GEOLOGY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
PHYSICAL INDICATIONS-CLASSIFICATION-CARROLL COUNTY BE- LONGS TO THE DEVONIAN PERIOD-REMAINS OF THE UPPER SILURIAN PERIOD, WITH A PREPONDERANCE OF THE DEVONIAN -EFFECTS OF THIE GLACIAL ACTION IN THIS LOCALITY-SUB- SEQUENT DISTURBANCES-RECENT CONDITION-ANALYSIS OF SOILS-LIMESTONE AND OTHER FORMATIONS-BLACK SLATE- PROSPECTIVE COAL-BED-SOME MINERAL DEPOSITS-ECONOMIC GEOLOGY-MISCELLANY.
INVESTIGATION: has shown that the geological construction of this county places it in the Devonian period, notwith- standing distinct traces of Silurian remains are abundant, indi- cating that the formations belong to an era properly encompass- ing the major part of the Devonian and a minor proportion of the Silurian, the former having the preponderance. A reconnaissance made by Dr. Owen, State Geologist, in 1859, furnishes the fol- lowing data from which to determine something of the true situa- tion. From an examination of an exposure near Delphi, the fol- lowing section is obtained: "Soil and loose gravel, etc., ten to fifteen feet; Quaternary hard-pan and conglomerate, fifteen to twenty feet; Devonian black slate, fifty to sixty feet; Devonian limestone, twenty feet; Upper Silurian pentamerus beds, twenty feet. At the limekiln just below town, we found a local dip to the southeast amounting to forty degrees. The black slate has been washed out in the valley between Deer Creek and the Wabash, and the detritus scattered over the Devonian limestone, which contain Emmonsia hemispherica, and other fossils, over- lying the Stromatopora concentrica and Pentamerus occidentalis limestone. Between two and three miles from Delphi, consider- able samples of gold have been washed from the drift in the bed and bank of the creek, a locality well meriting further examina- tions.

HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
"On Deer Creok, a few miles from Delphi, vast quantities of calcareous tufa have formed, by filtration of water through the overlying quaternary deposits, and subsequent evaporation and consolidation, while trickling slowly over the black slate bluffs of the stream. The stalactitic and cohminar forms, offen ornamento 1 by distinct impressions of leaves on the soft tufa, with cavernons niches decked ont in the rich profusion of cryptogamic vegetation, chiefly of the liver-wort family, added to the rippling streamlets forming cascades, as they are precipitated from cedar-elad drift hills, finally, over thirty to forty feet of black slate, into the meanders of Deor Creek, all conspire to form a highly pictur- esque serpo." Ascending the north bank of the Wabash below the dam, at Pittsburg, the heavy quaternary deposits are found made up of alternato clay and gravel beds. The town is from twenty to twenty-five feet above low water. On the general level beyond, toward Monticello, about one hundred feet above low water in the Wabash. tho section is made up of drift bowldors and gravel, sometimes forming ridges, giving growth to black jacks and small hickories and white oaks, hazel bushes, sumnachs, etc., while ten to fifteen feet lowor, moderato areas of rich swamp- muck prairie intervenes.
Further information on the subject of this local formation is imparted in the report of an examination muado by Prof. Cox, Stato Geologist, in 1871 and 1872, an abstract of which is fonnd in the following review:
" At the close of the glacial epoch, this county was probably a level plain. Since that time, the Wabash River and its tribu- taries have crowded a very considerable amount of clays and bowlders deposited by the great ice flow, forming a valley in this natural plain from ten to twenty miles wido, and from 100 to 200 fert in depth, and cutting their channel down into underlying rocks about ninety feat. Hence, a great variety of soil is found to exist, ranging from the stiff clays of the bowlder drift, through many modifications, to the ancient and modern alluvial loams which aro found on the terraces bordering these rivers.
"The rocks exposed in this county belong to the Devonian and Silurian age, but it is probable that in the southern parts the conglomerate knobstones (Waverly sandstone) will yet be found. The following connected section, combined from measurements taken at several localities near Delphi and at the bluff below Pittsburg, will give a general view: Bowlder drift, fifty to two hundred feet; terraces and gravel beds thrown upon and against the last, twenty to ninety feet; Louisville-Delphi, black slate, Devonian, fifty feet; white alluvinm, hard, two foet; black slate, eighteen feet; clay shale, light color, four feet; blue slate, eight feet; band of large concretions, two feet; black shale, twelve feet; band of concretions, one foot six inches; drab shale, ten feet; gray shale, three feet six inches; Dovonian limestone, twenty-two feet; Pentamerus limestone, siliceous, thirty feet; petroleum limestone, siliceous, twenty feet -- 474 feet.
