should be examined and, if the contact with the Moosebar shale can be
located, this seam may be just below it. In the eastern part of the area, it
should be prospected for on the north shore northeast of Contact point.

Trojan Seam

“Tn the central and western part of the area the Trojan is from 115 to
130 feet below the Moosebar contact and in the east, at Contact point, is
93 feet below. It is exposed on the north branch of Gething creek, some
distance above the forks; a short tunnel or drift, about 35 feet long, has
been driven along the coal in the cliff on the north bank. On main Gething
creek it is exposed above the forks between the third and upper falls. The
outcrop runs to the northeast and exposures should be sought in the higher
cliffs of Island creek and near the top of the high cliff opposite Fossil-tree
point. On Aylard creck! this seam is exposed between the small third
falls and the upper falls. From Aylard ereek the outcrop is estimated to
have a southeasterly course to Moosebar creek, where there is an exposure a
short distance below the upper falls. No intervening exposures are at
present known, but the highest cliffs about Mogul creek should be examined,
and particular attention be given to any exposures a little over 100 feet
below the Moosebar contact, if the latter can be located. The exact course
of the outcrop to Johnson and Coal creeks is difficult to estimate, but the
Trojan seam is exposed on the east bank of Coal creek some distance above
its junction with Johnson creek; a tunnel about 35 feet long has been driven
to the coal, and a drift about 65 feet long has been driven on the coal. In
the east this seam is exposed at Contact point on the south bank of the river.

“Tn the tunnel on the north branch of Gething creek this seam has the
following section, including 5 feet 6 inches of coal and two partings aggre-
gating 6 inches:
