July 4-1918 North Branch
nearing a fault line." The brook bed continues for a few
hundreds of yards and then stands critically. Above this the
stream narrows quickly and cascades down over the dark
darkness the Cars, having dip structures or denus to near the faulty line and here still partly,
from rock. The stream is "marked and ochre" with the
clearage parallel to the contact with the grinds and
critical. About 50 feet farther up stream it is cut by a
fine red granite porphyrite dyke about 3 feet thick which
stands critically across the stream. It contains flakes of mica
as big as any hand." Have a large piece of it. Far down
the stream bed one sees pieces of these dikes. "This parallel
dike of the same material occurs a few feet higher. About
50 feet higher up stream is a 3 foot vein of nearly pure
white quartz." As float this is also seen more than mile
downstream. In this upper region of the brook are boulders
"of a heavy rock composed of quartz and a flake mineral."
We have a sample of it. They come down from higher up
in the brook.
The contact of the grinds with the igneous rock comes
in on this brook at about 400 feet (around) above the Ordway
river, and about 1/2 miles of the brook. The contact is
therefore well up in the flanks of the Long Range, rather a
surprise to me. All of this shows that there is here Mr
Conklin on any Oidician, it is all Clark south
of Bay St. George.
