diol water. This one is down 860 feet. Sulphur is a summer resort and health place. The town is quite full of hotels and trading houses. We are stopping at the Artesian Hotel. We made 107 miles by speedometer today 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.
