four miles to the Cliff Mine. Crossing track of fine
white sand near he lake shore, and following muddy
road for three miles up conglomerate and trap hills
six hundred and fifty feet high we at last caught sight
OF the mine, and rapidly descending along the elf
sides reacl ed the valley below at IL A. NJ.
