GEOLOGICAL CHARACTER OF MOUNTAIN.
One Of the most important questions which arose
when the tunnel projected, some years ago,
eerned the geological character OF the mountain Pres
dent Edward Hitchcock OF Amherst College Mass, VINO
had been studying the HOosac formation for q years,
brought before the Legislative Com mitee aud
gave his opinion. lie had examined the mountain with
special reference 10 tnunel and made report to the
Government. The north part OF the structure he de-
scrioed as exceedingly simple, consisting almost en-
layers, which be split mp very ue the east side
little Oblquely across the route OF the tunnel On the
side of the mountain The same rock projects all
along Occasionally little enelssoid rock was me, met
spar Prof Hitchcock gave 1t as his opinion that
there scarcely anything In the mountain but

Thought, would ntrude in the form OF veins dykes
whole OF the Hoosac ana Green Mountain range. Iron
ore frequently found in connection with quartz
rock and limestone. The Professor had doubt that
the whole mountain composed throughout Of this
mica slate, and that probably the same rock extended
His for this opinion derived from the gem
era formation OF the Green Mountain range. 10 was
ton through the whole of the Green Mountain range
1t not lifted by granite any of the gneous
rocks pushing upward from beneath but crowded to-
gether from the sides or edges, to cause folding
together of the strata. the entire range pitching
downward toward tie sea. In deep cuts on the
Rutland aud the Vermont Central roads he had
observed the formation tho whole length OF the
mountain, and on level as low down az the tunnel.
There was reason, he Thought why the forna-
ton should not extend to Massachusetts, He was sure
that there was no trap rock He had vein
OF 1t in the whole mountain and he did not believe that
any cavities would be found II they would be
erns and not filled with earth like the soil gravel OF
the surface, Prof Hitchcock was confident in his
opinion OF the interior rock that it rock requiring
te or no masOnly archng, that he declared himself
willing for few thousand dollars to put in all the
sorry that would be needed after they got beyond the
surface II was also presumed that the rock would not
be dhcult for drilling that IL woud he softer inside
than at the surface, aud that the tunnel after pene
tratng considerable distance from the surface, would
he dry.
