No. 1 was made by Mr. E. 8. Gregory, and furnished me by Mr. J. G. 
Chamberlain; No. 3 was given by Mr. A. J. Long, of Akron, to Mr. 
Pechin; No. 2 was given me by General S. Thomas, of Columbus. An 
analysis of the pig iron from the Fannie Furnace is quoted from Mr. 
Pechin, as follow

There are four furnaces in operation at Shawnee, all using the Iron 
Point ores. These are:

The fuel used at all of these furnaces is raw coal from the Nelsonville 
seam. The limestone is from a seam generally found about sixty feet 
above the coal. Itis here reported to be from two to two and one-half feet 
thick. Until drifts are required the stone may be obtained at little ex- 
pense. All the raw materials are procured at a small cost, and pig iron 
is consequently made very cheaply. By admixture of the native ores 
with those from Lake Superior and elsewhere, iron adapted to meet dif- 
ferent wants may be made. The area over which the Shawnee ore is 
known to exist in the Iron Point field is not very great, but new explor-. 
ations will doubtless enlarge it. 
South of Iron Point several shafts have been su k for the ore on the 
lands of the Straitsville Cannel Coal Company of New York. J. H. 
Lyons, Esq , the Superintendent, has kindly furnished me with the facts 
ascertained. About forty feet above the Bayley’s Run coal he found at 
every point a thin seam of coal. This is doubtless the equivalent of a 
seam found from forty to fifty feet above the Bayley’s Run seam, on 
Lower Sunday Creek. In one shaft he found a blue carbonate of iron 
twenty six feet below this thin upper coal. Here the ore is two feet six 
inches thick. In the next shaft the section is very interesting and sig- 
nificant. The following is the section :
