524 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
domestic purposes. It is a cementing coal of good heating power. Coke 
of superior strength and hardness can be made from it. By a proper 
selection of the materials, and by proper methods of coking, it is quite 
probable that a coke of sufficient freedom from sulphur may be obtained. 
The firmest coke I have yet seen made from Ohio coal was produced from 
the coal of the Ohio Coal Company’s mine. 
The heavy limestone twenty-five feet above the coal is an important 
deposit. } 
STOCK TOWNSHIP. 
This township lies east of Enoch, and borders the Monroe county line. 
The Hast Fork of Duck Creek passes nearly through the middle of the 
township. This township, like almost all in this county, is hilly, but 
there is limestone enough to fertilize the soil and make it productive. 
In its geological features the township presents no peculiarities. It con- 
tains in its hills the Cumberland seam of coal, generally in good devel- 
opment. A combined geological section, taken near Carlisle (the section 
of the coal from the land of J. G. J. Smith, section 35, and the lower 
limestones from the land of Reuben Yoho, one-half mile west of Carlisle), 
is as follows: |

On the land of Mr. Smith nodules of excellent iron ore were seen one 
hundred and thirty-five feet below the coal. These nodules are generally 
rich in iron, but they are seldom found in sufficient quantity to warrant 
drifting for them. The coal is in fine thickness, and the slate parting is 
quite insignificant. The quality is fair. On the farm of A. Enochs, 
section 36, the coal is opened and appears well. Some ore of very supe- 
rior quality was also seen on his farm. The ore was not found in place,
