Here the blue ores represent the Shawnee horizon. The upper ore is 

 rich on the top, but grows more sandy until the sandstone is reached ; 

 while the lower ore begins sandy on the top and hecomes lioh at the 

 bottom. The bottom of the ore is ninety-two feet above the Nelsonriile 

 coal, and five feet above the Bayley's Run seam, which is here in full 

 thickness. In another shaft, beginning with the upper thin coal, we 

 find other ores.

In another shaft the Shawnee ore is composed of a layer of two feet of 

 blue ore, with one foot five inches of nodular ore underneath. There are 

 also nodules of ore filling a space of one foot three inches about ten feet 

 below the thin coal, which is here twenty-nine feet above the Shawnee ore. 

 By three instrumental measurements, Mr Lyons made the interval from 

 the Nelsonville coal to the Iron Point ore ninety-one, ninety-two, and 

 ninety -three feet, respectively; but he found the ore varying in level ten 

 feet in the space of six rods. These measurements appear to verify his 

 conclusion that the blue ore from five to twelve feet above the Bayley's 

 Run coal is the equivalent of the Iron Point seam, although it nowhere 

 presents the laminated structure of the latter. 



Through the labors of the Moxahala Iron Company, the equivalent of 

 the Iron Point ore has been found at several places in thickness varying 

 from one foot to thirteen feet. The Hone ore, first discovered by Mr. 

 Lewis Wolfe, is on a hill between Moxahala and New Lexington. It is 

 reported to baby measurement a little over one hundred feet above the Nel- 

 sonville seam of coal. The ore rests upon a sand-rock,^nd no coal was 

 seen below it. In this region the Bayley's Ran coal is generally absent —
