No. 6. Till 7 101 



5. Thin, irregular bedded, drab or bluish sand- 

 stone and bluish argillaceous shales. In 

 places at the bottom is a 3-inch clay shale 

 resting on the massive conglomerate with 

 a sandstone to conglomeral e layer above. 

 Lower part of the Logan sandstone 22 94 



4. A coarse conglomerate stratuin at the top 

 of the conglomerate which in places is 11 

 inches thick. The top of the Black Hand 

 conglomerate 1 72 



3. Gray to drab coarse grit , which in places is 

 a conglomerate that is worked for glass 

 sand. This forms the upper part of the 

 main cliff 21 71 



2. Coarse grit and conglomerate to the base 



of the cUff at the Crusher 16 50 



1. Mostly covered bank below the Crusher but 

 all in the conglomerate as shown by 

 exposure a little farther down the river

The very coarse horizon, Conglomerate IP, No. 4 in the above 

 section, and the erosion-remnants of the superjacent Logan 

 sandstone (Fig. 1.) are stripped, and dumped into an abandoned 

 water-course a few rods east of the quarry. The first mill for 

 preparing the sand was built at the west end of the quarries; 

 the new mill, which more than doubles the capacity of the plant, 

 stands nearer the place where quarrying is now being done. 



The stone is conveyed to the older mill by a cable (Fig. 2.) 

 which lifts the skips from the trucks that have been pushed along 

 temporary tracks to a point directly beneath the cable. Tracks 

 lead to the new mill, and by raising the trucks a few feet, the 

 stone is fed into the breaker directly from the skips. After 

 leaving the breaker the stone passes through a Williams pul- 

 verizer, is screened, then fed into a Philip-McLearen wet pan 

 where it passes between heavy "chasers, " and is next washed by 

 being augered through a trough against flowing water which 

 floats off some of the aluminates. They do not dry the sand, 

 but car it directly from the washer, or pile it for later shipment. 

 The present daily output is about 300 tons.
