In the central part OF he Held are
seven workable beds OF coal. These
are designated as the lower and up
per Hartshorne, the lower and upper
McAlestcr, the Cavanal, and the lower
and upper Witteyille,
The lower Hartshorno coal lies di-
rectly above the Hartshorne sand
stone. This coal has been extensively
along ten outcrops and is
being mined at several localities. Its
average thickness is about four feet
1t is clear Of impurities and of a good
quality.
The upper HartshOrne coal bed oC-
ours about fifty feet above the lower.
The coal has practically the same
aspect and quality as the lower bed.

thickness and IN the Wilburton dis

The roof In both the HartshuTne
beds is good. The material is usually
hard, slaty shale locally replaced by
sandstone. The floor is a compact
shale or clay

The lower McAltstar coal occurs
from 1900 to 1900 feet above the
IIartshOrnc coal. The bed has an out
crop length of seventy miles In the
