The  coal  is  probably  present  over  considerable  territory  in  the 
vicinity  of  Antioch  Church  and  also  on  the  ridges  south  of  Daniel 
3reek  toward  Riihama  Church,  though  the  writer  obtained  but  little 
lata  concerning  its  presence  or  value  in  those  regions.  It  outcrops 
it  Milldale,  but  is  reported  of  little  value.  It  is  not  known  to  the 
writer  to  be  present  west  of  Black  Warrior  River  within  this  quad- 
rangle. 
The  Milldale  coal  appears  to  be  generally  present,  where  not 
eroded,  from  Milldale  to  the  head  of  Turkey  Creek,  west  of  the  river, 
and  southward  to  the  southern  end  of  the  field,  though  probably  it  is 
lot  everywhere  of  minable  thickness.  Where  it  has  boon  opened 
md  mined  it  varies  from  22  to  30  inches  in  thickness,  with  a  parting 
)f  clay  from  one-half  inch  to  2  inches  thick.  Below  are  typical  sec-
