with the exception of included
pobbles, appears to be very recent.
The sandstones are friable &
uncemented, the clays are almost all unconsolidated,
and the lignite is yet worthy - so much so that
spines of [illegible] stand out free in
the laminae. Slight folding with E-W strike may be
actual, or the recent beds may have been laid down
on earlier folds which erosion (caypit) is again uncovering.
The seeming strike of the local ridges is parallel with
the big mountain system 30 miles to the north. The
apparent

by the E-W Courses of the Black River, Eleena River,
