Work on Anthracite Creek was carried out more to fulfill the
requirements of the Coal Act. However, the results were very
satisfactory. ‘The lowest seam (a) carries 214 feet coal; shale 15
inches; coal 18 inches; shale 18 inches; coal 1 foot; in all 4 feet 9
inehes clean coal. The next (b) seam found at some distance gave
3 feet of clean coal.

Above these is another (ec) 584 feet of clean coal with small
shale parting giving over 86% fixed earbon.

The analyses of these seams were :—

Fixed Volatile Sulphur Ash
Carbon Matter
(a) Te (67o, We bie) = 016%. 14.507
(b) 73.36 6.78 Qs 19°74
(c) 86.74 6.98 0.13 1155

TONNAGE OF COAIL.

Last year, to be conservative, the writer calculated a foot-acre
of coal at 1,000 tons.Most engineers are calculating a foot-acre at
1,500 tons. Im order to make your property stand on the same
footing as other properties, the calculations will be based on the
larger amount.
