_ “The thickness at this locality varies from 3 feet 7 inches to 4 feet
2 inches, but there is an almost continuous line of large concretions near
the base at the falls. However, downstream these concretions become small
or entirely disappear, for, in the cliffs below, the coal looks clean. The top
is a canneloid coal with characteristic fracture and has a banding expressed
by layers of finer and coarser granular texture. Analyses are as follows:

The rank is [low volatile] bituminous on both benches.

Seams on Johnson Creek

“A seam on Johnson creek a little above where the first exposures
begin is 2 feet 10 inches to 3 feet in thickness and includes a 2-inch parting
of shale. The bottom 5 inches is of jet coal. The hanging-wall consists of
6 inches of shale followed by arenaceous shale above. The foot-wall is
arenaceous shale. A sample gives the following analysis:

: Ash Volatile Fixed Caking Colour
Moisture matter carbon property ash

agglomerate brown

The rank is {low volatile] bituminous.

“Higher in the Johnson Creek section is a seam containing 4 feet
linch of coal. There is friable shale on the hanging-wall and 1 foot of
carbonaceous shale on the foot-wall. A sample taken gives the following

analysis:
