Sep. 20th. Monday. Left Cincinnati on the Big Four at 12.30 P.M. for St. Louis. Arrived here at 9.15 P.M. Sep. 21st. Tuesday. St. Louis Started out this morning at 7.30 for Kinismell 25 miles south of St. Louis, on the St. Louis and San Mountain and Southern R.R. To the north of the town beside the railway is an abandoned smelter and key may be seen quarried in the Kinswies limestone. The rock is coarse crystalline limestone speckled with ammoniated phinks among which the Bays are most conspicuous and cream-colored material. Considerable secondary alteration has taken place originally for them are orange earths filled with calcite. Near the surface the actual limestone is porous due to puerlothy oratus, The strata dip to the north-east 10 to 15 degrees. Less than 1/8 mile north along the track is a high cliff of delay once in less dense, chiefly fracturing limestone that state to be basal Mississippian. As it is raining I can make no effort to find here the Fernvale.
