In the annual report of this Bureau for 1932 there was anarticle regarding some of the coal seams then being mined inWestern Maryland coal field. Following are a few remarks con-corning some of the coal seams that have been developed andworked shice that time.

PARKER SEAMA thin seam mined locally in the vicinity of Barrellville, Alle-

gany County, Maryland, is known as the Parker seam. The seamof coal varies from 2-ft. to 2%-ft. The coal is bright in appear-mice, has rather cubical cleavage, and is of excellent 9nality. It ismuch desired for domestic heating and in domestic automaticstokers. It commands a good price but is only mined in one ortwo small mines hi the Mt. Savage and Barreilville area. Analy-sis is as follows:

MAYNADIER SEAM

Another thin seam mined at Mt. Savage, Allegany County,Maryland, is sometimes known as the Maynadier coal seam. Thisvaries from 2%-ft. to 3-ft. in thickness and lies under a slate roof.It is of very fair quality and is used locally for domestic pur-poses. Much of it has been mined hi past years and shipped byrailroad cars to steam power plants hi Cumberland.

OINSENG SEAMAnother important coal seam mined in the vicinity of Barton

in Allegany County, is locally known as the Ginseng, or, geologi-cally, as the Lower Freeport. A cross-section of this seam isas follows:

This coal has been Used for steam purposes iii pulverized formand has also beon used for domestic heating purposes for stokers,both large and small, and has given very good results for thesepurposes. One characteristic of this coal is its tendency toclinker when the draft and firing conditions are not adapted tothe physical qualifies of this coal. This coal will, in the future,furnish a good supply of both steam and domestic coal. It is welldeveloped on Aaron Run in Garrett County, where it sometimesattains a thickness of 4% to 5-ft., but the upper foot or so con-tains much of a tabular form of Marcasite, and is not alwaysdesirable fuel for domestic purposes. This coal is quite hard incharacter and should be mined by mining machines.

fltEEPORT SEAMIn the extreme western part of Garrett County is a composite

a.eam which is classified in the Second Reort of the Coals ofMaryland as the Freeport. This seam contams some rather thickpartings and hi some places attains an overall thickness of from9-ft. to 10-ft. It is subject to extreme dips in some places, whichmakes the mining of it costly and, in some cases, dangerous, onaccount of the haulage on the extreme dips.

BEACHY SEAMIn the vicinity of Grantsville in Garrett County, in the Castle-

man Basin, there is an important seam of coal which has beenworked for the last ten or fifteen years and which is knownlocally as the Beachy seam. This seam is from 3-ft. to 3%-ft. inthickness and contains some partings, but the quality of the coalis excellent. It has been used in times of scarcity of coal in largevower plants in Washington and Baltimore with complete satis-faction. The coal is free-burning, is easily mined, and whenproperly prepared is an excellent fuel for both domestic andsteam-raising purposes.

LITTLE FRANKLIN OR SO-CALLED DIRTYNINE SEAM

A seam which may become important has recently been openediii Middle George's Creek at a point where the George's CreekBoulevard crosses the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroadtracks. This seam is geologically known as the Little Franklinor so-called Dirty Nine seam. It has been used successfully for

There are other important seams; one in Garrett County, thecorrelation of which is not well established. There is one seam3-ft. in thickness in the upper part of the Castleman Basin, whichmakes a very large percentage of lump coal, especially whenmined by maclimes. This coal should provide all importantsource for domestic use.

There are other seams of coal of very good quality ill GarrettCounty, varying from 31/2-ft. to 4-ft. in thickness, but these, cx-cept in one or two instances, have only been developed sufficientlyto supply coal for the farmers for their household use.
