If this is the Johnstown cement bed, then the coal must be Bed C--the Kittanning Upper coal--but this does not seem probable. A belief is prevalent in many of the localities along the Susquehanna river between Burnside and Clearfield, that thick beds of coal exist at considerable depth beneath the river. This belief is so deeply rooted, that it will never be thoroughly dispelled until the absence of such thick and valuable beds is proven by actual shafting. The record of the Cherry Tree Gas (oil?) well at Cherry Tree, and of a well said to have been sunk by Dr. Hoyt, are quoted as proof that such beds exist. The former record is given in Report HH, page 179. It shows 2 feet of coal at a depth (from surface) of 33 feet, 5 -" " 85" 5 - -, 119" thin " " " 147" 5 - - 167" 41 K 11 11 418" The borings at Cherry Tree may exaggerate some of the coal beds, but show that all the coal beds sink beneath water-level from Burnside up to Cherry Tree (except perhaps the Freeport Upper Coal) owing to an unusually strong south-west dip towards Cherry Tree. At first sight one would take the massive sand rock 50 feet or more above water-level at Cherry Tree to be No. XII, because the Mahoning sandstone caps the ridge N. E. of Cherry Tree, 300 feet above the river. But the two rocks are the same; the dip down the slope towards Cherry Tree being at least 150 feet per mile. N. B. The coloring of the geological county map must be corrected, by erasing the color for No. XII along the river from Cush P. O. upward. 8. Jordan Township. This lies south from Ferguson and Knox and n...
