cleavage planes in every direction in mountain mass 800 to 2000 ft. high.  Ascend some of these and find nothing but syenite in every direction over laid conformably by thin beds of clay and sand with hydrated peroxide of iron in some places a very superficial & very recent formation containing decayed leaves of grass & other vegetation of recent origin.
These clay beds were insignificant in extent and limited to small depressions in the mountain tops.
Found the so called Amber Lake which was a small pond on top of a syenitic mountain about 2000 ft above the sea.  No signs
