stone produced is superior to any found in
the older eras. This is the period, also,
of coal formations The territory is divided
into two general PARASITIC subcarbonifer-
GUS and the coal measures.
The dividing line between the subcarbonif-
erous stone and the coal deposits begins on
the Ohio river, near Leavenworth, and runs
in a northwesterly direction through Craw-
ford. Orange, Lawrence, Greene, Owen, Put
nam, Parke Fountain and Warren counties
East OF this line the deposits are chiefly stone
formed beneath salt water, and west of it the
coal was produced beneath fresh water
The most valuable limestone deposits arc
found near the boundary line between the
subcarboniferou and the coal measures.
This interesting field can be most easily ex-
amined along the line Of the Louisville, New
Albany IL Chicago railway
The railway penetrates the rich limestone
at Harristown, and one mile west of Salem
extensive quarries are proftably worked.
The Salem limestone in competition with
all the world secured the Centennial medal
and award of excellence at the International
Exhibition of 1876.
The largest and most valuable quarries yet
opened along the line of this railway are at
Bedford, in Lawrence county.
The best appliances are provided for quar-
rying and handling the immense blocks of
stone, and increasing quantities are each
year shipped to Indianapolis, Chicago, Lou
of the most costly buildings
The reputation of the Bedford limestone
for texture, color elasticity and general ex
cellence is second to none in the world.
North OF Bedford valuable quarries have
been opened at Bloomington, Ellettsvile
and Stinesville. The stone obtained from all
these quarries is easily worked while fresh
from the mine, but becomes very hard after
exposure to the air for time. The stone is
readily sawed into the sizes and shapes
needed for sills. caps, trimmings, etc.
At Putnamville and Greencastle a much
harder limestone is obtained, which is very
valuable for foundations, piers, and other
exposed locations.
The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago
railroad lies along this rich limestone region
for more than one hundred miles 1t is inn
possible to estimate the value of this lime
stone to the railway which is so favorably
located with reference to its development.
The production and shipment of limestone
to all parts of this and other States already
constitute great industry. and in the future
will be regarded as one of the most import
ant elements of State prosperity.

Professor Campbelrs Address.

Following is an abstract of Professor
Campbells address on Indiana Limestone:"
The study of the geology of Indiana re-
lates chiefly to the stratifed rocks, which are
the results Of sedimentary deposits under
water.
At the close of the era of primitive or un.
stratiied rock formation 1t is evident that
the entire area of the State was covered with
water, and from the indisputable evidence OF
the fossils which characterize the earliest
stratified rocks this water was salt or in
other words the ocean covered all this terri
tory.
Currents in this vast shallow ocean caused
deposits of the commnuted fragments OF
older rocks and formed the sandstones,
while in the stiller portions of this sea the
minute animals lived and died whose skele-
tons form the extensive limestones of the
State.
Our limestones belong to three of the dis
tinctive eras OF geological history-the ST.
llrian, the Devonian and the Carboniferous.
The silurian limestones are found in the south
eastern part of the State, the western boun-
Diary of which may be traced from the Ohio
river, near Madison, through Jefferson,
Ripley, Franklin, Fayette Wayne and Ran
dolph counties, in a general northeastern
direction, to the line between Indiana and
Ohio
The silurian lmestones found in the terri
tory east of this tracing is of a dark blue
color and abounds in marine fossils, with
some MOSES and sea-weeds. This stone is
very valuable for foundations and other
exposed places where it can be used without
dressing, but it is too hard for general use
The second geological division includes
nearly one-half the territory of the
State. The western boundary of this
division may be traced from the
Ohio river at Jacksonville in q
north line few miles east of the Jefferson
Vile, Madison & Indianapolis railway
toward Indianapolis, thence in a general
northwest direction, crossing the Wabash
near Delphi and leaving the State in Lake or
Jasper county.
The Devonian age is prominently the age
of fishes, and includes the earliest forms of
land plants. In this territory are found
some of our most valuable limestone depos-
its. The Utica, Vernon and Greensburg
rocks and the Delphi, Logansport and Hunt
ington deposits are the best representatives of
stones.
The North Vernon limestone on the line of
the Ohio d Mississippi railway, is a very com
pact variety, and issof superior quality for
bridge piers and other foundations. The
Greensburg and st. Paul quarries on the Gin
cinnati, indianapolis, st. Louis q Chicago
railway furnish most excellent stone for
pavements and for general building purposes.
The third geological division includes all
the remaining territory of the State west of
the limiting line already traced. This divis-
ion was formed during the carboniferous era.
The sedimentary deposits of limestone dur
Ing this era were most abundant aud the
