THE WINIFREDE COAL
Underlying the Coalburg Seam by an in- terval which varies greatly in thickness and character of strata from 25 to 100 feet, occurs another well known seam known as the Wini- frede. The character of this seam is somewhat like the Coalburg. It is an excellent splint coal and has a wide reputation as a steam and do- mestic coal. It was first mined on a commer- cial scale at Winifrede on Field's Creek, and thus was named from that village. It is mined along the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, and its branches, and is one of the important coal beds in Kanawha County.
THE CHILTON SEAM
From 40 to 75 feet below the Winifrede is a bed of impure coal, frequently split into two layers by from 2 feet to 4 feet of sandy fire clay. It has been named from Chilton, a small village on Davis Creek, where it presents a conspicuous outcrop along the banks of the Creek. At Chilton this coal seems to be thin and of very little commercial value. It is pos- sible that in some portions of Kanawha County, this coal may be of sufficient thickness to be commercially mined.
THE THACKER SEAM
The Thacker Seam is mined in Mingo County, south of Williamson, and also to a small extent north of it. It occurs in the Ka- nawha Measure, but whether it is of sufficient thickness at any point to be of commercial value has not yet. been definitely determined. On Clear Fork Creek in Raleigh County, about three miles southeast of the Kanawha
319
AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS
line, it ranges in thickness from 2 feet to 3 feet, and possibly occurs in the hills on the Cabin Creek Side.
THE CEDAR GROVE SEAM
From 250 to 300 feet below the Winifrede seam occurs the Cedar Grove. This coal was first mined on a commercial scale at Cedar Grove, near the mouth of Kelly's Creek, from which village it has obtained its name. The seam ranges in thickness from 2 feet to 3 feet 6 inches, and is a coal of most excellent qual- ity, very low in sulphur, phosphorous, and ash, and is an important coal on account of its pur- ity and general excellence for fuel purposes. The coal bed is very persistent and a large por- tion of the southern part of Kanawha County is underlaid with this seam. It is worked along the Kanawha & Michigan Railway and also at some points on the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail- way.
THE PEERLESS SEAM
At from 40 to 80 feet below the Cedar Grove, occurs the Peerless seam. This seam has been mined at several places along the Ka- nawha River, and is named after Peerless, a small village near Winifrede, where it was once mined. This seam is a hard splint coal and is excellent for fuel and domestic use.
NO. 2 GAS (CAMPBELL'S CREEK) SEAM
At from 20 to 60 feet below the Peerless, occurs probably the most important bed of coal in Kanawha County. It has become widely known in a commercial way by the name of No. 2 Gas, or simply the No. 2 Coal and has also been called the Campbell's Creek Coal where it was long mined near the mouth of Campbell's Creek. The No. 2 Gas Coal prob- ably furnishes the greatest tonnage of any Seam of the Kanawha Field. It contains enough hard or splint coal to make an ideal shipping fuel, while the softer and more friable layers make an excellent coke and are also valuable for gas making purposes. This seam is mined along the Kanawha & Michigan Rail- way, and its branches, and the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, and its branches. It is espec- cially the most important seam on Cabin Creek where it reaches its greatest thickness, ranging from 3 feet to 7 feet. It occurs about tipple
height on Cabin Creek at most of the mines and covers almost the entire area. It is also mined on Smithers and Paint Creeks.
THE POWELLTON SEAM
The Powellton Ceam occurs from 30 to 60 feet below the No. 2 Gas, and has derived its name from Powellton on Armstrong Creek, Fayette County, where it has been mined by the Mount Carbon Coal Company, Limited. This coal has been mined at Brownstown, now Marmet, and was at one time called the Brownstown Coal. It does not obtain a thickness of commercial value along the Kana- wha River. However, on Paint Creek it is of workable thickness. The area of this coal in Kanawha County is limited. It is a soft, gas coal and makes an excellent coke, due to its purity and small percentage of sulphur and phosphorus.
THE EAGLE SEAM
At from 100 to 120 feet below the Powell- ton Seam occurs the Eagle. This was first mined on a commercial scale in Fayette County, thirty miles southeast from Charles- ton. It is of commercial thickness on Smithers and Paint Creeks, and possibly a portion of Cabin Creek. It attains a thickness of from 3 to 7 feet. It is soft and makes an excellent coke. It is also used in the markets in the by- product ovens where it seems to excel all other coals. It is also excellent for steam coal. The area of this seam of commercial thickness in Kanawha County, is small, just how much it is hard to say, as it has not been fully pros- pected.
