diol water. This one is down 860 feet. Sulphur

The Laminite conglomerate at Sulphur springs does
not exceed 20 feet, and according to Mr. Ser. E. Banton,
in thickness,
nest or upturned Simpson. See below for more.
The Sulphur water appears to come of three faults
from to be here beneath the ground at the sulphur water
spring.
The true beds in the Laminite conglomerate appear
all to be of limestone. Commonly they are from 2 to 4
inches across but some where seen up to 18 inches. All are
fairly well rounded though not to the same extent seen
in track pebbles. All are said to be derived from the
Ordovician formations. This means that about 23,000
feet of strata had been eroded off the Archucles before the
Ordovician became exposed to furnish the breccias for
the Laminite conglomerate. It is for this reason that I
would refer it to the Permian and justify above
Architect time.
