The ore bed may possibly be coex-tensive with these beds of shales and sandstones associatedwith it. The above estimate or ore tonnage will, therefore,doubtless prove much greater in actual development. An additional supply of Clinton hematite ore will prob-ably come from Jack and Simmons mountain to the south-west, but the small amount of prospect work there has notyet shown veins of workable width. The Clinton ore onNorth Fork Mountain is usually thin and sandy and is of. Plat& III.—A.—Brown Hematite Ore Bed on Hiner Land Southof Franklin, Pendleton County. M 1
