564 COAL. 



The coal is mined for local fuel at a farm opening near 

 by which shows the following section : 



Clyde Reger Farm Mine No. 220 on Map II. 



On Cap Run, 1 mile northeast of Emmart; Elk Lick Coal; butts, 

 N. 87 W.; elevation, 1210' B.

4. Slate, black 1 



5. Coal, good (to slate pave- 



ment) 2 8 5 3 



A sample was collected from Nos. 3 and 5 of section, the 

 composition of which is given under Mine No. 220 in the table 

 of coal analyses at the end of this Chapter. The coal shows 

 a large percentage of ash. 



South of the Coal and Coke Railway, the Elk Lick Coal, 

 so far as observed, has not been mined and is probably of 

 little value. 



Quantity of Elk Lick Coal Available. 



The accompanying table, showing that only a small num- 

 ber of the many oil and gas wells drilled in the two counties 

 show the Elk Lick Coal, indicates that it will not prove to be 

 of minable value in any of those regions where its horizon lies 

 below drainage, and the previous discussion shows that it is 

 of value at its outcrop only in portions of Skin Creek and Col- 

 lins Settlement Districts, Lewis. Another table that follows 

 shows the probable amount of Elk Lick Coal for these areas :
