flank of Anthracite Ridge contains beds carrying anthl acte coal or cx. celient grade, which is exposed at many places. At a place on the head of West Fork of Burlington Creek a bed of anthracite nearly 40 feet thick, crops out. In this area however. the coalbearing formation Is highly disturbed by folding, crumb- ling and faulting, as we'll as bodies of intrusive rock, such as dikes and sills. The coal beds appear to lie in synclinal basins, most of the up per part of the folds having been removed by erosion. These beds no doubt contain considerable excellent anthracite coal, but whether it oc- CUTS in beds sufficiently large and continuous to justify the expense of mining, is uncertain in view of the cost of building a railroad to it. Very little prospecting has been done on the anthracite beds, and whether they include workable bodies of coal can be proved only by extensive ex- ploration, both on the surface and underground
 Prospects of Marketing the Coal
 The beds of bituminous coal near ChickalOOn are so complex in struc- ture that the coal cannot be mined for general use in steam raising in competition with the more cheaply mined coals of the lower Matanuska Valley, where, though the coals are of lower grade, the structure is simp- Ter The utilization of the coals of the upper Matanuska Valley depends on the development of the market | for a Superior coal that cannot be supplied from the other beds in this region, on price sufficient to yield profit notwithstanding the compara- lively high cost of mining them, and on their ability to compete with coals of similar grade mined in other dis tricts The high-grade blacksmith coal of the Chickaloon area and the anthracite must compete with coal mined in the eastern part of the
 United States but the cheapness of transportation of the high-grade Mat anuska coals to market on the west coast of the United States should
 favor their development. It is also
