Channel samples 112 and 113, collected by the writer across these two
seams, were analysed by the Fuel Testing Laboratories at Ottawa and
gave the following results:

About 60 feet above the drift level the raise follows the main seam,
but does not break through to the smaller, parallel seam. The main seam
is 40 inches wide there and consists of highly pulverized, soft, sheared coal
with glistening, slickensided, intersection surfaces throughout its mass.
This coal crumbles and soils the fingers readily on handling. It is probable
that this part of the seam has been thickened through flowage under
pressure. A channel sample (No. 111) taken by the writer across this part
of the seam and analysed by the Fuel Testing Division at Ottawa gave:

From the end of the east drift, a crosscut extends 110 feet south and
intersects six other coal seams at distances of 45, 56, 63, 68, 80, and 105
feet, respectively, south of the drift (See Figure 11). These coal seams
are all less than a foot thick. The beds strike southeast and dip 60
degrees northeast. There has been a little movement along each seam,
judging by the somewhat sheared nature of the coal. Three other very
similar coal seams, each about 6 inches wide, are intersected at 5-foot
intervals in a 20-foot crosscut to the north from the end of the east drift.
In the main crosscut 10 feet north of the drift there is a 12-inch coal
seam of the soft, crushed type, criss-crossed by innumerable, shiny, slicken-
sided surfaces. A parallel, 9-inch seam of comparatively firm, clean coal
lies 20 inches farther north. Three other coal seams are intersected by
the main crosscut at distances of 45 feet, 105 feet, and 175 feet, respec-
tively, south from the portal. These seams are less than 6 inches wide,
and there has been some crushing along each one. The seam at 175
feet from the portal appears to be the downward continuation of the seam
explored in the No. 3 or upper adit (See Figure 11).

No. 2 adit is 75 feet northeast of the portal of the main adit and 40
feet higher. It is driven 33 feet along two coal seams, each of which is’
from 6 to 7 inches in width and is separated from the other by 1 foot of
carbonaceous shale. The coal is clean and black and is very little disturbed.
