Therefore we have here about one mile from S70 the top floor and thus Surface of land E 1st 65 degree Bridgetown W 10 deg. 60 deg. 3/4 mile To the north, in another mile, plain, sand, I see no rays or mines on small hills. On the map, it is Perm. 5 to 8 miles Farther northeast, the rim of Permian lies in with the strata dipping gently in a direction from Marathon. plain done following.
