VIII). On the basis of these observations, it seems to me to be probable thatthe thickness of the Newark to the top of the main basalt sheet is herenot far from 1,200 feet, the average dip being reckoned as 15°. SECTION 8.—ECONOMIC RESOURCES. In view of the fractured condition of the Newark rocks it is not tobe expected that oil will ever be obtained from them. The attemptsto sink shafts for coal—and there have been several—have
