sentation of the Tymochtee slate. It lies in thin, blue layers, with 
black, bituminous films separating the beds. The edges of the bedding 
are sometimes horizontally streaked with bluish drab. The best stone 
here is three inches-thick. It brings $1 per perch for walls at the 
quarry. Second grade stone for walling is sold at the quarry for 624 
cents per perch; third grade for walls G inch to 1 inch), 374 cents per

At Lima, in Ottawa township, the quarries of Delzall and Overmeyer 
and of Wadhams and Bowers are situated in the Ottawa, and are prin- 
cipally occupied in lime-burning. At the former about four and a half 
feet are seen in beds of one to two inches. Some of it is rough and 
vesicular, but in beds not over six inches. Stone has also been taken 
from the bed of the Ottawa, at Lima, on T. K. J acobs’s land. 
Near Gomer, in Sugar Creek township, the bed of the Ottawa is rocky. 
It may be seen on the land of Isaac H. Clevenger (section 20), where it 
lies in thin, horizontal beds; also on the land of David Roberts, near the 
county line, where the beds are three to four inches, and dip south. 
Formerly stone was taken from the same creek at Allentown, section 29, 
German township. 
In the township of Marion the Waterlime shows in the bed of the 
river, N. H.4 section 28, and on David Robinson’s land, S. E. 4 section 
21. Some has been taken out at the latter place in blocks six inches 
thick. The abutments of the highway bridge over the Auglaize at this 
place are of Waterlime blocks, twelve to sixteen inches thick, like the 
stone obtained from Bcoehmer’s quarry at Fort Jennings, in Putnam 
county. They are capped with sawn blocks of Lower Corniferous from 
Charloe, in Paulding county, and angled with blue Niagara from Piqua, 
in Miami county. The Waterlime has been slightly worked in the bed 
of the Auglaize at various points near Cramersville (section 3). Such 
quarries are owned by W. V. Scott and John Welsh. Mr. Welsh also 
burns some lime. John A. Seitz also runs a lime-kiln, S. E. + section 35. 
In Amanda township the chief exposures of the Waterlime are in the 
Auglaize, near the county line. It occurs in blue layers on the land of 
Samuel Stewart, N. H.4 section 9. Onthe N. HE. 4 section 15 it lies in 
thin, blue layers on the land of William Bice; and on the S. EH. 4 of 
the same section, between Mr. James Sunderland’s and Mr. Samuel
