The ore is a sesquioxide of iron but slightly hydrated, the combined 
water being only 4.60 per cent. The following is the analysis of the ore 
by Prof. Wormley :

The ore is rich in iron, and its remarkable freedom from phosphorus 
and sulphur makes it the best possible material for an iron for conver- 
sion into steel. The location is worthy of careful investigation to deter- 
mine the quantity of ore. In the slide of the hill-side. were large, lamin- 
ated blocks of ore six inches thick. When the ore is traced to its 
original stratum it may be found mtch thicker. It is an ore of very 
great promise. The coal of W. C. Bevan, section 26, is the Cumberland 
seam. ‘The lower bench is reported to be four feet thick, and the upper 
one foot eight inches. | 
On the land of W. W. Collins, below Carlisle, the Cumberland seam of 
coal is two hundred and twenty feet above the East Fork of Duck Creek. 
The lower bench is about five feet thick, separated from the upper bench 
of ten inches by two feet of clay. A sample from the lower bench was 
analyzed by Prof. Wormley, with the following result:
