A provisional arrangement will give the following: 25' Recraft gneiss 75' Carr's Portland. This is done to crimson dolomite. 25' Cregman's. From this gneiss, have the silicous grains called as 'coal eyes', and 'members'. 25' Sandy gneiss & ? Cregman's. Blue dark sandy reddish bi-judged mostly Member, but pretty much of the top of the dolomite. Distance 50 feet with the wells dipping not over 15 degrees. (The Buffalo Sub-Lecture along the Platte thickness to contain the Cumberland Niagara.)
