HOCKING VALLEY. T11 
on the surface of which small fragments of rich ore are abundant, indi- 
cating that thorough exploration will be rewarded by the discovery of 
important ore deposits. Mr. Brooks reports a valuable ore on Section 19, 
Ward township, at from one hundred and seventy-five to two hundred 
feet above the Great Vein, and one on Section 29, York township, at an 
elevation of from one hundred and forty to one hundred and fifty feet 
above the Great Vein. The last is doubtless the same ore as the brown 
oxide mentioned above, the other an ore in the ferruginous shales below 
the upper ore of the section. 
On Section 16, Ward township, an ore is reported about one hundred 
and eighty feet above the Great Vein, three to four feet thick, in large 
bowlders, on the outside a rich sesquioxide. New deposits and new 
openings are reported so often that it 1s impossible to personally inspect 
them all without delaying indefinitely the publication of this report. 
-The following analyses of the ores of this part of the field have been 
made for this report by Spencer B. Newberry, of Cleveland. Other 
analyses have been promised by the owners of different mining proper- 
ties, and it was hoped that they would be obtained in time for insertion
