Prof Grimsley spent a portion OF
two summers working on the cement
and lime resources Of this belt, in
connection with the work OF the state
geological survey, and his statements
are based upcn absolutely reliable per-
sonal knowledge of the conditions
about heie. The statement to the
railroad officials is in part as
follows:
PROF. GRIMsLEY's REPORT.
Morgantown. W. Va. July, 1905.
The counties of Berkeley and Jeffer-
son, in the eastern panhandle of the
state of West Virginia, are character.
lied by wide outerep of limestone and
sha,s. The former is known as the
Shenandoah limestone, and the latter
as the Martinsburg shales.
Near Martinsburg there Is belt of
limestone trendinp 25 agrees east OF
north and traced for a distance of 10
miles. with width varying from 25
to over SOC feet which will average in
composition over IS per cent, If lime
carbonate A large part of it will
ran 80 per cent, aud in pieces it will
analyzs 80 per cent pure.
The limestone near this belt will
run about 30 per. cent while at some
distance from the high-grade rock
comes dolomite limestone. valuable
for open-hearth steel reduction. Bor-
derino the high-grade limestone in
the area near MartinsburR and other
places is the shale. forming belt of
varying width. but averaging several
hundred feet.
The CLAW. or shale. used in Portland
cement should not have over 81 per
cent, of silica and alumina, aud in
the above shsle there is less than 80
per cent. The percentage ratio OF
silica of alumina should be in the
limits ef 3 to aud to /. III the
above shale 1t is to 1. By calcnla-
tinn OF the formula from tie analysis
made in the state laboratory, it would
require 3s9 parts of limestone to 100
parts of stale to make Portland

NATURAL ADVANCES.

The denth to which these rocks can
be worked is at least 100 feet, AMI
probably mnch more. By sele ting u
good location, the shale and limestone
could be worked in open quarry with
face OF 20 to 100 feet, with good
drainage away from the quarry. thus
avoiding any necessity of pumps or
trouble with wat er. The length of
face could be measured in miles If
necessary. The amount of cover TO
be stripped would be practically none.
The limestone and shale are side by
side. thus enabling plant to have
quarries in both materials close to the
mills. The Opaquon creek in q con-
siderable portion of its course ruus
along one contact OF the shale IN
limestone. 1t has abundant water
supply throughout the year. and would
furnish the necessary water for mill
use and fire protection.
ADVANTAGES or LOCATION.
An electric power p ant has been es-
tablished on the Potomac. using the
water power about eight miles distant,
and is now supplyirg light to the
town of Martirsburg. This would
furnish 8 mill with cheap light aud
power.
