u.l. printed: FRED \ HARVEY "PHOSTINT" \ TRADE MARK REG U. S. PAT OFF. \ MADE ONLY BY DETROIT PUBLISHING CO.
u.l. to c.l. printed: The Canyon is formed of seven systems of rocks \ from river to rim, called by Major Powell as fol- \ lows: Black gneiss, variegated quartzite, cliff \ sandstone, alcove sandstone, redwall limestone, \ banded sandstone and Aubrey limestone. \ He then adds: "A wall of homogeneous granite, \ like that in the Yosemite, is but a naked wall \ whether 1000 or 5000 feet high; a mountain covered \ by pure snow 10,000 feet high has but little more \ effect on the imagination than a mountain of snow \ 1000 feet high -- it is but more of the same thing, \ but a facade of seven systems of rock had its \ sublimity multiplied sevenfold."
