Sandstones are the most important. Limestones are less widely dis- 
tributed. The Penitentiary at Rusk “is built of a yellow sandstone com- 
posed of grains of siliceous sand and altered greensand. It is of a yellow 
color, easily cut, and occurs near the penitentiary in a bed about twelve 
feet thick.” Claiborne age. Used for building ohimneys, foun'dations, etc. 
“It is also found of a green color and compact clayey consistency.” A 
white durable sandstone is found near Alto, Cherokee county. It is a 
capping of the Claiborne marls. A variety five miles west of Jacksonville 
is said to make good millstones. Brown ■sandstones are found in many 
places in East Texas. They are indurated Quaternary and Eocene sands. 
A good limestone occurs at iSeott’s quarry in Smith county.

“The determination of the exact geological position of the iron-bearing 
beds of Eastern Texas, and especially of those north of the Sabine river, is 
a matter of some difficulty, as many of the associated strata are not fossil- 
iferous. Enough data have not yet been collected to make any definite 
statements as to their exact geological horizon except in a few isolated 
cases. It is probable, however, thdt they occur in 'several different hori- 
zons between the lignitic clays of the Eocene and the Quaternary deposits 
which cap this horizon in the iron-bearing regions that have been visited.”
