(2). The SCOTT has been driven on for a length of 77 ft., in
all and shows from 5 ft. 4 in. to 6 ft. 8 in. of clean coal. It has
only one seam of shale which occurs near the middle and is usually
about 4 inches wide.

(3). The GARNEAU carries from 2 ft. 6 in. to 3 ft. of clean
coal and has no shale in it.

(4). The ROSS which was the last seam discovered on Beirnes
Creek and was very difficult to open up on account of the swampy
ground, contains about 9 ft. 6 in. of clean coal divided as follows,
beginning at the top:— _

The top 214 ft. is considerably decomposed and it is difficult
to estimate it accurately as yet. I do not think it will be found
to contain more than 6 inches of shale where it becomes solid.

(5). The PELLETIER has been sunk for a depth of 45 ft.
and contains 5 ft. 2 in. of clean coal with which is associated a little
shale. J am convinced from the appearance of the open cut that
there is more coal immediately above it, but there was no time to
examine further.

On Anthracite Creek we have three seams overlying this sand-
stone.

(1). The lowest, we have proved to contain from the top down
—coal 2 ft. 3 inches, shale 15 inches, coal 18 inches, shale 18 inches,
coal 1 ft., in all 4 ft. 9 inches clean coal. This is about 300 ft.
vertically above the sandstone.

Beyond this is an area on the upper part of the stream whieh
is unproved, but which on adjoining properties contains several
seams.
