Two  analyses  of  coal  from  bed  No.  2  of  this  district,  as  made  at  tho 
fuel-testing  plant,  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  are  given  on  page  363,  Nos.  2121  and 
2122.  The  samples  were  collected  by  F.  C.  Schrader0  in  the  usual 
manner,  by  making  a  cut  across  the  face  of  the  bed,  quartering  the 
sample  to  convenient  size,  and  sealing  it  in  an  air-tight  can.

from  Lumberton  to  Elvado  and  was  opened  in  1906  by  the  Burns- 
Biggs  Lumber  Company.  The  thickness  of  this  bed  is  3  feet,  with 
sandstone  above  and  shale  below.