"The black slate is a prominent feature of the foregoing sec. tion. Although the exposures wore disconnected, yot combined they afford a view reaching from the bottom to within a few fcet of the upper layer. The name is established in geological no- menclature, but is hardly significant. The slate is; at exposures, a brownish gray shale with considerable iron finely disseminated. Bituminous matter is present, with petroleum in small quantities, and bituminous tar, or albertite, in fissures and partings. No fossils were noticed in the upper beds. In the lower beds, Mr. George A. Vandeventer reports having found some fern leaves. Breaking open the concretions locally known as 'bowlers,' ob-
securely marked trunks of Lepidodendron and stigmaria were found, the spines of the latter containing petroleum. Both were probably of new species. In another bowlder, I found large teeth of a fish belonging to the shark family. This horizon is rich in fish remains, and further explorations will richly reward the scientific worker.
"Immediately below the slate, a coarse, impure limestone is found, twenty-two feet thick, when seen. It is of little economic valne, but has been used for foundations and rough walls. It contains Cyrathaphylloid corals, Spirifer auritisma, Atrypa retic- ularis and Chonetes seligare.
"The Pentamorus bed is an irregular deposit, variable in its mode of ocenrrence and thickness, evidently deposited by cur- rents flowing across inequalities in the surface of regularly de- posited rocks below. It is generally found thrown upon or against these inequalities, an I consequently this deposit exhibits remarkable peculiarities of false bedding. The lines of deposit are never horizontal, sometimes nearly vertical, and at all angles betweon their directions. This phenomenon is often pointed at as the effect of subsidence and upheaval, but may be easily and more truthfully accounted for by studying the mode of deposit peculiar to this bed. The stone is crowded with casts and fossils, the animal matter being wholly removed, as Pentamerus Knightii, large and very abundant; Halysites catenulata, corals, crinoid stems and Bryozouns. The lower part of the bed is burned for lime and furnishes an article of high grade in the market. The lower bed is but partially explored at the quarries. It is similar to the last, but being free from animal and mineral impurities, presents a superior article of lime. Only a few fossils have been found, all being of the Niagara epoch of the Silurian age.
ECONOMIC GEOLOGY.
"About two-thirds of the area of Carroll County is upland variety, the modified material of the bowlder drift. Descending from the highest table-land 250 to 270 feet above the Wabash, ive find on approaching that river the soil becomes more loamy. with beaches and gravel traces, marking the ancient channel of the river from eighty to one hundred and ten feet above its present bed. The wholo county was originally clothed with a good growth of excellent timber, including white, black and red oak, walnut, poplar and maple. Good crops of coru, wheat, oats and hay are produced. Blue grass thrives, and apples, sound and of largo size, were abundant."
BRICK CLAYS.
"The clays of this county are largely composed of the pul. verized debris of the black slate. This gives placticity to the material and adds a perceptible amount of iron, which paints tlie bricks here made with an indelible ruddy color. A strangor will at once notice that the city of Delphi has the appearance of a new town. Although some of the houses have been exposed to the weather for twenty-five yoars, the brick walls are as fresh and as brightly colored as of yesterday. This building material deserves the notice of architects, as it is believed to furnish a product equal to any in the Union."
LIMESTONE.
"Soveral mines are opened and extensively worked in and near Delphi, for burning. The lime produced is of good quality, and is a specific article of trade known as 'Delphi Lime.' It sets slow, or, in mechanical terms, 'works cool.' allowing the mechanic time to spread his plaster, or lay mortar over a large

space before 'setting' and thus secures complete . contact with adjoining surfaces. On 'setting.' the cement adheres well, and becomes as hard as stone, often more compact than brick: The burned stone does not air-slack readily and consequently affords ample time to facilitate transportation. Seventy pounds of this lime, I am informed, is considered equal to eighty pounds of other Ohio or Indiana limes."
. In this county. especially in and around Delphi. lime-burning has been and is a very extensive branch of trade, viekling a large revenue with good profits to those engaged in the business. In another place, devoted to the different industries of Delphi. some. thing more in detail will be found giving a brief history of the trade and manufacture of limeras conducted by the more exten-' sive operators in that department.
COAL.
The question of the existence of coal in Carroll County at no great depths below the beds of the Wabash River and of Deer . Creek has been frequently canvassed: at this time, however, no very satisfactory developments have been made-at least, none. sufficient to justify any active movement toward an investigation of the matter to determine how much merit there is in the "ont- croppings " and " blossoms " that have been from time to time discovered along the margin of Deer Creek Prairie, on the lands of George A. Vandeventer, where they approach. the Wabash River, and on the banks of Deer Creek east of Delphi .. In these two localities especially, specimens of coal of a quality that has been used successfully in blacksmiths' furnaces, have been found! upon the surface of the ground and in considerable quantities, sufficient, it would seem, by the exercise of ordinary energy, to justify the experiment of testing the question whether coal is im. bedded within a reasonable depth below the surface to warrant the opening of a mine. Indeed, it has recently been stated on apparently good anthority. that a company, consisting chiefly of practical coal workers, stands ready to undertake the sinking of a shaft, by which the query may be solved at their own risk, and awaits the assent of the owner of the lands to make the necessary. reconnaissance-and that. Mr. Vandeventer has signified his will= ingness to afford this company all needed facilities at once. From personal observations and examinations made by the writer more than thirty years ago: from casual examinations made by others within that period, and from the geological reports of the Drs. David Dale and Richard Owen, and of Prof. Cox. of Indi- ana, there is little question that coal of a good quality and in considerable quantities may be found within one hundred feet of the surface in the banks of the Wabash in the vicinity indicated. The introduction of this additional branch of industry within the bounds of Carroll County could not fail in being a valuable ac- quisition. .
