641 Farthest or rather exposure is a dyke, of diabase I think running N85W and cutting across the slates whose strike is N70-75E, dips nearly vertical or faintly towards N. The real strike can be detected by the fine banding confered if changes I call or by fine scale and clears. East of this dyke and first part of the same I think stratify vertically are bands of quarts following the true strike of the slates. This would seem as though they might be met- tamorphic sand sedimentary beds but they seem to break across the slate layers a bit, the turns which they can come up and al- though they be in a decided by sedimentary ap- pearance I am conclud, they were veins. The cleavage has a direction here in the slate d N75 dip vertical, and stops abruptly at the 'candet ore'. In the sandstone are clefts running N60W. In one or two layers of shale intercalated the cleavage is the same as the general cleavage with air. This leads me to believe that the cleavage of the shales was made after the intrusion of the quartz veins, and per- haps at the same time or after the dyke between. At the north side of the road the strike is E+W, and the dip is 75N. The cleavage is N65W and is disp vertical. On the south side of the road is a dyke like '9' or a candet ore, probably the first since it resembles '1' which looks more like a dyke than candet ore. At the southern end of the ex- plosure is what I think is another dike. It looks like a candet ore but breaks as as the slates in- regularly like a dyke. This would make at least 8 dykes in this locality, all of the same kind. The strike and cleavage here seem to agree N65W. dip 80-70N. The dike once a cross the strike from the south endthen to the count northen exposure is 112 steps = 225 feet? The slate of the entire series is finely banding, greenish, or dark bluish green sometimes very albitly. People not resembling the red series however at all. 641 The ridge of 41 -- of 42. Runs N65W. This would make the ridge pass to the south of Racoon se- land. It is composed entirely of dykes veins. These were formed by or near the close.
