The rocks above Coal No. 8 are usually shale, succeeded by from fifteen 
to thirty feet of limestone to Coal No. 9. This limestone, which is found 
throughout Short Creek, Green, Cadiz, and Archer townships, is not com- 
pact, but consists of numerous thin layers, differing in structure and color, 
and separated by thinner layers of calcareous shale. The upper layer, 
immediately below Coal No. 9, occupies the position of Parker’s ‘“‘ cement- 
rock,” at Barnesville, in Belmont county. Two analyses of this rock 
have been made by Dr. Wormley, with the following results: 
No. 1. No. 2.

No. 1 was obtained from the road near the cemetery, south-east from 
Cadiz, and No. 2 from Mr. Alex. Henderson’s property, on the Deersville 
road from Cadiz. These analyses show that this layer, which is about 
two feet thick, will yield a hydraulic lime of good quality. The other 
layers afford most of the lime for domestic use in the townships referred 
to above. 
Near the border of Nottingham and Cadiz townships, along the ridge 
road to Cadiz, this limestone is entirely replaced by sandstone, which 
rests directly upon a thin shale above the coal; and this continues west 
to the limit of the coal. In Moorefield township the displacement is not 
complete, and a thin limestone rests on the shale. This condition has 
been traced into Belmont county, and to the Central Ohio Railroad, and 
is persistent in Guernsey county. The line of the eastern limit of the
