timately connected with the flint above Coal No. 3. Between these, and 
about twenty-five feet below Coal No. 2, is a thick bed which may prove 
to be of some value, if one can judge from road-side exposures. It has 
never been tested, and no satisfactory specimens could be obtained for 
analysis. 
The upper bed is worked to some extent near Frazeysburg, on prop- 
erty belonging to Mr. Abram Adams, and on that of Mr. H. Lemmert, as 
well as at several other localities nearer the village. It lies near the sur- 
face, and is obtained by stripping from three to twelve feet of superficial 
deposits. It varies in thickness from eighteen inches to three feet, but 
is much injured by its association with the flint, which, though usu- 
ally very thin, sometimes replaces the ore entirely. This ore occurs in 
plates and is obtained with considerable ease, each digger averaging 
about two tonsa day. It frequently contains well-preserved casts of Pro- 
ductus and Spirifer. | 
Specimens of this ore yield the following on analysis. No. 1 is from 
Mr. Abram Adams and No. 2 from Mr. Lemmert, the latter converted into 
limonite by exposure :

This bed is not persistent to the north-east of Frazeysburg. On the 
West Carlisle road the flint is found of a beautiful bluish-black color, 
and containing many fossils. Upon it rests a thin seam of iron ore, 
capped by a grayish limestone. Three miles from Frazeysburg both 
flint and ore have disappeared and the limestone has become double, 
with three feet of coarse sandstone between the layers. 
The lower ore bed was worked thirty-five years ago on Mr. Jackson 
Blizzard’s property, but the workings have fallen in, and so concealed all 
exposures. The revival of mining has called attention to this bed, and
