  6' 
  Very 
  fine, 
  hard, 
  dark-gray 
  limestone, 
  with 
  faint, 
  even 
  

   lines 
  of 
  bedding, 
  which 
  become 
  very 
  distinct 
  after 
  exposure, 
  

   giving 
  the 
  rock 
  a 
  finely 
  laminated 
  appearance. 
  The 
  bed 
  is 
  

   folded 
  slightly, 
  like 
  the 
  one 
  above.

  2' 
  Yellowish 
  gray 
  limestone, 
  irregularly 
  bedded, 
  the 
  layers 
  

   much 
  flexed 
  and 
  distorted. 
  White 
  crystalline 
  gypsum 
  occurs 
  

   in 
  many 
  small, 
  thin 
  veins.

  4' 
  Pinkish-gray 
  limestone, 
  fine 
  and 
  hard, 
  in 
  uneven 
  layers 
  

   4" 
  to

  thick. 
  

  

  Gypsum

  and 
  veins. 
  

  

  1343' 
  

  

  

  11' 
  Brownish-gray, 
  hard 
  limestone, 
  in 
  layers 
  3" 
  to 
  12" 
  thick, 
  

   which 
  are 
  in 
  a 
  broken, 
  disturbed 
  condition, 
  the 
  walls 
  of 
  the 
  

   shaft 
  showing 
  veins 
  and 
  cracks 
  in 
  every 
  direction 
  . 
  

  

  At 
  1348 
  the 
  first 
  salt 
  found 
  was 
  observed 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  thin 
  

   veins, 
  in 
  some 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  vein 
  matter 
  was 
  all 
  salt, 
  in 
  others 
  

   the 
  wall 
  matter 
  was 
  crystalline 
  gypsum 
  with 
  a 
  thin 
  layer 
  of 
  

   salt 
  intercalated. 
  Many 
  other 
  veins 
  occurred 
  where 
  only 
  

   gypsum 
  was 
  found. 
  

  

  The 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  salt 
  was 
  pinkish 
  or 
  cream 
  colored 
  ; 
  the 
  

   gypsum 
  was 
  white 
  to 
  pink 
  .
