ter ofCoateS Kinney which you
published in your last weeks
issue. Also an editorial in the
Xenia Torchlight OF Dec. Gath,
and another in the Xenia Ga
zette of the Both, each nearly
as glowing as Harvey Wells
could desire. Strip those state
ments of superficial possibili-
ties down to solid facts and
probabilities, we still have sufi
cient evidence of mineral
wealth in this locality to as.
sumo it to be practically mex
haustible for ages to come.
To obtain a correct knowl-
edge Of geology here it is nee
essary TO follow two pretty reg
ular and valuable guides. The
gray limestone ore OVERLAPPING
our most regular and extensive
coal vein. And bearing upon
it our most valued ore. This
occurs east of the Railroad in
the tops of the higher hills, and
dips 10 the southeast until it
disappears under the streams
in Gallia county. West OF The
Railroad l know of but two
hills high enough 10 catch it,
one on the Allen Austin Farm,
and the other near the resi-
dence of Henry Nlckels, in
Washington township. z
Abont 1877 feet according to
Prof. Andrews, below our first
guide occurs our second, the
blue limestone, which, like the
gray is accompanied by ore and
coal. This is often low in the
hills along the liae of the Rail.
road, and about a mile above
Young America 1t disappears
below the stream.
Below this lower marker oc.
ours a remarkable and valua.
Bile Improvement in the quality
of the coal. The first strata
which | will notice occurs in its
greatest known perfection on
the farm of DR.. Wolfe, near
Macarthur. This | think will
prove Identical with the shalt
coal owned by Abraham Viii
bur, about one mile south east
of Halnden. And also with
that once owned by VIM. Osier,
about 2 miles west Of Wilbur's
Shaft, ON the line Of the M. &
Z. Railroad. As it Is the opin.
ion Of several of the coal
men residing between here and
Jackson that the Anthony is
but about 90 feet below the
blue lime instead of 125 as re.
ported by Prot. Andre VS., | at.
wise them TO carefully level
from the lime down TO the coal,
and if they find the distance
about SO feet it is the Wolfe
coal instead of the Anthony.
Then If the Anthony can be
found about 40 feet farther
down, nobody should Qrum BILE.
The Anthony, Petrea, Win

Identical, though varying some.
what in thickness and quality.
f .|LT . IL
The extent Of territory which
Is underlaid by this valuable
coal, Is in my opinion, much
greater than is generally sup
posed, though many borings for
it have not been successful;
yet it has been found, l think,
sufficiently often for US to as
sumo that it occurs under one
half of the surface of Lick,
Washington and Milton town
ships, in Jackson townships, In
Jackson county, and also Rich
land and Clinton in Vinton. /
