southeast of Moosebar Creek is difficult to estimate, and not sufficient
work has been done on Johnson Creek to locate this seam there. In the

east, a seam exposed on the south bank above Contact point i
Ser a ae ct point is correlated

On main Gething Creek the seam correlated with the Titan is 5 feet
thick, but includes a layer of thick concretions, over 1 foot thick, near the
base. To the southeast 2-1 miles, at the type exposure on Aylard Creek
the section is as follows: ?

One foot below is a 2-inch band of jet coal.

““As regards thickness, this seam is best on Aylard Creek, not so good
on Gething Creek and at Contact point, and poorest on Moosebar Creek . . .
In future exploration its extension northwest and southeast from Aylard
Creek should, in particular, be examined; the localities favourable for expo-
sures are indicated above. Unfortunately neither the rank nor grade of the
coal in this seam is known; the only sample taken was lost in transit.

Falls Seam

“The Falls seam is about 250 feet below the Moosebar contact and 40
feet below the Titan seam. The type exposure is on Aylard Creek at the
small third falls. From there the outcrop runs northwestward to the
canyon and to the cliffs above Earle narrows; about one-third to one-half
mile above Earle narrows on the south bank, a seam exposed in the cliff
comes nearly to river level and may be the Falls seam. Westward the
exposure of this seam rises in the cliff, and in the high cliff opposite Fossil-
tree point should be at about the middle of the section there revealed.
This seam, also, should be sought in the cliffs up Island Creek. Westward,
the outcrop is estimated to run back from the river and to the third falls
