522 _ GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
The cement limestone would doubtless answer for making cement—at 
least it is worthy of trial. It is too far from the railroad for profitable 
working, but it will be needed at some future day. The coal is of fair 
quality. 
CENTER TOWNSHIP. 
This township is situated east of Noble and north of Olive and Enoch 
townships. It is drained on the south by the tributaries of the east and 
west forks of Duck Creek, and on the north by one of the branches of 
Wills Creek. Much of the soil is excellent. The principal coal is of the 
Cumberland seam, which is every where'to be found at its proper eleva- 
tion in the hills. The following section was taken in section 18, in this 
township:

The coal is of fair quality. 
MARION TOWNSHIP. 
This township lies east of Centre and Seneca townships. Its northern 
border is upon Wills Creek, and its south-western upon Duck Creek. It 
is hilly, but the soil is generally good. In some of the valleys receiving 
the wash of the limestone of the hills the soil is most fertile.
