GEORGIA 



In Georgia, the same arrangement of strata prevails as that found in 

 Alabama. The porous layers of sandstone or limestone are joined top 

 and bottom with impervious layers of slates or shales. In a few cases, 

 fine-textured sandstone joined the much coarser layers of ore. Thirty- 

 seven sections taken in this state showed without exception similar favor- 

 able artesian conditions. In nearly all cases, the ore seams consisted of 

 fossil ore and always much coarser than surrounding layers.
