He had a few days before called together representative men from all parts of the State to discuss a program of action against the enemy, and Ridgway gave a dinner for them at the Quartzite, the evening of Eaton's defection. He was at the critical moment when any obvious irresolution would have been fatal. His allies were ready to concede his defeat if he would let them.
Owing to the strong weathering action this thickness of quartzite is doubtless much less than it was originally. Forty-six miles above Seal Lake an exposure of phyllite was seen, the same in every respect as the one east of Seal Lake, just mentioned. The general direction of foliation is S. 70 degrees E. and the dip 70 degrees.
And the nice warm sun is shining on me it must be rather chilly in the woods to-day. And there is a breeze blowing from the Big Horn old rocks are always damp and stuffy in the shade. And I am looking away out over the Hills I hope some people enjoy the sight of piles of quartzite." "Cruel sun fairy!" cried Bennington. "Why do you tantalize me so with the delights from which you debar me?
The Sierra Larga, a low range five miles west of Maldonado, consists of quartzite, often ferruginous, having an arenaceous feel, and divided into excessively thin, almost vertical laminae or folia by microscopically minute scales, apparently of mica, and striking in the usual N.N.E. and S.S.W. direction.
The next day Breaden and I rode up to Mount Elphinstone, which we found to be formed of three great rocky shoulders of sandstone capped with quartzite, almost bare, and stony on the top, with sheer faces one hundred feet high on the West side and a gradual slope to the East, where high sand-ridges run right up to the foot.
The rock of which the cliff was formed was, for some considerable distance in the direction followed by Dick, quartzite; but at a point about a mile from the spot where he had parted from Earle it changed to a black, bituminous limestone, studded here and there with ammonites.
Other conical hills or short ranges, with irregular rugged crests, were composed of granite of many varieties, red and white, fine grained without hornblende, or containing the latter substance, and changing into sienite; and, at one place, it seemed as if it had broken through Psammite. I observed quartzite in several localities, and a hard pudding-stone extending for a considerable distance.
The following may be enumerated as the principal members of the metamorphic class: gneiss, mica-schist, hornblende-schist, clay-slate, chlorite-schist, hypogene or metamorphic limestone, and certain kinds of quartz-rock or quartzite.
