Geological Survey Of Michigan Upper Peninsula 1893 1897 V6 Pt1 PDF Download

Excerpt from Geological Survey of Michigan, Vol. 5: Upper Peninsula, 1881-1844, Lower Peninsula, 1885-1893, Part I. Upper Peninsula; Iron and Copper Regions, Part II. Lower Peninsula; Deep Borings The last published report of the Michigan Geological Survey, in the series of which the following pages constitute Volume V, was written by Dr. Carl Rominger, at that time State Geologist, and was published in 1882. It described work done and observations made by Dr. Rominger in the iron region of the upper peninsula, west and south of Marquette. The first part of the present volume, also written by Dr. Rominger, beside covering work done in the iron region in 1881 and 1882, also includes observations made in the copper region in the following year or years. The manuscript of this report was in the possession of the Board of Geological Survey at the time when Dr. Rominger's successor, the late Charles E. Wright, was appointed State Geologist, in May, 1885. Accompanying this report is a small map of the western part of the upper peninsula, copied from a map published with Vol. I of the series. Although defective in several minor details, which could not well be corrected without making an entirely new map, from independent data, it will serve the purpose for which it is intended, to help the reader orient himself in connection with the descriptions in the text. The second part of the present volume is a paper by Dr. A. C. Lane, on deep borings in the lower peninsula, and is based on work done by the late Mr. Wright.
