The Barnard coal pit, & iu Miller county, north of the Osageriver, about three miles west of Aurora Springs. It is locatednear the crest of a spur of the plateau which overlooks the Osageriver to the south, at the dividing line between the undulatingprairie country, drained by the Missouri to the north, and therugged, deeply eroded country drained by the Osnge to the south. The mode of occurrence of the coal here is well illustrated inthe adjoined sketch. Sketcli at Barnardpit.. Coal inrMagneslan limestone. were noticed. -tr^rnnr^ Flu. 120. Sketcii of coal deposit at the Barnard pit. As is there shown the coal lies in the form of a basin of veryeven curvature. Shales and clays are associated with the coaland the whole series lies in horizontal beds of, the MagnesianLimestone series. Though the. coal dips at a high angle at theentrance to the mine and rapidly changes to a horizontal attitude, no slips, faults, crushed coal or other evidence of disturbanceThe coal has been followed a distance of about40 yds. from the mouth and is already assuming a reverseddip to the west, so that it will reach the surface somew|iat asindicated by the dotted lines in the sketch. The total width ofthe deposit, thus, probably does not exceed 80 yds. The follow-ing section of the coal was measured here: SYSTEMATIC DESCRIPTION OF COAL BEDS. 169 Inches. Feet.5 30 to 36 2+
