18. Coal once exposed, Hobson seam. 
The place where this lower coal was seen is by estimate forty feet 
above the level of the Muskingum River. It is probably ten or fifteen 
feet higher than the same seam in the Narrows below Harmar. Neither 
of the seams of coal in the above section was exposed for measurement. 
On the land of Jacob Sutter, on Second Creek, a seam of coal is found 
with the following associated strata : |

Bed of Second Creek. 
I suppose this to be the Hobson seam. In the bed of Second Creek 
abundant nodules of rich iron ore are found. These have been gathered _ 
and used for the puddling furnaces in the Marietta rolling-mill. Many 
years since I traced these nodules to their origin in a stratum of blue 
clay, from which they had been washed. While examining the region 
in the prosecution of the State Survey, the clay seam was found to be 
buried, and its exact place was not identified and no measurement 
taken, but I have no doubt that it is the same blue clay which carries 
nodular ore seen on March Run hill, about seventy feet above the level 
of the Hobson coal. Under a bridge over Second Creek, on the plank- 
road, near the east line of the township, is a thin seam of limestone con- 
taining scales of fishes and some small univalve shells. 
SALEM TOWNSHIP. 
This township lies east of Adams. Its drainage is entirely by the 
waters of Duck Creek and its tributaries, excepting the western margin, 
which is drained by Bear Creek. Duck Creek, in this township, is re-
