Sep. 20, Saturday. Pearisburg traced up the hills back of the village to the steep ascent of Angels Rest. On the way one meets with considerable white quartzite and conglomerate which comes down from the near the top of Angels rest. Just back of the village but several hundred feet up can be seen the purple limestone also seen near Berton. Probably 600 feet higher occur shales having a few Lower and the Silurian fossils. Have some. These shales seen yesterday near the Channas on the railroad dump. Probably Devon shales. A native said that 10 years ago they used to mine red limestone on the very top of the Mt. It is therefore the quartzite that makes the sharp ascent of Angels Rest. On the mountain climbs and overhaes during the past three days have I seen the slightest evidence of Heldeburian or Oecothanians. The same is true for Hamilton. Left Pearisburg for Bluefields at 12.11 P.M.
