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 conglomerate layer above.

Gray to drab coarse grit, which in places is 
a conglomerate that is worked for glass

The very coarse horizon, Conglomerate II 4 , 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.
