Tho dlstriot Is Bltuntod In tho Antolopo raugo of inountlaus, Iron County, Utuh, Chlorldo Cauyon being in the Pluto Iron Miuiug Dlstriot. The Geology whllo being somewhat difficult todeoiphor, is not ubpooinlly complex uuIohs uu attempt ho made to olasHlfy nud noouratoly looalo tho various intrusive rooke, or poruuyrlos. For tho eako of simplicity 1 shall use this common tofm of "porphyrr" to doslgnate all the rocks which havo resulted from tho consolidation of n molten mass or inngma. This class of rook Is oomtnon Iu Chloride Canyon, nud Is n great factor lu the mineralization of tho district. Observations fron over tbo wholo world, Including Africa, North nnd South America, Australia, nnd Europo dhow u close relation between thoso porphyries nud oro deposits.

Tho rooks we aro now about to' consider nro whut nro known in nodfibitBry rooke. They nte so named boolpe tho flrnt step in tholr formation A as mud In tbo bottom of Inkeo, .hn nnd ocoatiB. It seems n Jong etrotaof tho imagination to follow tho hlffiiry of n rook from the top ot the AqjLlopn rHngc, to the bottom of an unkJjwu ooaan. Thoro uro, however, iafh grant strata of sedlmentarioa ntiho baud of the Onnyon wUjifb jjljfouie very remote period did undoubtedly lay under a large body of wntor and bad their origin Iu mud, pobbles, and the shells of marine animals. Ot theHo two rooks we shall Orst oouslder whht is known as "con-glomorate,' "con-glomorate,' or pudding stono. ThU lattor namo is dorlved from the fact that tbo rook often resembles a pudding. This olfoot is produced from the fnot that, tho rook la composed com-posed of pobblcB firmly cemented togotbor by mud, tho wholo mass hnvlng boon consul Idated and, bnrdoned by subsequent preestiro and' heat. Tho othor Bodlmontry, vizV tho limostono, as was stated nbovo is built ot tho shells of marine nnlmale.
