Dear sir, Re. c3mumln Coal Field

I nm maillnp you to-day a couple oP blue prints of D plen

09 the Quinsam Coal Field South of the 50th Parallel of Latltnde.

wiiiah 5s the northern boundary of our aoal area.

There nrn two important outcrop8 of coel in this field,

whhloh are dREl@afed on the plan as A and B. I enalose aoples

of the or068 sect-ion of these exposures t&Bon by myself lest

year.

I ~180 enclose heredth aop4 es of analyses of samples of

coal from the reapeatjve outcrops, whlah were made by the Cov-

ernmen t Assayer.

I 7cy r;tp,tn that I cons7der fhls n valuefile aoal-field,

although not large 5n extent. The formation j R nearly all

sandstone with a aomparatlvely light cover, probably running

Prom 200 feet to 400 feet of saMetone over the aoal horizon.

The area is very slfghtly d!ntnrbeU, the preveiling dip :

being about ten levees to Magnetlo North.

Prom the limited nature of the outarops I aoala not very

8atlsfaotorily determines , whether the two nosl ootfmqm represent

eaparnts aears or not.

The Iron Ttlver outcrop fB) ie ulo~tf to The base 02 the 00~1

meamre8, boinw only about thivtp feet fron the unfierly¶ng oldsr

rooks.

“ha nutorop on mlnanr! !ilvar (A) my posnSblF represent an
