The section here is as follows : 1. Loam 10 ft 2. Lafayette Gravel (Stratified Drift).. 50ft. 3. Stratum of limonite % in. 4. Grey clay 15ft] No. 2104. Refractory clay, from near Moore's Mill, one mile southwest of Blandville, Ballard county. It is exposed in the foot of the high bluffs that face the bottom lands of May- field creek. [This property is near the Blandville and Bardwell Road and is owned by Mr. Henry Johnson (1905). ] At one point, a bed of lignite overlies the deposit. When fresh...ly exposed it is bluish in color, but dries to a light grey color, nearly white, but with some yellow ochreous spots. It is quite plastic, calcines to a light salmon color, and is quite refractory before the blow-pipe. It contains nearly forty-eight per cent, of white sand, which was so fine that it was somewnat plastic when wet and adherent when dry. The shrinkage of this clay, as shown by tests at the Rook wood Pottery, is about fifteen per cent. , and the ware made from it is colored dark buff or yellowish.
