992 square miles averages 9K feet coal=^6,250 mill. 



Areas beneath sea and minor areas with thin seams should raise the total to 10,000 

 mill. 



Note — A subsequent revision based on explorations of 1911 has added to totals 

 especially for British Columbia. The above estimate is for easily mined coal and not 

 for total amount of coal in deep measures or for thin seams.