THE LITTLE EAGLE SEAM
This lies from 20 to 50 feet below the Eagle Seam at Eagle on the Kanawha River. It is generally a very pure seam of soft coking coal from 18 inches to 20 inches in thickness. It has never been mined in a commercial way in Kanawha County, and it is doubtful if it oc- curs in other places at a commercial thickness, unless in the extreme southeastern portion of the County, near the head-waters of Paint and Cabin Creeks.
OTHER COALS
It is hardly probable that there are very
320
HISTORY OF KANAWHA COUNTY
many other seams in Kanawha County that at- tain a commercial thickness.
The War Eagle Seams and the New River and Pocahontas Seams are all under water, and from the oil well records and core drill holes which have been put down, it is not prob- able there are many more seams of coal of workable thickness below the seams already mentioned.
The total quantity of coal in Kanawha County has never been estimated from actual surveys. Dr. I. C. White, State Geologist, in Volume II (a), Page 692, estimated that the County contained 640 square miles or 409,600 acres of coal at 10,000 short tons per acre or 4,096,000,000 tons. It is probable that the County contains considerably more available coal of commercial thickness than the figures
given, and that 6,000,000,000 short tons are more nearly correct.
The coals in Kanawha County are of a very superior grade and the analyses show very ex- cellent quality for steam and domestic fuel. The lower coals, that is, the No. 2 Gas, the Powellton, and the Eagle make an excellent coke for fuel and foundry purposes. The Eagle coal is now being used in several places in by- product ovens, and shows a superior coal for that purpose.
The West Virginia Geological Survey has taken samples from practically all the operat- ing mines, and made analyses of the coals, and recently published the results in Bulletin II, which general result of the analyses so taken is herewith submitted :

It will be noted from the above comparison of analyses that the Kanawha County Coals are low in Sulphur, Phosphorus and Ash and high in Fixed Carbon and British Thermal Units; that the Kanawha County Coals com- pare favorably with the coals from the dif- ferent parts of West Virginia, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania. Kentucky and Tennessee.
The coal fields with which the coals in Ka- nawha County will have to compete are The Fairmont in the northern part of the State. The Guyan, The Coal River and Mingo in the southern part of the State. The coal fields of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Western Pennsyl- vania are competing fields outside the State.
More than sixty per cent of the coals of Western Pennsylvania are now being con- sumed within that State for manufacturing purposes, and in a few years a small quantity of the bituminous coals of Western Pennsyl- vania will be shipped out of that State; so this field will soon cease to be a competitor.
The principal coals now mined in Ohio are of inferior quality to those of Kanawha County, being much higher in ash and sulphur and lower in fixed carbon and British Thermal
Units; and while the freight rates are lower to the western markets for the Ohio coals, yet by the excellent quality of the Kanawha Coals, they are fast supplanting those of Ohio in the western markets. This is further verified by the fact that a great many of the Ohio Coal operators are becoming interested in the West Virginia Coals and are opening mines. In- diana is not unlike Ohio, as very little develop- ment has been done for years in that State.
Illinois has a coal that is high in Volatile Matter, Ash and Sulphur. However, this is a hard block, and owing to its proximity to the markets it will be a competitor with the Kanawha Coals in the western markets.
Large coal developments are being made in Kentucky at present, and before long, Ken- tucky will have a large annual output. While these coals will compete with the Kanawha, yet the Kanawha Coals will compare favorably with them in quality and thickness of seams and will be able to compete with them both in the western and eastern markets.
Natural gas has become a strong competitor in the past few years. The gas is piped from the fields of West Virginia both east and west,

one line going to Baltimore and New York, another to Pittsburg, while another from the Roane County Field goes into Columbus; an- other line crosses through Kanawha County from near Clendennin. going to Cincinnati.
The gas has supplanted the coal in a great many cities for domestic fuel, and thus de- creased the demand for coal.
The present outlook of the Kanawha Coal industry compares very favorably with all the competitive fields, and its future outlook is better than most of them.
Kanawha County is fortunate in having the geographical position for excellent transporta- tion facilities. The Chesapeake & Ohio Rail- way, a trunk line, was established in 1873 to 1874 and affords transportation east and west.
The Kanawha & Michigan Railway, to-
gether with the Toledo & Ohio Central Rail- way, and the Hocking Valley Railway afford a western outlet to the Great Lakes.
The Kanawha River affords an outlet to the western and southern markets, and as soon as the locks and dams in the Ohio River are com- pleted to Cairo, this transportation will be open during practically the entire year. The completion of the Panama Canal, which will probably be within the next two years. will afford a market in the South American mar- kets. Kanawha County will be in good posi- tion to take advantage of this market, owing to its water transportation. This is expeced to afford a great market for our coals.
We show herewith a schedule of freight rates on coal and coke from the Kanawha and New River Districts :
