After the workmen got down 5UO feet they commenced to find evidences of a formation not closely associated with this age. First of all, they struck a log of some kind of unknown wood. In some respects it resembled nsh, though it was almost the color of tho California redwood. Going down some distance below the point where this log was struck, the drill penetrated a log that was as hard as ebony, and in color was as white as poplar. At SnO feet the drill went thioujrh a bed of pure white crystal. Th's bed was twenty feet in thickness, und as soon as the drill passed through P, a cave was strucK, and there was a drop of ten feet. Again the crystal formation was encountered, and for a distance of twenty feet tho workmen drilled through rock that was almost as trans parent as glass. Beneath the forma tion there is a brown sandstone, in which the men are drilling at this time. This sandstone is much hardc than the sandstone that is found in the Black Hills, and is of unusual rich color. Bee. INFORMATION AND OI'INION.
