HAKDIN COUNTY. 355 



Near Patterson it is seen in the following section on the land of Dr. 

 A. F. Stanley : 



No. 1. Dark drab, slightly porous, with spots of blue and purple; no 



fossils visible; beds three to four inches; exposed 8 in. 



" 2. Surface exposure of somewhat vesicular, even-bedded, and 

 crystalline Niagara, of a buff color. 



The stone is used here for rough walls and for lime. 



Section 11. In the Blanchard, and in a little ravine running east 

 through the section ; land of Thomas Huston and of Jeremiah Higgins ; 

 rapid dip N. E. 



About half a mile west of Forest, almost within the limits of the cor- 

 poration, the Niagara is exposed along a little ravine on the land of John 

 Campbell. 



The Niagara is also said to appear on the land of Mr. B. Jackson, S. W. 

 J section 24, and of Mr. S. A Bower, S. W. J section 14, in the same 

 township. 



The Waterlime underlies the greater portion of Hardin county. Wher- 

 ever it appears it is in thin beds, which are sometimes blue, and at others 

 drab, always separated by conspicuous bituminous films. It furnishes a 

 building stone of ordinary quality by making selection of the thickest 

 beds, and is considerably burned into quicklime. 



Two and a half miles south-east of Kenton Mr. Erhardt Blum met the 

 Waterlime in sinking a well at the depth of twelve feet. In the same 

 vicinity a number of other wells terminated in the same way, without a 

 supply of water. 



About two miles south-west of Kenton the Waterlime is in outcrop 

 near the railroad, on the land of Mr. Alonzo Teeter. It is a fine-grained, 

 blue-drab stone, in beds of three to four inches, lying nearly horizontal. 



Two and a half miles east of Kenton, on the land of Mr. Nicholson 

 Rarey, the Waterlime appears in the Scioto in beds of two to four inches. 

 It has been somewhat used for lime. There are surface indications of the 

 near approach of the Waterlime to the surface on the land of Dr. William 

 Chessney, two miles east of Kenton, along a stream known as Allen's 

 Run. 



On the land of Mr. T. W. Bridge, in Buck township, five miles south 

 of Kenton, the Waterlime appears in thin, slaty beds, and has been 

 burned into lime. 



At Dunkirk there are several quarries in the Waterlime. Mr. Hugh 

 Miller's is situated a quarter of a mile east of the village ; Mr. Charles N. 

 Hill's is a mile south. At the former it lies in blue-drab, slaty beds, 

 which are torn up by picks and crow-bars, and used for road-making;
