Stell's ( u Stony Point"), just north of Cooks Creek, in the S. J sec. 
18, T. 10 S., R. 13 W., halfway up the bill, is a 10-foot bed of clay 
which may prove valuable for pottery, though the best of the clay 
may be only that near the surface, which is most affected by weather- 
ing. It is possible that it is thicker than 10 feet, for the limits of the 
bed arc not well defined. 
A well dug about 1,500 feet north of Dallas Shell's house pene- 
trates lead-colored sands with leaf impressions, and it is possible 
that the clay on the hillside south of the house may be the weathered 
edge of this sandy stratum. 
Through the region traversed by the Fordyce-Princeton road

contain some pebbles and would need to be screened or passed through 
a machine to remove these. 
Many exposures of stratified beds of pottery clay have been ob-

settled and it is not possible to give the land divisions on which they 
were found. They vary greatly in thickness, though it is probable
