postire occurs in the interval No. 3, in wliicli the Heed coal bed belongs. 

 At the upper opening in No. 5, tlie bed is now exposed to a thickness of 

 2 feet 6 inches, but it is said to be 3 feet 6 inches. The coal is harder than 

 that of any bed fully seen on Laurel creek, but it is broken by many thin 

 partings or binders, mostly of mineral charcoal. Sulphur is present in the 

 top 10 inches, but below that the quantity is insignificant, and the coal is 

 an excellent fuel. The bed is four feet thick at the other opening, and the 

 bottom seems not to have been reached. A large bed, probably the 

 Nelson, is said to be exposed at some distance further down the creek, but 

 it was not examined. 



A section was worked out hastily on Camp creek, beginning at the crest 

 of Flat-top mountain. It is as follows : 



1. Concealed 60' 



2. Ferruginous sandstone 0' 10" 



3. Concealed 37' 



4. Yellow sandy shale 6' 



. 5. Coal bed Blossom. 



6. Clay 1' 



7. Yellow sandy shale 31' 



8. Furdue coal bed? 1' 6" 



9. Clay and variegated shale 15' 



10. Sandstone 30' 



11. Concealed 65' 



12. St. Clair coal bed seen 1' 6" 



13. Sandstone 90' 



14. Shale Avith Tabor coal bed 1' 



15. Sandstone or sandy shale 20' 



16. Concealed, said to contain a coal bed 30' 



17. Sandstone and some shale 40' 



18. Nelson coal bed, seen 3' 



19. Concealed 10' 



20. Sandstone 25' 



21. Shale and shaly sandstone 30' 



22. Carbonaceous shale 0' 3" 



23. Shale 16' 



24. Coal bed Blossom. 



25. Imperfect exposure 55' 



26. Sandstone 30' 



27. Shales and sandstone, imperfectly exposed 100' 



28. Sandstone 50' 



29. Sandstones and shales 400' 



Ending where the trail leading to Wolf creek crosses Camp creek, at a 

 mile and a half above its mouth. This gives very nearly 600 feet of coal- 

 bearing strata on Camp creek, the rocks below No. 26 being regarded as 

 belonging to the Lower Carboniferous. No calculation for the dip was
