THE UPPER FREEPORT COAL. 



The Upper Freeport Coal, described briefly in Chapter 

 VIII, crops only in Collins Settlement District, Lewis, south 

 of the Coal and Coke Railway, where it is occasionally found 

 but does not appear in such good development as in some of 

 the northern counties. It has been prospected at only a few 

 points and these openings show that it is thin and patchy. In 

 the region where this coal lies under drainage, it is noted in 

 only a few oil and gas well records, warranting the statement 

 that it is not of minable value except along the southeastern 

 edge of Lewis. Its outcrop is shown on Map II and its prob- 

 able minable area on Figure 9.
