A second type is the red or brown Hematite deposits found in 

 the Telhco formation. These residt from the weathering of a 

 highly ferruginous calcarious sandstone or sandy Hmestone. De- 

 posits of these ores of apparent promise occur in the Tuckahoe 

 district above Knoxville, near Englewood, Sweetwater and else- 

 where. In depth they are limited to the reach of weathering 

 agencies, usually from five to forty feet. 



The red fossil or Clinton ores found in the Rockwood forma- 

 tion along the western side of the Valley constitute the third type. 

 These occur in beds two to four feet thick, and because of their 

 more persistent character have greater commercial possibilities. 

 Their origin is disputed, but evidence seems to favor their accumu- 

 lation in low-lying areas during Clinton time, although probably 

 concentrated more or less through weathering agencies since being- 

 deposited. 



The different types are discussed and their commercial possi- 

 bilities pointed out.
