  Although 
  this 
  holing 
  commences 
  above 
  the 
  horizon 
  of 
  No. 
  5 
  coal, 
  

   it 
  was 
  found 
  to 
  he 
  too 
  thin 
  at 
  this 
  point 
  to 
  he 
  of 
  any 
  practical 
  

   value, 
  while 
  the 
  two 
  lower 
  seams 
  penetrated 
  in 
  the 
  bore 
  were 
  also 
  

   valueless. 
  This 
  barren 
  area 
  is 
  not 
  very 
  extensive, 
  as 
  No.

  out- 
  

   crops 
  on 
  Silver 
  creek, 
  about 
  four 
  miles 
  a 
  little 
  east 
  of 
  north 
  from 
  

   Lementon, 
  with 
  its 
  normal 
  thickness 
  of 
  live 
  to 
  six 
  feet. 
  Probably 
  

   a 
  boring 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  miles 
  east 
  of 
  this 
  point 
  would 
  result 
  in
