scientific wonders of this region, stop at Cairo,
Ritchie county, to examine what is known as
the virtical bitumen lode. Geologists call it
soild crystalized petroleum or mineral oil. —
This lode is situated on McFarland’s Run, a
small tributary of the south fork of Hughes
River, about eight miles from Cairo station, or
about twenty miles southeast from Parkers
burg. The mineral has been traced one and a
half miles in a line running south seventy-six
degrees east. The lode is nearly five feet wide,
and lies between two horizontal sandstone
rocks It is without the least trace of impurity,
and is divided .into distinct parts by an irregu-
larjvertical joint or seem, one portion of it be
ing fibrous and the other granulated. The
mountains on the > two sides of McFarland’s
Run rise with a gradual slope about four hun
dred feet high and the fissnre in which the
mineral is deposited extends right through
them, and within five to eight feet of the top
surface. Os course there are numerous the
ories broached to account for the production
of so remarkable a mineral deposit, but the
most reasonable one appears to be that it is
the result of the gradual oxidation of liquid
petroleum that had been forded up and injected
into this fissure by Borne violent convulsion of
nature.”
