stone, argillaceous in places. The cement limestone found at Warnock's 

 is a fine looking stone, and to the eye can hardly be distinguished from 

 the Parker cement limestone at Barnesville. The analyses by Dr. 

 Wormley show great similarity of composition. The analyses of both 

 are as follows :

There can be scarcely a doubt that the Warnock limestone will make 

 a good water-lime. It can be obtained in great quantities near the rail- 

 road, and coal for burning could be easily obtained. At Warnock's 

 we heard a report that coal had been found in a well only fifteen or 

 twenty feet below the surface. Such a coal would be in the horizon of 

 the upper Barnesville seam, which lies from twenty to thirty feet below 

 the cement limestone. This coal appears in a tunnel about a mile west 

 of Glencoe Station, where it measures three feet in thickness. The sec- 

 tion obtained at this point is as follows :
