This quarry is probably in the upper portion of the Berea grit. A quar- 

 ter of a mile above Mr. Knox's quarry is that of Mr. Alfred Williams. 

 This shows about fifteen feet of beds of two to four inches. About a mile 

 and a quarter north of Harlem, along the South Branch of Spruce Run, 

 is Homer Merritt's quarry. The upper portion of his section consists 

 of thin layers of two to six inches. Thicker layers of fourteen or six- 

 teen inches are near the bottom of the quarry. At Harlem Mr. Carey 

 Paul owns a quarry, worked by Daniel Bennett, which embraces about 

 twelve feet in perpendicular section, of uniform beds of two to six 

 inches. Mr. A. S. Scott's land joins Paul's below, and contains two 

 opened quarries that supply, like Mr. Paul's, considerable valuable stone. 

 The horizons of Mr. Scott's quarries are identical, and embrace the fol- 

 lowing descending section : 



Section at Scott's Quarry, in Harlem Township. 



No. 1. Drift 3 ft 



" 2. Beds three to four inches, with shaly interstratiflcation 12 " 



" 3. Beds eight to twelve inches 4 " 



Total 19 " 



These quarries are in the southern corner of Harlem township, on 

 small tributaries to Duncan's Creek, and are probably in the upper por- 

 tion of the Berea grit. 



Still further south, and adjoining Mr. Scott's, is Sherman Fairchild's 

 section, which embraces good stone, and lies in a very favorable situation 

 for drainage of the quarry. It is composed of beds of two to eight inches, 

 with shale, making six feet exposed. 



In the N. E. J section 1, Berkshire, on the farm of Truman Perfect, 

 beds belonging to the Berea have been considerably wrought formerly. 

 The exposure occurs along a ravine which also crosses Mr. C. C. Bricker's 

 farm, where similar beds have been opened, but feebly worked. In tb«
