keep down water, " good ore being left standing in the floor." In the 

 woods behind Beck's and Aul's fields, north of it, small shafts were 

 once sunk on fine sized ore. In Beck's Bank wash ore is seen in the 

 walls, showing rather lean. At present there is not much evidence of 

 the presence of a considerable deposit, and no encouragement is felt for 

 looking for it. 



The road to Warrior's Mark Village descends to Warrior's Run, past 

 New Town Bank, which seems to be the I'emains of a surface deposit 

 once covering the fiat top of the Pennington Ridge Anticlinal. It is the 

 only mine on this southeast dipping outcrop that has ever been opened 

 west of Warrior's Run. But, that the ore belt extends in that direction, 

 towards the Juniata, is proved by the heavy outcrop of ore ground, shown 

 on the large map and on Cross Section A B, fig. 2, 1^ miles due south of 

 the Old (east) Pennington Bank. 



The vein of ore pursued by those who worked the New Town Bank is 

 described as small and irregular in thickness, and not traced successfully 

 downhill and westward ; but much coarse ore covers the ground in Jer. 

 Berk's fields, on which the Furnace had no right to enter ; slight shaft- 

 ings showed small veins of ore. Further west also, in Adelberger's fields, 

 some ore was raised ; and outcroppings occur on P. Cooken's farm. 



Warrior's Mark and Lovetown Range. 



From Warrior's Run, north-eastward we have almost a continuous 

 series of shafts and open cuts for a good many miles ; viz : 



Old Town Bank (V) is ^ mile east of Warrior Run ; Romberger's Bank 

 (VI) li miles ; Hannah Bank (VII) If miles ; Waite's Bank, 2^ miles ; 

 Lloyd Braunstetter's Bank (IX) 2§ miles (with pipe ore outcrops 

 to the south of it) ; Disputed Bank, 4f miles, (X) ; Hannah Furnace 

 Bank, 5 miles ; Hannah Furnace and Beck Banks half a mile north of 

 the last two, and less than a mile west of Lovetown ; the pipe ore out- 

 crops half a mile south of Lovetown ; croppings near the sawmill, 2 

 miles east of Lovetown ; Hannah Furnace Bank and Bryan Bank, 2| 

 miles east of Lovetown, and the Curtin Bank 5 miles east of Lovetown, 

 and 11 miles from Warrior's Run. 



The ores of these Banks, when rich, are black or dark colored, much of 

 it of a pitch-like lustre, and often inclining to cold- short in quality. Dr. 

 Genth's analyses in my appendix will give their chemical constitution. 

 When lean, they are of a lighter color, brown, or liver colored ; clay pre- 

 dominating over sand in the deposit, as compared with the Pennington 

 ores proper. Some of them may occupy a slightly higher geological posi- 

 tion, being still further removed from the upper layers of the Calciferous 

 Sandrock, and lying, therefore, still more in the body of the Trenton 

 Group* of Limestones. 



* See sections A B and D. The Trenton Limestone proper, of the New York 

 Geologists is considered to be the top member of the Trenton group. Our ores are far 

 below it, and in the lower members oi the group, vii. the Ohazy, Bird's Eye and Black 

 River Limestones.
