The Coal Resources OF Wyoming


Survey estimates the quantity OF
coal in the ground in Wyoming as
exceeding that Of any other State
in the Union, with the possible
exception of North Dakota. This
great quantity is due in the first
place, to the large number of coal
bearing formations in the State,
second, to the great number and
thickness of the coal beds, and
third, to the size of the coal fields,
about so per cent of the area of
the State being underlain by coal
bearing formations.
The largest coal field of the
State is that of Powder River,
which lies in the basin or trough
between the Black Hills and the
Bighorn Mountains and extends
from North Platte River to the
Montana line. This field is the
southern extension of the great
Fort Union coal region of Mon
tana and North Dakota, and en-
braces in Wyoming an area Of
about $1,000 square miles. OF
this area at least 11,000 square
miles are underlain by coal beds
known to be more than 3 feet
thick, and the remainder may in
places contain beds thick enough
to work.
Wyoming is the second largest
coal producing State in the Rocky
Mountain region, Colorado rank
ing first; aud if production in
Wyoming continues to increase
within the next few years as it has
done in the last % it will soon
rival Colorado for the first place.
The coal mined in Wyoming is
bituminous and sub-bituminous.
More than half of the product
comes from the Kemmerer district,
in Uinta Co., and from the Rock
Springs field, in Sweetwater
County.
The Geological Surveys esti-
mates give Wyoming credit for a
larger original coal supply than
any other State except North
Dakota, which is estimated to have
contained originally 5OO,OOO,0OO,
600 short tons of coal. The coal
in North Dakota is, however, all
Ignite, but while the coal in
Wyoming is either bituminous or
semibituminous, Wyoming's sup
ply is estimated to have been 424,
0S5, 100000 short tons, compared
with which the aggregate produc-
ton to the close of 1910 (97 1894,
S64 short tons) appears insignifi-
cant. The total exhaustion of the
beds up to the close of 1910
amounted to lac, 900 short
tons, or thirty-four thousandths of
/ per cent of the total estimated
supply.
