Fremont County Coal Field.

Explorations in the extreme south
western portion of the Fremont county
coal belt by Bowie a. Rockafellow
show that the coal areas are larger and
better than supposed and prove that
there Is enough OF the black diamonds
in them TO guarantee large operations
for the next 100 years. The diamond
drill tests show that thlrty-four sepa-
rate coal measures exist where II was
heretofore supposed there were but
five.
In the prospecting three places were
selected, mile apart. to test the
thickness Of veins and the dip and
drainage for the most economical min
Ing. The first vein was four feet
thick and was encountered at 300 feet
core was then taken through SAB
feet Of the coal bearing rock and with
In this district thirty.three other seams
were encountered. The lowest vein In
sixteen feet thick. and the coal In
harder than that mined nearer the sur
face. This coal resembles anthracite
and tests are to be made. Separated
BY six feet Of rock IL another vein fiye
feet thick. which IL not NJ hard aa
the larger one.
The discovery adds millions OF dol
lars to the value u the Fremont
county coal area and will be the means
OF establishing dozens Of new coal
mines near the foothills Of the Green
horn range. Another test In to be made
