On the land of Wm. Smith, section 18, the following section was 

 taken :

1. Limestone 1 



2. Not exposed 54 



3. Clay shale 8 



4. Black slate, with coal plants 1 3 



5. Coal (Cumberland seam) 1 10 



(Map XIII., No. 3.) 



The coal has been mined by Mr. Smith to a small extent, and some 

 has been taken to Woodsfield. 



On the land of J. R. Fisher, on Sunfish Creek, north of Wm. Smith's, 

 a stratum of iron ore nine inches thick is reported by Hon. J. 0. Amos. 

 It is thought to be about fifty feet above the Woodsfield (Evans) seam of 

 coal. 



WAYNE TOWNSHIP. 



This township lies south of Summit and west of Center. It is drained 

 by the Little Muskingum and its branches. The general character of 

 the surface of the hills and valleys corresponds with that of the adjacent 

 townships. The land is of fair quality, and some limestones are found, 

 which serve to fertilize the soil. 



In this township, as in many of the townships in this county, there is 

 little of economic interest or value in the geological features. So far as 

 could be learned, all the seams of coal are thin, and exposures for meas- 

 urement were not found. It is, howeveT, quite possible that at some 

 points the coal may be thick enough to be of considerable practical 

 value. No good geological sections were taken in the township.
