502 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
on the Newport side is at or very near the mouth of a little tributary 
of the Ohio called Conley’s Run. This isa little above the mouth of New- 
ell’s Run. In the immediate bank of the Ohio we find by far the lowest 
rocks, geologically considered, in the county, for the bottom of this up-. 
lift is, geologically, about one hundred and sixty-five feet lower than the 
bottom of the Cow Run uplift. The sandrock in which the old Newton 
well, on Cow Run, found its oil, is here seen in the Ohio River bank. 
The following section gives the lower strata near the mouth of Conley’s 
Run:

Level of water Ohio River. (This is the lower part of section No. 29, Map XI.) 
The limestone No. 1 of this section is doubtless the equivalent of the 
Cambridge fossiliferous limestone, which is seen in many counties, and 
has its place about two hundred and thirty feet below the horizon of the 
Pomeroy seam of coal. I have observed it nowhere else in Washington 
county ; indeed, at no other point could we expect to find it except in 
the Newell’s Run uplift. The thin coal found eighteen feet below this 
limestone is found in other counties, always holding the same relation 
to the Cambridge limestone. It is always thin, and of no practical value. 
There is often a thin seam of coal a few feet above the limestone, but it 
was not seen in the uplift. No very good exposures of the strata imme- - 
diately above the limestone, however, were seen, and no careful search 
was made for it. It was not reported as passed through in the Cow Run 
wells, while the seam eighteen feet below was found in its true place. On 
the farm of Mr. Joseph O’Neal, between Conley’s Run and the mouth of 
Newell’s Run, a well was bored by F. W. Minshall, Esq., the top of the 
well being four feet below the Cambridge limestone. The following is 
a record of the strata passed through :
