Abstract
The district at hand is one somewhat remote from any known field of productive Coal Measures, but being Upper Carboniferous in age is a region to which considerable geological and economical interest has been attached. There has always been an anticipation of finding heavy fuel veins, but as yet these looked-for strata have not been positively located. Reports, often manufactured, and the meeting of thinner veins of coal, have led to the increased expectations now prevalent in the district.
