age worked on a jimno me cilc portion of the mt mb 33 aldy range tho the quartzite bedding din rm capped with limestone was as profoundly fissured folded band faulted so great was the last named currance occurrence oc that the and limestone entirely disappeared is appeared under the more recent eruptive rock massetto masses mas sesto to the cast of the sevier fault see accompanying compa nying map 1 and an d left the quartzite and limestone tim estone in tle the form t orm of a lofty of ty precipice known as the deer trail escarpment to the southwest of marysvale Marys vale prom from those yawning fissures enormous masses ot of rhyolite and birdseye birds eye porphyry oozed up lip from the earths melted interior and formed mountain masses thousands of feet deep A again ain the unstable crust quivered wibb forces the old and but partially healed wounds were ivere opened and now new fissures formed in the overlying eruptive mass and great dykes of highly cr mineralized porphyry now mark the location and direction of those ancient rents the brief period of campara tive live quiet which succeeded the previous disturbances was broken brohan by another uplift op 0 J the range rainge and along the tha central portion ex extending tiding t from gold mountain lemountain south a distance of some ten miles a greaff fissure was formed from the surface down to the region of liquid fire the mighty force which split the hor northern thern po portion atlon of the mt baldy range also formed lateral fissures extending r ea easterly and westerly esterly V f from rom th the 0 za greaff rent central rent those fissures became lines of easement casement for the vast mass of magma magana seeking egress and from molten depths the hot gaseous mud flowed upward and formed great dykes of phonolite pho nolito which today cheerily clin clinks lis under the feet of an occasional prospector while the eruption of the phonolite marks the last ous throes of nature in the mt mi baldy region subsequent local fissuring of the phonolite occurred and in connection with other fissures already formed became channels for the upward and catteral lat teral how flow of gold and sil ver bearing rd solutions E extinct extinct craters fields of dark colored tra chite I 1 ridges of volcanic breccia dykes and chimneys of obsidian in n the phonolite prove that local volcanic forces were continued over a long period after af ter the widespread wide spread aprea eruptive activity had ceased THIS PRESENT AND FUTURE geological conditions in evidence i alon along ra the northern portion
