The Jane Lew Sandstone, as it occurs along Hackers 

 Creek and Jesse Run east of Jane Lew, is massive, greenish 

 gray, weathering to dark brown, fine grained, micaceous, and 

 somewhat inclined to be shaly. It makes a line of bluffs be- 

 tween Jane Lew and the mouth of Jesse Run, being about 35 

 feet above drainage at the former place. 



The section for Jackson Mill, published on a previous 

 page in this Chapter, shows the Jane Lew Sandstone 10 feet 

 thick, coming 50 feet below the Ames Shale. At Westfield 

 Stop, three-fourths mile northeast of Jackson Mill, the fol- 

 lowing succession was noted :

 In most places it seems too shaly to be of value for building 

 purposes.
