In June, 1911, a large party was sent in by the syndicate un-
der the direction of Mr. R. C. Campbell-Johnston, having as assist-
ant Mr. G. F. Monckton, F.G/S., a capable geologist and mining
engineer, returning in November. During the course of the work,
but a considerable time before work was stopped, an examination
was made by Mr. James McEvoy, B.A.Sc., late geologist and mining
engineer to the Crow’s Nest Pass Coal Company, formerly Domin-
ion Government Geologist; and thus, separate reports were written
by these three experts. It will be noted that Messrs. Campbell:
Johnston and Monckton were at the coal field during the entire —
progress of the work, while Mr. McEvoy made his last visit there a
considerable time before the work was given up for the season.
Therefore, most of the work done up to Mr. McEvoy’s last visit con-
sisted in prospecting for and uncovering the seams so discovered,
while the work done from that last visit to the end of the season
consisted in driving deeper on the scams and go, in some instances,
reaching deeper and farther away from the zone of influence of
surface moisture.

These three experts are unanimous as to the field containing
enormous tonnage of high grade fuel in the form of many thick,
commercial anthracite seams of hard smokeless coal, Mr. ‘Campbell,
Johnston estimates the quantity at 1,141,440,000 tons, Mr.
Monekton puts it at 1,133,400,000, and Mr. MeEvoy ig of opinion
that the portion of property examined by him (much less than half)
contains the enormous quantity of 288 million tons. The second
season’s work has, briefly, opened up the following seams:

In the Upper Coal Measures, three seams with a total thickness
of 131% feet.
