An examination of the map accompanying this book willreadily show these conditions more clearly than any descrip-tion can; and it is much to be regretted that the brown ironores of that end of Powells Valley—not in the coal measures—should have been so little developed so far as to leave thequestion of their quantity still in doubt. Should this ques-tion once be settled satisfactorily, it may readily be inferredthat the large quantity of fossil ore would find a most con-venient and effectual counter-check for its possible impuri-ties in an abundance of pure limonite. In fact, it is grati-fying to know that a company of experienced Pennsylvaniairon men are now engaged in settling this question in a mostpracti
