July 7 - 1918. Sunday. Patan Port
This morning walked 4 miles north to the great quarries of the Dominion Iron and Steel Co. Here they got their flux in the upper part of the Beelman town (faulty but put around), and the basal beds of the Chazy (faulty 30 feet to north edge of quarry face). The Beelman town is here a dirty gellor (weathered) and consists of the crumpled clinozircon beds seen yesterday near the Smocks. The Chazy is a dark grey, and is in leaning beds. The town contacts sharply. Here are again saw the line of separation, and at this level there is (either a sliding fault or) a small zone of Chazy to flux, partly intergrade. In sum, cutting slightly transverse the Beelman town. They quarry mostly a drawing up affected.
[illegible]
At the front we saw one flux x and two men William Lemire (Engineer) and James O'Rourke (Cork). They look like good fellows, drilling and ate in their line. Their day began on the 20th of June.
On our way this morning we saw on the road back of the Lead quarry the Windsor here a decided limestone employment (Andriecia pettole). It is the roof off basal Windsor here on the Chazy. The contact one did not see.
At about one mile northward one could look into the second lead quarry another parallel faulted area over the Windsor drilled in. This one is entirely deeper but appear to be them.
