 vein — north, south, east, and west — particularly north and south, as the veins dip 

 west and north. The results may be considered as fair representatives of the whole 

 vein, and also as embracing the principal veins at present worked in the State of 

 Kansas. These results are presented in the following table. For comparison sake 

 there is included also tests of the best Indiana block coal (Clay county).
