Excerpt from Report on the Coal Measures of Blount Mountain: With Map and SectionsAn exhaustive report cannot be predicated on an untested coal field. Mining at different points, on the different seams, sufficiently extensive, can alone expose their qualities and geological characteristics. This only source Of positive knowledge has been, and is yet, almost wholly wanting in this coal field. When the geological examination of this region was made no mining was being done the seams which had been opened in former years, were abandoned, and the openings filled up, or caved in. Some of these were re opened, but others, and probably the most important, could not be, with the limited means at the disposal of the survey. Many new openings were made, and several seams of coal exposed, the existence of which had not been previously known. All of these will be referred to in their proper places in the details, and general description of the field.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
