stratified with shale. The strata are horizontal. The stone is 

 fine grained and of a light gray color. It has been used for cut 

 stone in the protestant episcopal church and county buildings 

 at Bath, but is now quarried only for foundation work. 



Just below this quarry another opening has been made in the 

 hill. 15 feet of face are exposed, 8 feet of which are salable 

 stone. The stone is gray, but has a whitish tinge. The lifts 

 are somewhat heavier than in the quarry above. 



The quarry of V. Holmes is situated miles southwest of 

 Bath. The ledge exposed is 45 feet thick. On top are 12 feet 

 of clay and shale. Below this the courses of stone are inter- 

 stratified with the shale. There are probably 8 feet of stone 

 in the bed. The stone is fine grained and dark gray. It is quar- 

 ried for cellar and rough work. It has not been worked the past 

 season. 



Xear the Soldiers home at Bath stone has been quarried for 

 the foundations of buildings and for road metal. The face 

 is 125 feet high and 300 feet long. The sandstone is even bedded, 

 of a gray color, and interstratified with shale. The vertical 

 jointing is rough and irregular, but has a north and south and 

 east and west direction. The dip is to the south and west and 

 the lower strata are so covered with rubbish that it is impossi- 

 ble to determine the difference in quality of the stone in the 

 beds. 



Cohocton, Steuben co. 



Xo quarries have been worked the past season at Cohocton on 

 account of lack of demand for the stone. 



Fred Zimmers's quarry lies 2-J miles due west of Cohocton. 

 The bed of stone, 4 feet thick, is covered with 15 feet of shale, in 

 which some stone is interbedded. The product has been used 

 for foundation work. The stone is fine grained and light gray. 

 The quarry has not been worked for three years. 



F. F. TVoodworth's quarry is 3 miles northeast of Cohocton 

 and two miles southeast of Atlanta, on a hillside 250 feet above 

 the valley. 8 feet of shale and soil cover the 30 feet of stone 

 courses, which vary in thickness from 3 inches to 2 feet. The
