202 Trible House, Well, southeast
angle made by the intersec-
ting railroads. The junc-
tion is 8 tenths of a mile
south of Duffins cut, and
the railroad lines lie 34
feet below the track at the cut,
14 feet below the railroad
track. Mr. Trible's workman
struck the black shale, and
after passing through 13 feet
of the shale, reached the
brecciated layer below. The
top of the brecciated layer
occurs therefore 27 feet below
the railroad track at the
junction or, 61 feet below
the track at (the) Duffins
cut.
The brecciated rock is here
6 feet thick. The bed full
of chert layers and concre-
tionous is about 5 feet
thick. The well barely
passed through this layer.
Lincoln County, Shelby City.
Tank C.S. railroad.
216 At the tank on the Cincinnati Southern, 1.2 miles south of Junction City the top of brecciated bed is well exposed below the railroad bridge, and down the creek, east of the bridge. The bridge was once 36 feet below Junction city, but the bridge was raised 4 feet so that at present it is only 32 feet below. The brecciated rock is 18 feet below the bridge, so that it is 50 feet below Junction City or 84 feet below Duffins cut.
