﻿IRON 
  ORES 
  OF 
  THE 
  CLINTON 
  FORMATION

  The 
  upper 
  I 
  foot 
  seam 
  is 
  the 
  one 
  that 
  was 
  worked 
  in 
  the 
  early 
  

   days 
  near 
  the 
  furnace 
  on 
  Wolcott 
  creek. 
  The 
  lower 
  beds 
  do 
  not 
  

   appear 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity; 
  'the 
  line 
  of 
  their 
  outcrop 
  must 
  lie 
  between 
  

   2 
  and 
  3 
  miles 
  north 
  of 
  Wolcott. 
  They 
  are 
  undoubtedly 
  a 
  continua- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  the 
  seam 
  that 
  is 
  exposed 
  in 
  the 
  excavations 
  at 
  Sterling 
  

   Station 
  and 
  again 
  shown 
  in 
  the 
  hole 
  near 
  Red 
  Creek, 
  between 
  that 
  

   place 
  and 
  Wolcott. 
  There 
  is 
  thus 
  an 
  area 
  fully 
  io 
  miles 
  long, 
  east 
  

   and 
  west, 
  which 
  is 
  underlain 
  by 
  an 
  unbroken 
  seam 
  from 
  18 
  to 
  36 
  

   inches 
  thick. 
  As 
  the 
  holes 
  are 
  nearly 
  3 
  miles 
  back 
  from 
  the 
  out- 
  

   crop, 
  the 
  continuity 
  of 
  the 
  ore 
  on 
  the 
  dip 
  for 
  any 
  distance 
  within 
  

   easy 
  reach 
  of 
  mining 
  operations 
  may 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  certain. 
  The 
  

   dip 
  of 
  the 
  beds 
  in 
  this 
  section 
  is 
  less 
  than 
  50 
  feet 
  to 
  the 
  mile. 
  

  

  The 
  accompanying 
  analyses 
  show 
  the 
  composition 
  of 
  the 
  beds 
  at 
  

   Wolcott.

  This

  The 
  exact 
  location 
  is 
  just

   of 
  the 
  highway, 
  beside 
  the 
  smal

   of 
  the
