occurs in three scams 34 to 8 feet thick. The coal formation
is in the form of a basin not greatly deformed, with an area
of 2 to 3 square miles, and occurs at an elevation of 4,200
to 5,000 feet.
A small area of a little over $ square mile occurs
lower on Gold creek.

(3) Clark Fork. <A large area of coal formation extends down
the Clark fork (or North fork) of Morice river from the main
forks for at least 8 miles and probably to Morice river.

The coal basin is 3 of a mile wide at the upper end and
tends to widen out downward. One coal seam of 12 feet of
good bituminous coal is kmown. The strata have a low,
uniform dip.

Chisholm Creek. On Morice river, Chisholm creek, and
Chisholm lake, there is a coal area of probably over 40
square miles, which has been little prospected. One seam
35 feet thick, including clean, shaly. and hard, blocky

coal and a thin shale parting, is separated from another

less than 1 foot thick by 2 feet of shale.
