These coal samples are of medium volatile bituminous rank.!

1 Caking property and rank, originally recorded in McLearn (1923), are revised in accordance with modern usage and the A.S.T.M. (American Society of Testing Materials) designation, and checked by E. Swartzman, Fuel Testing Division, Bureau of Mines.

? Agglomerate is synonymous with very weakly caking. Non-agglomerate is equivalent to non- caking. Caking or agglomerating properties are judged from the residue after conducting a standard volatile matter test in a platinum crucible. A good caking coal, as evaluated by this test, does not necessarily indicate a coal that will make a good coke for industrial use. Coking properties are best evaluated by large scale tests (personal communication, E. Swartzman, Bureau of Mines).

Titan Seam

“The Titan seam, in the western part of the area, is from 200 to 255 feet below the Moosebar contact and, in the east, at Contact point, is about 160 feet below. The type locality is on Aylard Creek, where the seam is exposed in the creek just above the small third falls. Northwestward the outcrop is estimated to run towards the river and to be in the cliff on the south bank above Earle narrows, where it should be looked for. About one-quarter mile above Earle narrows and high in the cliff on the south bank is a seam locally known as the ‘ladder seam’; this may be the Titan. In the high cliff opposite Fossil-tree point this seam should be near the middle of the section there exposed. It should also be sought in the cliffs on Island Creek. From there the outcrop is estimated roughly to run south from the main canyon towards the lower forks of Gething Creek, for on

main Gething Creek above the third falls there is a thick seam exposed which is correlated with the Titan.

“‘Southeasterly from the type exposure on Aylard Creek it is estimated that the outcrop runs a little back from the river. In the vicinity of upper Mogul Creek, exposures should be sought in the higher, but not the highest, cliffs. On Moosebar Creek a seam exposed some distance above the Big or third falls is correlated with the Titan. The exact course of the outcrop
