Surface equipment of the Inspiration Consolidated Copper Co: on the left is the International smelter. The even slope of the Gila conglomerate is well shown in the background, and in the distance appears the Pinaleno Range, west of Solomsville. A small part of the Pinal Range is seen on the right.

Mouth of gorge below Hackberry Spring, looking southwest; the camera was place on the bluff shown in photo 797. The gorge is cut in steeply upturned Paleozoic beds and diabase; the entrance is in Tornado limestone. At the right, just across the gravelly streambed and probably faulted down against the limestone, is some of the silty material described. It is this silt that appears to have been regarded as possibly oil bearing. Pinal County, Arizona. 1910. Plate 26-B in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 115. 1919.

Cambrian beds, northwest from stage road 2 miles south of Pioneer Mountain, Ray quadrangle, the bold hill on the left is composed, in ascending order, of diabase, Troy quartzite, Martin limestone and Tornado limestone. The broad saddle to the right of this hill is occupied by a great diabase sill, which passes beneath the Troy quartzite to the left and laps up onto a dip slope of the Dripping Spring quartzite just to the right. The diabase has disrupted the Mescal limestone, which belongs between the two quartzites and remnants of the limestone strata included in the diabase can be recognized as rather extensive white patches that in the field contrast sharply with the dark olive tint of the diabase surface.
