Excerpt from Coal: Report of Henry E. Colton, Geologist and Inspectors of Mines on the Coal Mines of Tennessee, and Other Minerals, to A. W.

It is thus seen that the mere area of a coal field may be a very poor indica tion of the quantity of coal it contains, and without an examination into the thickness of the seams, and the quality of the coal therein, any judgment formed from area alone may be very incorrect.
