Still higher stratigraphically, and about 320 feet
above the.King.seam, is the Quentin seam... It is.2.3 feet
thick where measured on King Creek, and 2.7 feet thick where
measured beside the mine road. It consists of bright and
dull coal, and, where sampled on the road, gave the following

Caking properties Non-agglomerating

Colour of ash Pinkish white

This sample was too weathered to permit a proper classification
as to rank.

Very high in the Gething formation is the Gully seam.
It is exposed in the bottom of King Creek about a mile below
the mine. Its total thickness including 0.1- and 0.05-foot
shale partings, and some clay ironstone concretions near the
base, is about 2.9 feet. aie

Other possibly good seams may occur in the upper part
of the formation above the Gully seam, but, if present, are
deeply buried beneath superficial deposits.

King Gething Mine

The Gething property igs on the east slope of Portage
Mountain, 12 miles by road west of Hudson Hope. The mine is
on King Creek at an elevation of 2,750 feet, and is 1,200 feet
above river level. At this point the stream flows in a deep
gully, into the east bank of which the entries have been
driven (Figure 2).

At the end of June 1943, widerground workings con-
sisted of two entries along the strike of the seam and con-~
nected by two raises at 70 and 110 feet, respectively, from
the portal. The lower, or main, entry was 200 feet long.
No. 1 raise, nearest the portal, extended 70 feet up the dip
and joined the upper entry. Wo. 2 raise had been driven 60
feet up the dip and a small room opened at the upper end.
No. 3 raise, 150 feet from the portal, had been driven up
about 30 feet.

The upper entry, 18 feet higher than the main entry,
was 120 feet long and did not connect with No. 3 raise.
