No. 2. This seam shows a total thickness of eight feet, but it contains so many slate partings that I could not estimate the bed highly. No. 3. Here I saw fifteen inches of coal, with slate partings. No. 4. An irregular bed, four to seven feet in thickness, crushed, and probably dislocated, and so slaty as to be of doubtful value. No. 5. Another crushed and irregular exposure, four to six feet thick. The coal looks better, and promises to be a good seam when found in its natural state. No. 6. A two-foot seam resembling No. 1. Mr. Whitworth furnished me the following details of an opening near the camp on Raging River, which was not in a condition to be seen during my visit, but which has since been gone in upon for about fifteen feet. From bed-rock, ascending: FT. INS.

Dip 22° to south. Mr. Whitworth says that the coal improved as he went in, and he is quite hopeful about this seam. But his record reads to me like the description of a slide; still it may not be so. The show upon the whole, as seen by me, was not satisfactory--and yet the beds might possibly improve inward; and if the coal should coke well, it might pay to wash it; as could easily be done at Raging River. [Sidenote: Snoqualmie Mountain Coal Group.] The Snoqualmie Coal Group outcrops some hundreds of feet up the west side of Snoqualmie Mountain, and about three miles southwest of Hop Ranch. The outcrop has been traced perhaps one mile. There are five seams here running north and south with the strike of the mountain rocks. The seams dip west at an angle of 45°, _i.e._, away from the axis of the mountain. [Sidenote: Details.] [Sidenote: Good coking coal.]
