In Caryall townsbip there is a strip of land a little higher than the 
river bank, running about a mile north of the Maumee, the surfacé of 
which is more gravelly or sandy, in which wells obtain water at about 
Six or eight feet in compact gravel. They pass through fine, impervious 
clay, the bottom of which is more gravelly. The water is good. This 
strip is known and spoken of as a ridge. 
At Paulding Mr. Jehiel Seger, a practical well-digger, gives the follow-

It is a current belief at Paulding that wells that go through the ‘“hard- 
pan,” or the layer of cemented gravel near the bottom of the -Drift, are 
‘through the rock.” The rock at Paulding is about thirty feet below 
the surface. Mr. Emery’s well there reached the Waterlime at twenty- 
six feet; at least drillings brought up were of that limestone. 
MATERIAL RESOURCES. 
Stone and Brick—But very little has been done in Paulding county 
toward developing its natural resources; indeed, it is yet but very sparsely 
settled. The county will never be noted for its mineral products. The 
limestones that underlie the county are not known to contain anything 
of marked economical value. They are very little exposed, so far as now
