520 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
The coal in the above section is the ‘Upper Barnesville,” or Cum- 
berland seam. No measurement was made, but in this region it ought to 
be found thick enough for working. The cement limestones are promis- 
ing. The distance from the railroad would probably make the manufac- 
ture of cement lime unprofitable at present. 
Whether the Cambridge seam of coal exists in full thickness below the 
surface in this township, can only be known by trial borings. Such 
borings would not be expensive if located in the deeper valleys. The 
place of the Cambridge seam is proximately five hundred and ten to five 
hundred and twenty feet below the Cumberland seam, or two hundred 
and ten to two hundred and twenty below the Ames fossiliferous lime- 
stone. This limestone is seen in the township. It is about three hun- 
dred and twenty feet below the Cumberland seam of coal. 
WAYNE TOWNSHIP. 
This township hes on the northern border of the county. Wills Creek 
flows through the township in a north-west direction. The soil is gen- 
erally most excellent. Probably few of the hills are high enough to 
take the Cumberland seam of coal, and the Cambridge seam is below the ~ 
bed of Wills Creek. 
A section taken near Kennonsburg shows the following limestones:

The relations of the Ames limestone both to the Pomeroy and Cumber- 
land seams may be seen from Map XII, as also its relations to the 
Cambridge seam, which is below. There are some seams of coal which 
are elsewhere found in the geological range of the vertical space in the 
above section, but they are always thin. 
BEAVER TOWNSHIP. 
This is the north-eastern township of the county, and is one of the 
richest in agricultural resources. Its valleys are very fertile and very 
beautiful. The hills abound in limestone, and many of the shales are 
rich in lime. 7
