oped. The field extends from the hills
back of Cedar City southeastWard
around the Kulob plateau. nearly 10
the Colorado river, a distance OF 100
miles The coal beds occupy the low
est part of the Colorado formation, the
/ greatest exposure being around the
! eastern end. To the east the coal out
crops along the margin Of the plateau,
and is almost inaccessible from the
valley. The general dip is toward the
northeast The beds at the western
/ end are cut off on the north by a fault
which will render mining operations in
/ that direction impossible. There are
/ also several large eruptive bodies in the
/ portion of the field, the. overfiows from
which have Obscured the OutcrOp IN a
number Of places. At the western end
/ of the field there are two coal beds OF
/ worka bic thickness, separated by 500
] feet Of beds. which contain several
/ small coal seams. The lower one is
/ eight feet thick and the upper from
/ four and a half TO six feet Both of
/ these beds gradually thicken toward
! the east.
/ The coal at the western emu OF the
/ field is semi bituminGus, but soon
! changes toward the east to Ignite
/ There is a small amount Of coal mined
/ for use at Cedar City and in the sur
rounding country.
Henry Mountain Field.-This is a
small field in the southern part OF the
state which has received but little at
tention. owing to its isolated situation.
The coal bearing rocks form fringe
! around the base of the Henry noun
tains. the exposed area amounting 70
only about 500 square miles. There IS
one seam. located at the base OF the
: - 4 a r0fat which
contains four feet of clean Goa OF a
semi-bituminous character. A small
amount Of the coal is mined for the use
of the mining camps along the Colo
RADIO river.
Coal Fields of Idaho.
No coaI. is mined in Idaho on large
scale. the operations being confined to
the small areas Of NeOcene lake beds
along Snake river, in the southern part
of the state. all Of which are in the
nature of prospects. The only other
known occurrences of coal are near
Salmon City. in areas of the same lake
beds, and at the eastern edge Of the
state, where the cretaceOus strata OF
the Sublette field Of Wyoming extend
across the line. At neither Of these
points are any mining operations car
rled on.
The areas in the vicinity Of Boise are
the only ones that have received SUI
hcient attention to furnish data of any
value.
Boise Areas.-Immediately in front o.
the Boise mountains, and occupying tn'
! lover portion of the range between thu
Boise and Payette rivers, are the Neo
Gene lake beds. to which the tern
Psyette formation has been given. A
! the base OF the measures near Horse
l shoe Bend and Jerusalem small seams
of coal are TO be found.
Eut two of the areas. both located
| near the southern end, have developed
l any coal of value. These are called
Z respectively, as above stated, tn
Horseshoe Bend and Jerusalem dis
tricts In the first there is but on
seam. three feet thick, the coal being
high grade Ignite. In the other dis
= trict there are four seams, rangini
= ! from three to eight feet in thickness
the coal of the largest seam being yer
i | impure. The character of the coal
about the same in both districts. Their
5 has not been enough development wOr
: / done to establish the absolute value G
these deposits, and no mines are
I operation.
