Abstract
This report is based on a brief examination of a locality on the Beluga River, about 50 miles west of Anchorage, Alaska (fig. 1), that had been reported to contain a coal bed of exceptional thickness and quality, possibly suitable for large-scale strip mining. I visited the locality on August 21-22, 1954, accompanied by Mike Goggans, of Anchorage, who volunteered to guide me to the locality, and by Joe Schneller, of the Two Joe Fish Co. on the Beluga River, who furnished a boat and outboard motors and served as boatman. I wish to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of both men in making the trip possible and in assisting in the field work.
