in coal is not rejected. The Draw slate overlying the coal is reported to vary from a foot or more in thickness to almost nothing.
