Abstract

A great many assumptions will necessarily have to be made for the purpose of developing the subject and the first will naturally be that dealing with the character of the coal beds and the associated rock formations along with other geological data.

The general geological conditions will be taken as similar to those found in the Coal Creek District of Tennessee. The coal vein has & maximum dip of 2% to the Best and the face or main cleavage of the coal makes an angle of 40 degrees with the dip. An average width of 42" of coal is found covered by 30" of hard slate and having underneath 2 soft hed of clay 1' in thickness. The coal is bituminous and non-coking.
