412 DRAKE — THE GEOLOGY OF INDIAN TERRITORY. [Sept. 3, 



the coal is a little more than a foot thick at the places where it was 

 seen. About three miles west or north of west from Sans Bois, on a 

 branch of Fish creek, in Mr. Scott's pasture, this coal is seventeen 

 inches thick ; dips 4° to 5° N. 10° W. 



Sec. 14. Across the Sans Bois anticline, four miles west of Sans Bois. 



The above cut shows the structure four miles west of Sans Bois. 

 About seven miles west of Sans Bois, in Beaver creek, the coal is 

 fifteen inches thick. About four and a half miles east-northeast 

 from Sans Bois and one-fourth of a mile east of Mr. Ben Noel's 

 place, this coal is eighteen to twenty inches thick ; four miles 

 north-northeast of Sans Bois, in the banks of Sans Bois creek, it is 

 eighteen to nineteen inches thick. About three miles north of Sans 

 Bois, along Cedar creek, the coal is eighteen to twenty inches 

 thick, and dips, 5° to 10°. Two miles west of Iron Bridge this 

 coal is twenty-six to twenty-seven inches thick and quite uniform 

 throughout. About four miles west-southwest from Cashier the 

 coal is eighteen inches thick. Two miles west of Stigler, in Cane 

 prairie, the coal is twenty- eight inches thick and of excellent 

 quality. On Rock branch, one mile west of Whitefield, the coal is 

 twenty-seven to twenty-eight inches thick. The Canadian river, 

 north and northeast of Whitefield, appears to run along an anti- 

 clinal fold. If this is the case, the east end of the coal outcrop, west 

 of Whitefield, follows down the east side of Canadian river valley 

 and joins the coal outcrop running northward from east of White- 

 field ; the westward extension of the coal outcrop, west of White- 

 field, ascends Canadian river valley probably nearly opposite 

 Brooken before crossing that river and running back east and north- 

 east by Starvilla, as seems to be the case. 



Mayberry Coal Bed. — This coal was not located in the Sugar 

 Loaf or Poteau mountains, but it is doubtless represented there. 

 The coal in the east end of San Bois mountains, at some three hun-
