Seite 74 - Good crops of corn, potatoes and wheat, are gr«wn on the river bottoms ; some of the first averaging full 60 bushels to the acre. Fair crops of wheat, oats and grass are gathered on the ordinary hill lands, and on the table lands the crops are of excellent quality. county, and flow thence through Monroe and Lawrence into East "White River. Thus almost the whole watershed of the county together with a considerable portion of Jackson on the south, is drained by this stream. Bean Blossom creek has...

Seite 15 - The clay lies immediately beneath the Millstone grit or pebbly conglomerate of the coal measures and here occupies the place of a bed of Archimedes limestone which is seen in situ about two miles southeast of the mine. The overlying sandstone is very ferruginous and the base, where exposed to the weather, has decomposed and covered the clay in places to a depth of eight or ten feet with ferruginous sand and pebbles. There is a constant oozing of water from this sandstone which has, no doubt...
Seite 228 - Muhl. All undoubtedly run together in this locality. Specimens of these different species have been found growing in the same patches, and even from the same root. The leaves vary from almost entire to finely dissected. Sometimes there are three leaves in a whorl ; sometimes these leaves are alternate; sometimes there are four alternate leaves ; often there are but two leaves either opposite or alternate. In fact there is no kind of division or position of leaves which is net represented in this...

The rapid current of the ice water would naturally carry down stream the lighter sand and gravel, and sort out and leave behind the heavier rocks, gold and magnetite in considerable quantities. Afterwards as the ice-foot withdrew toward the North* this melting, sorting, sifting process was carried on North of Indian creek ridge, for a longer time, as is indicated by the greater width and depth of that creek valley,...

The overlying sandstone is very ferruginous, and the base, where exposed to the weather, has decomposed and covered the clay in places to a depth of eight or ten feet with ferruginous sand and pebbles. There is a constant oozing of water from this sandstone which has, no doubt, played an important part in the chemistry of the clay and hematite deposit, for though similar in its chemical composition to kaolin, this clay differs...
Seite 33 - ... from which the dwellers within the enclosure could secure an abundant supply of water at all times and would prove invaluable in time of siege. On the high ground, near the cave spring, are a number of circular depressions which probably mark the place of sinks such as are common to prehistoric works of this class; The enclosure contains about twelve acres. Fig. 2 represents a section of the strata forming the mural walls on the north and south sides. The hight of the section, measured from the...

Seite 78 - Still above the outside wall of the county, several peakp, notably the Weed Patch Knob, rise from 50 to 125 feet. Around their sides the ice water has deposited slight terraces containing minute pebbles and some imported material, as if to record the highest flood upon this meter of the great glacial river; while white and bare, these storm-scarred summits looked out over the wintry wild, and saw that rigid river of ice menace their base, or turn to right and left into the two White river valleys,...
