Not illustrated. 1879 Excerpt: ...line, we come to Harris's Fording, and descending a ravine at this locality, we get section, Fig. 56. Here the Ferriferous limestone attains an enormous development, and huge blocks of it, as large as an ordinary house, lie scattered over the hill, along and below its bed. It has also thickened up to the same size on the opposite side of the creek. At this locality we see the U. Mercer limestone coming into the section again as No. 2, which is partly limestone and partly iron ore. The coal below it is slaty and worthless as we always find it along the stream. Some one has attempted to open it near the Fording, but the coal was so bad that the attempt was given up. It probably contains 40 per cent, of ash. The Lower Mercer limestone, No. 6, is a compact, darkbluish rock, breaking with sharp angular fracture, and perfectly filled with organic remains. The coal below it is better here than we usually see it, and looks as though it would burn quite well. The Upper Connoquenessing sandstone is a very massive stratum, and stands out in perpendicular cliffs on the east bank of the stream. Just at the Fording, an oil well is now being operated by Mr. Xiukens. It commences 10 feet above the creek, and obtains the oil at about 190 feet, which makes it at the same horizon as the oil obtained in the vicinity of Armstrong's Fording, in Wayne and Perry townships, since the oil is found there 237 feet below the Lower Mercer limestone, and, at this locality, comes 240 feet below the same rock. The yield is small, only 3 to 4 barrels daily, but the oil is of the heavy or lubricating variety, and thus it pays to pump it. It ranges in gravity from 32 to 36. No regular record of the strata, passed through in the boring, was kept. About one mile above this, a test well was dril...
