Mar 12, 2013 (A Wilson) - On Juniper and Leek islands the granite rises only 20 feet above the water and a limited amount of material is available. "On this island the rock rises about 20 feet above the water and an excavation of 300 feet by 200 feet has been opened to a maximum depth of 10 feet. The rift is horizontal and the grain vertical in an east and west direction. The jointing is similar to that seen on Grindstone Island; the upper sheet is fully 8 feet thick. Despite the considerable amount of checking, some dimension stone has been obtained."