. ARCHEOLOGY.
In this department tlie progress of investigation has not been very extensive nor has it made many very important develop- ments. Among those made, the discovery of mastodon remains is, perhaps, best attested. Some time in the year 1877, while Samuel H. Robinson, residing on the northeast quarter of Section 5, Township 24 north, Range 2 west, was digging through a piece of low ground for the purpose of straightening a small branch that ran through his premises, a little north of east and about twenty rods distance from his residence, he discovered. or rather uncovered, some five feet under ground, two large teeth-one the back tooth, a grinder, six and one-half inches in length. four and
a half inches across .at the widest part and three inches at the narrowest part-the greatest length across the roots being seven inches, and the roots three and a quarter and three and three quar- ter inches in depth. The weight was five and three-fourths pounds. It had nine grinding points, four on either side and one back, the two pairs being separated by a cavity more than one inch in depth. It is in a good state of preservation, and appears, from. its great size and strength, to have been capable of immense execution in the process of crushing whatever may have been placed between this. giant masticator and its fellow. What the history of the owner of this tooth was during its active career, must. at this late day, be left wholly to conjecture. The numerons discoveries of the remains of these monsters in different parts of Northern Indiana, renders it apparent that this region of country was well adapted to the habitation of these animals, since. so many of them have found sepulture within its borders.
Other remains have been found of extinet animals of the class noted. as well as those of a different class: but, since no sufficient details have been furnished concerning them, it has been found necessary to omit any further accomits of such.
. CHAPTER XXIV. COUNTY FINANCES.
REVIEW OF THE EARLY FINANCES OF CARROLL COUNTY-REPORTS OF COUNTY TREASURERS SHOWING ABSTRACTS OF RECEIPTS' AND DISBURSEMENTS, AS THEY APPEAR OF. RECORD.
W HEN Carroll County was organized. the chief expenses in- enrred wore those which grew out of the selection of a site for and the selection and location of the seat of justice for the new county. These expenses were considerable, but under the provisions of the law relating to the location of seats of jus- tico of new counties, it was customary for the proprietors of eligi- ble sites to agree with and propose, through the instrumentality of the Commissioners appointed by the Legislature, that, in' con- sideration of selection of a particular site upon which to locate the seat of justice, a donation would be made of lands and lots sometimes money. in value or amount sufficient, not only to pay. the expenses incident to the location and establishment of the county seat. but enongh sometimes to pay. for the erection and completion of the first public buildings required for county pur, poses, including the site for the public square and the lands and. moneys' as well were placed . in charge of an officer called the County Agent, whose duty it was under the law to receive all such, donations, and, under the direction of the County Board, to canse the lands and lots so donated to be converted into money, and. upon their order, to pay out of the fund thus created all the ex- penses in any way growing out of the location of the seat of jus- tice and tho erection of public buildings. .. In the chapter appro- priated to the organization of the county and the proceedings relating to and connected with the assumption of the powers of a separate and independent jurisdiction by the people of the county, these matters are set forth in substantially complete detail, and to which reference is made. Therefore, this County Ageut, so far as those expenses were concerned. was the treasurer and cus- todian of that class of funds-made so by the law. authorizing the formation of a separate jurisdiction. Samuel Milroy was the first agent of the county of Carroll, appointed pursuant to the organic act, and discharged the duties of his office with fidelity and skill.
167
HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
Here, the appointment of a County Treasurer preceded the appointment of a County Agent; the office, however, at that time was little more than nominal, there being no moneys in his hands except such as were received from the County Agent. Daniel Baum, Sr., was first appointed Treasurer of the county, on the 12th of May, 1828, while Mr. Milroy was not appointed agent until the 24th -- twelve days later. The penalty affixed to Mr. Baum's official bond was $1,000, yet his report, filed ou the 10th of November, 1829, showed that his receipts amounted to the aggregate sum of $495, and he was allowed, as his full percentage for receiving that sum. only $7.40.
On the 8th of February, 1830, Mr. Baum was again appointed Treasurer, and in his further report, submitted on the 14th of February, 1831, there was a balance of $72.873 found to be in the treasury upon settlement with him at that date. He was allowed, for percentage that year, $7.50. The office certainly was not a very lucrative one in those days, and he resigned the trust, the vacancy being filled by William George. Upon settle- ment with the new Treasurer, on the 20 of Jannary, 1832, a balance of $182.264 was found to be remaining in the treasury. At the settlement on the 7th of January. 1833, it was shown that of the funds received by the Treasurer during the preceding year- there remained in his hands undisbursed the sum of $823.802.
Mr. George, in his report submitted September 7, 1835, makes the following showing of the condition of the county finances at that date:
