This crop is in a down-faulted block whose edges are largely concealed by the alluvial filling of the Clear Creek flats. A half mile south of Heburn School and again a half mile northeast of Kirkwood Springs number 9 coal is opened at country banks in down-faulted blocks whose outlines are not fully known but which are each believed to be of small area. This coal underlies the hills between Silent Run and Richland creek north of the Beulah-Richland road. It crops some 20 to 40 feet above the level of the flats in several places and its position is indicated in others by the outcrop of number 11 coal which is there about 80 or 90 feet above number 9. In the hills just north of Bichland it is just about or a short distance beneath drainage level as number 11 is opened at several places 60 to 80 feet above the flood plain. It underlies Fort Bidge cropping near the base of its southern slope at R. D. Smith's bank and at other points eastward to the Hecla mine at Earlington and east of there passes out of the area under consideration. The crop line of number 9 thus runs southeastward from Curlew to Silent Run and thence eastward to Earlington. As the dip is northeastward in toward the center of the basin, the coal rises into the air to the southwest and south of the line just traced. Some small outlying areas due to down-faulted blocks have already been mentioned and south of the Silent Run-Earlington crop there is an extensive and valuable area of number 9 coal in the region extending east from Crabtree to Nortonville and north to Barnsley. The existence of this area is due to down-faulting in its western and middle portions and either to a slight down throw in its eastern part between Barnsley and Morton's Gap or to...
