The following outcrops of the Waterlime were noted in Madison town-

In Jackson township, about the center of section 8, Mr. William Bishop 

 burns quicklime from Waterlime beds of about two inches. The bedding 

 here, as at Mr. Gobrecht's quarry, shows some disturbance, which has

S. W. \ section 30. Here are the adjoining quarries of S. R. McCahan 

 and George Woodley. They are located near the southern end of a ridge 

 of Waterlime which is nearly three miles in length, running north and

 was taken at this place, dip west and south-west : 



No. 1. Thin-bedded, drab ; used only for macadamizing roads... 5 ft.

 in the same ridge, and exposed about six feet of beds undistinguish- 

 able from those of No. 1 of the foregoing section. The beds are here 

 shattered, and part in quarrying into angular pieces of a few inches 

 across ; dip, ten degrees west south-west. About twenty degrees south-west
