WASHINGTON COUNTY. 
In this county we have several useful mineral productions. Iron ore 
both of the magnetic and hematitic kinds, have been found in it. Of 
marl and calcareous tufa there are also localities enumerated, and there 
is abundance of good marble. Calcareous spar in the crystalline form 
is every where found in the fissures of the limestone and slate. 
Small quantities of galena were formerly obtained at White creek, 
but I beheve no regular vein of the ore has been discovered, and no 
attempts have been made at mining. 
WAYNE COUNTY. 
The mineralogy of this county is quite similar to that of several of 
the western counties. There is here a most valuable deposit of the 
lenticular iron ore, which is quarried in large quantities and used in 
several furnaces. Besides this, bog iron ore has been found in consi- 
derable abundance near Lockville. 
With gypsum, marl, gypseous marl and water limestone, Wayne 
county is well supplied. Sulphur springs also abound, and weak biine 
springs have been found. An interesting one belonging to the latter 
class occurs near Clyde, where a boring to the depth of 400 feet was 
made by a company in 1832. Salt water was obtained in small quan- 
tity but having considerable strength. What rendered this boring more 
worthy of notice was, that inflammable gas was discharged similar to 
that given out in other places in connexion with brine. 
The brine springs of this county were at one time of considerable 
importance, especially those of Galen ; where in 1810 about 50,000
