[Footnote 33: The Panther Creek District forms a part of what is known
as the Southern Field; in the matter of hardness, however, these coals
are more nearly akin to Lehigh coals.]

Field.]
[Footnote 35: Geographically, the Shamokin District is part of the
Western Middle Mahanoy Field, but the coals found in this section
resemble more closely those of the Wyoming Field.]
