10. Nelsonville or Great seam. 
Here the blue ores represent the Shawnee horizon. The upper ore is 
rich on the top, but grows more sandy until the sandstone is reached ; 
while the lower ore begins sandy on the top and becomes rich at the 
bottom. The bottom of the ore is ninety-two feet above the Nelsonville 
coal, and five feet above the Bayley’s Run seam, which is here in full 
thickness. In another shaft, beginning with the upper thin coal, we 
find other ores.

In another shaft the Shawnee ore is composed of a layer of two feet of 
blue ore, with one foot five inches of nodular ore underneath. There are 
also nodules of ore filling a space of one foot three inches about ten feet 
below the thin coal, which is here twenty-nine feet above the Shawnee ore. 
By three instrumental measurements, Mr Lyons made the interval from 
the Nelsonville coal to the Iron Point ore ninety-one, ninety-two, and 
ninety-three feet, respectively; but he found the ore varying in level ten 
_ feet in the space of six rods. These measurements appear to verify his 
conclusion that the blue ore from five to twelve feet above the Bayley’s 
Run coal is the equivalent of the Iron Point seam, although it nowhere 
presents the laminated structure of the latter. 
Through the labors of the Moxahala Iron Company, the equivalent of 
the Iron Point ore has been found at several places in thickness varying 
from one foot to thirteen feet. The Hone ore, first discovered by Mr. 
Lewis Wolfe, is on a hill between Moxahala and New Lexington. It is 
reported to be by measurement a little overone hundred feet above the Nel- 
‘sonville seam of coal. The ore rests upon a sand-rock, and no coal was 
seen belowit. In this region the Bayley’s Run coal is generaily absent—
