noted that the canneloid coal has lost a little more volatile matter than the
jet coal. The coal of the uppermost and bottom benches is poor caking.
The grade depreciates upward, the percentage of ash increasing progres-
sively from the bottom to the top bench.

. “Although this seam is depreciated by the presence of large concretions
in the exposures on Moosebar Creek and above Earle narrows, and is in
these localities below the set standard, it is described on account of its
thickness on Aylard Creek, its quality on Gething Creek, its nearness to
the Titan seam, and the possibility that it may be of workable thickness
and grade in exposures not yet explored. It should be looked for in all the
localities suggested above from Moosebar to Gething creeks.

Little Mogul Seam

“The Little Mogul is a small seam, of only local importance, but is
described on account of its proximity to the Mogul seam. It lies about
460 feet below the Moosebar contact and 10 feet above the Mogul seam.
The type exposure is on Aylard creek a little above its mouth. From
there the outcrop rises eastwardly and the seam is exposed in a draw west
of Mogul creek, just above the trail on the west side. It is also exposed
on Mogul creek above the trail. Its extension to Moosebar creek is proble-
matical, although a seam there has been tentatively correlated with it.
Northwestward from the type exposure on Aylard creek, a small seam on
the south bank at Earle narrows is without doubt the Little Mogul.

“On Aylard creek this seam is 3 feet thick, but includes a 3-inch
coneretion. About 0-28 mile to the northwest, at Earle narrows, this
seam is only 8 inches thick... It holds its thickness better to the south-
east; 0-35 mile in that direction, in a draw west of Mogul creek, it contains
3 feet 3 inches of coal. On Mogul creek, 0-06 mile to the southeast, it
contains 2 feet 8 inches of coal. The seam tentatively correlated with it
on Moosebar creek is 11 inches thick. . . For a distance of about 0-4 mile,
between Aylard and Mogul creeks, this seam appears to maintain a thick-
ness of from 2 feet 8 inches to 3 feet 3 inches, and may maintain this thick-
ness over a large area, but is known to depreciate toward Earle narrows,
in which direction not much can be expected of it... .

“A sample was taken from the exposure on Mogul creek.

The rank is [medium volatile] bituminous and the grade is low, for 10-5
per cent ash is high for this area.
Mogul Seam

“The Mogul seam lies about 475 feet below the Moosebar contact,
and is separated from the overlying Little Mogul by about 10 feet of
strata. ‘The type exposure is on the south bank near river level at Earle
narrows. From there the outcrop runs a little back from the shore to
Aylard creek where there is an exposure in the bank on the east side a
little above the mouth of the creek. Continuing, the outcrop rises somewhat
