Wes. SAT. MARCH 20, 1909 Ther.
Wednesday, Sep. 26 1928
Raining. Left Phillipsburg, Quebec late.
Cleared up enough to do some work in the gorge
of the Mininiquari at Highgate.
Last years great flood cleaned out all
of the loose material, and one now sees the entire
succession down to the Milton dol. It appears
to be an unbroken sequence.
The Highgate sl (in places up to 1000' thick)
includes the ls series in the base and goes down
to about the great coal gme. However, the thin
ls above this coal are of the character of the
Mininiquari, and this may mean that there
is here no break between it and the younger
Highgate. To tell this one with Keith.
The various intraformational coals in the
Mininiquari can be seen to be of local origin.
Beneath the thin laddled ls of the Mininingan
come in the Hacket dolomite or with intraformational
coals gmes and several gms of quartz jts. Above
these Hacket sls are fairly perpendicular but below
they become more and more leveled out in the
