Well Drilled at Mile 188

A well drilled for water by the Public Roads Administration

for their construction camp at mile 188 to a depth of 410 feet en-
countered a small flow of gas at 190 feet. The gas burned with a flare
. about 4 feet long as it escaped from a l-inch pipe. It was under very
little pressure. The well was reported to have drilled dark grey shale
except for 50 feet of glacial drift'at the top.

On Sikanni Chief River the Bullhead group contains at
least 10 coal seams, none of which is over a foot thick, - The seams
are more common to the upper part of the group, which in this respect
is similar to the Gething formation of the Peace River area. The coal
is good grade bituminous, but the seams where observed are too thin to
be worth mining.

“-Atvthe base of the Bullhead group on Pink Mountain, im-
mediately north of Halfway River and close to the crest of the anticline,
is a seam of good grade coal over 5 feet thick. On the east side of the
mountain this seam has been burnt out. Along the west side, however,
pieces of float coal were observed for 35 miles north of Halfway River.
Any. prospecting for this seam should be done on Pink Mountain adjacent
to Halfway River.
