= mesa. At farming, rye ranching and sage brush is
our common. The landscape is monotonous.
Collected in an arm either in the top of the Fredoners
by a hard kick of brashita at seven mile crease east
of Fort Stockton. See the fossils.
at 4:30 P.M.
Soon after leaving Fort Stocketm, we begin to
see the madera Cret, covered by Permian strata for
which has been over the Comanchean. It is thought to
have an ypires man below but no one has seen it,
and all the strata are in granite. The Cret, is up-
turned and then in a series of sharp faults in smoke.
In all around.
At Fort Stockton there is a great spring - Common-
The Spring that yield daily 60,000,000 gallons of water
and irrigates about 10,000 acres of land.
We are following the Great R.R. to Alpine. At
44 miles W. of Ft Stockton and very heavy we
collect a few more Comanche fossils, and of the
same karym as at seven mile Crease.
Set to Alpine at 7 P.M. and Ray Baker had
arrived. Keyte, Baldwin, Blanchard and Bills
are also here.
Talked long after dark over the Permian salt and
Syphon are deposited. I got clear notions about it.
