The ore contains an undesirable per centage of silica, but in other re- 
spects is of fair quality. When the mine is driven under the hills the 
ore will become a blue carbonate, but probably much oxydized ore may 
be obtained by stripping along the outcrop. Here, as at the Akron 
Furnace, the ore, limestone, and coal are all in the same hill and can be 
put into a furnace at very small cost. | 
On Meeker Run, below Nelsonville, the Bessemer ore, one foot eleven 
inches thick, is reported on the land of J. L. Gill, Esq. It is seventy-six 
feet above the Nelsonville coal. It is eleven feet seven inches below the 
Bayley’s Run coal, here about ninety feet above the great seam. About 
twelve feet below the Bessemer ore is the limestone, two feet ten inches 
thick. On this limestone is a deposit of ore reported to be a foot thick. 
I have no analyses of any of the ores on this estate, except that furnished 
by Prof. T. 8. Hunt, of the ore below the Nelsonville seam of coal, which 
has already been given. 
I have little doubt that the Bessemer ore will be found extensively 
in the hills west of the Hocking River, in the vicinity of Nelsonville. 
I think I have seen traces of it on Fioodwood, and it is reported at Salina, 
and as far north as Lick Run. In the hills between the Hocking River 
and Monday Creek it is often seen. W. B. Brooks, Esq., reports its 
existence, in fine thickness, on his coal lands in Section 19, Ward 
township, Hocking county. It is said to be nodular above and in a solid 
layer below. This ore is about eighty-five feet above the Nelsonville 
seam of coal and eighteen to twenty feet above the limestone. The 
Bayley’s Run coal, three feet thick, is found a little above the Bessemer 
ore. At an elevation of one hundred and fourteen feet above the Nelson- 
ville coal is another reported deposit of ore, and still another one hun- 
dred and s;venty-six feet above the same coal. It has already been 
stated that the Baird ore is found below the coal on the Brooks land.
