maybe seen exposures of the dinosite in the north gully of the road.
Here one of the dinosite is conglomerate but as to what the
bottles are made of ore did not determine. This must be done
before we leave this area. In about a 1/4 mile one came upon
the first exposure of the dinosite [Specimen 1]. Rising of
the road one came upon other exposures (Specimen 2) of the same
ore, then to a small firm and easily fracturing mass and
down a more crystalline ore (see sample). All this in about 1/2
mile. Then in about 1/4 mile one or are near the center of the
mountain where there are great exposures of the dinosite, all
placiated and especially on the sides of the vertical cliffs. Farth
down the eastern side one also saw placied strias and large

gorges (see their). Just before one came to contact with an
alluvial sandstone there was an opening made for prospecting some
days. Here the dinosite is most granular. The note on the fore
mining face refers to the exposures here. Rising on over this in
considerately the sandstone, say for a half mile, when one comes
upon another dinosite more quartzitic and with more feldspar
than before (See the Specimen). Going down the hill one again
came upon great thick mass of the dinosite that continues to the
bottom of the mountain, and here are again saw the contact
(around alluvial, creating other, say for hills area) as in the top of the
mountain amid the sandstone.
As this sandstone is a heavy beds and is wholly unlike
