A  bed  of  cannel  coal  has  recently  been  found  in  the  valley  of  North 
Fork  of  Virgin  River,  and  in  the  fall  of  1907  a  prospect,  known  as  the 
Cannel  King  (No.  12),  was  opened  in  sec.  26,  T.  39  S.,  R.  9  W.,  where 
the  following  section  was  measured:

The  cannel-coal  bed  occurs  about  100  feet  above  the  conglomerate 
at  the  base  of  the  Cretaceous  section,  and  160  feet  below  a  prominent 
bed  of  white  sandstone  which  will  serve  as  a  guide  in  prospecting.  As 
yet  little  work  has  been  done  here  and  the  extent  of  the  bed  has  not 
been  determined.  It  has  not  been  discovered  in  sections  made  several 
miles  northwest  and  southeast  of  the  Cannel  King  property,  and  it  is 
probable  that  this  coal  is  not  of  great  extent.

In  Long  Valley,  at  the  east  end  of  the  Colob  field,  several  openings 
have  been  made  on  the  coal,  which  is  conveniently  located  and  easy 
of  access.     But  the  quality  is  inferior  to  that  of  the  coal  farther
