been accepted an accurate authority
for having assisted him in the work
OF prepEring this pamphlet.
In the beginning of the work, the
author discusses the work of the
geological survey in this State, and
the publication Of the first five vol.
umes. which deals with the old devel.
oped counties Of Brooke, Hancock
and Ohio in the upper panhandle.
The survey has been criticised for
publishing their first report concern.
ing these counties, where only u frac.
ton over n per cent. of the coal
tonnage OF the State is produced, but
Major Anderson states that the seem.
Ing blunder was the result Of three
reasons, the first Of which Is because
the U. S. geological survey began its
Typographical mapping before DR..
White was appointed or the State
commission created. The second rca.
son advanced Is that the panhandle
counties are small and we're the first
to have the topographic maps com
pleted and third, that In 1902 when
the volume on coal was published,
the greater development had taken
place In the northern portion Of the
State. and naturally, there was more
data to be had. Since that time, how
ever, the greatest strides have been
made in the southern section OF the
State and 1t Is here that capital is be.
ing investigated. The new colume on
coal will deal with the resources OF
the southern tier of counties, where
tho major portion of olr large coal
tonnage is produced.
