Abstract

Having heard that a shaft was being sunk by Mr. Newman on
the property of Mr. Degraves, at the Cascades, with the view
of finding coal, I seized the first opportunity of visiting the
spot, in the hope that the debris of the shaft would be a safe
clue to the actual age of the sandstone of that locality,—and
which I believe to be a continuation of the sandstone of this
city.
