SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT—HOCKING VALLEY. 873 
ORES ABOVE THE HORIZON OF THE BAYLEY’S RUN COAL. 
The first above the coal, and doubtless the most important, is the 
“Shawnee ore.” Thisore is best known from a fine development of it at 
Iron Point, a little north-east of the village of Shawnee, in Perry county. 
The elevation of the ore seam above the Nelsonville coal is probably 
not far from one hundred feet. This is about the average of many 
instrumental measurements, which, as reported, range from ninety-one 
to one hundred and ten feet. There are variations in the bedding of the 
ore, and no two measurements are exactly alike. At one exposure of the 
ore, where it was worked in open quarry, I took the following section:

A few rods distant the laminated ore was two feet four inches thick. 
The minimum thickness is reported by Mr. E. C. Pechin as fourteen 
inches, and the maximum as four feet. In places the ore is a hard blue 
carbonate, showing less lamination, and resembling the “mountain ore”’ 
associated with the black band over Coal Seam No. 7, in Tuscarawas 
county. The laminated ore is, where I saw it, much oxydized. In its 
laminated structure it much resembles a black band, but is not like the 
typical black band in being a bituminous shale highly charged with iron. 
There are, however, sometimes thin films of coal formed by isolated frag- 
ments of coal-forming plants buried in the ancient ferruginous mud. 
This mud was deposited in layers; hence the lamination of the ore. The 
ore is divided by vertical joints, and is readily split and removed. The 
following analyses of the Iron Point ore have been made:
