Bituminous coal from Page No. 1 mine, Loup Creek Colliery Company, Page, Fayette

This sample consisted of run-of-mine coal and was shipped under the supervision of 
E. W. Parker, of the United States Geological Survey. The following tests were made: 
Coking test No. 20, steaming tests Nos. 178 and 181. and producer-gas test No. 54. It 
was also used mixed with West Virginia No. 13 in making coking test No. 23. 
Three mine samples were taken in this mine. No. 1869 was cut from the lower bench, 
Xo. 1870 from the middle bench, and Xo. 2178 was a sample of the entire seam.
