In 1874 the geological survey of Pennsylvania was reorganized with the appointment of Prof. J. P. Lesley as state geologist, and Ashburner resigned from the U. S. service to become an assistant on the survey.

The ability and skill with which this undertaking was performed led to his being appointed in 1885 geologist in charge of all the office and field work of the survey. Ashburner was a member of the American Philosophical Society, the American Institute of Mining Engineers, and other scientific societies, to whose proceedings he contributed valuable papers. He also contributed to the scientific and technical journals, and prepared more than twenty of the reports of the geological survey. In 1889 he was made Sc. D.
