Heavy beds of shale given as, dip 80 S. 70 E.
This section takes one into the east side of the second large
ore (11.3 y. mine), to a point about 200 yards northwst of

The next exposure is near this one, leaving an unexpected
natural of at least 3000 feet wide across the strike which at
an average dip of 60 would include a thickness of

feet of unseen strata.
The exposure begins again about 100 yards east of the oil
