age e worked on a scale along the northern portion of the mt baldy range the quartzite bedding capped with limestone was wa s profoundly fissured folded and faulted so great was the last named oc currance that the quartzite and limestone ent entirely rely disappeared under the more fe recent eruptive rock masses to the east of the sevier fault see accompanying ac compa nying maps and left the quartzite and thries limestone tone in the lof lofty ty precipice known ekno as the tie deer trail escarpment southwest of marysvale Marys vale from those yawning tl fissures enormous masses of rhyolite and birdseye birds eye porphyry oozed up from the e earths artlis melted interior aud and formed mountain masses thousands of feet feed deep again the unstable crust quivered with intense seismic forces the old and but partially healed wounds were opened and new fissures formed in the overlying eruptive mass and great dykes of highly mineralized porphyry now marathe mark the location and direction of those ancient rents the brief period of comparative quiet which succeeded the previous disturbances was continued on page 7 broken by another uplift of the range and along ca the central portion extending 0 from gold mountain south 11 a distance of some ten miles a great fissure was formed from froal the surface down to tho the region of liquid fire the mighty force which
