The thickness of the Mulky bed, whereopened upon, is seen to be very nearly the same as that of theLexington bed. At three different openings, a few miles west ofConcordia, the thicknesses measured were respectively; nineteeninches, twenty-two inches, and twenty inches. At the Ellingshaft, nearly four miles west of Concordia, the thickness isreported to be between twenty-two and twenty-four inches. The Kresse slope is about four miles southwest of -Concordiaand is one and a half miles south of the railway. The coal is ofgood quality and has a large sale for local uses. Pyrite occurshere in thin films, along the joint planes. The pillar and roommethod of mining is followed though the roof is probably quitegood, enough to admit of the use of the long wall method. Nosqueezes or faults of the coal were observed. The followingsection was measured here : Feet. Inches. Section at Eresseslope.. Fig. 02. Section of coal bedat Kresse slope. At Waverly, in the extreme northeastern corner of the county, a shaft was sunk last spring, adjacent to the Missouri PacificooaiatwaTeriy. railway, On the river bank, at a depth of 72 ft. A coal bedabout three feet thick was struck. In a shaft of the WaverlyCoal and Mining Company sunk since this discovery, for thepurpose of developing the bed, the following section was recentlymeasured: SYSTEMATIC DESCRIPTION OF COAJ^ BEDS. 123 Feet.
