864 GEOLOGY OF OHIO, 
represents the Putnam Hilllimestone. No. 5 is a distinct coal horizon. 
I have met this coal in many places. The shales over it and also the nod- 
ules of ore, are often rich in coal plants. They are separated from the 
coal above by the regular under clay of that seam. 
At the Crafts’ Iron Works, now building, at the mouth of Little Mon- 
day Creek, Green township, Hocking county, the Baird ore is by meas- 
urement thirty-seven feet and six inches below the Nelsonville seam of 
coal. Mr. Crafts has favored me with a measured section of the forma- 
tion on the company’s lands.

With an ore of so high a percentage of iron, with so little phosphorus 
and relatively so little silica, and furthermore, with a coal of great 
promise, it may be predicted that Mr. Crafts, who combines a scientific 
knowledge of iron-making with much successful practice, will make his 
furnace an entire success. 
On Monday Creek, a few miles below the Crafts’ Furnace, is the fur- 
nace, now nearly completed, of the Monday Creek Iron Company. Mr.
