Excerpt from Coal Fields of Northwestern Colorado and Northeastern Utah

This report is the result of investigations carried on during the summer seasons of 1906 and 1907 in northwestern Colorado and northeastern Utah. It is designed to supplement but does not include the previously published work on the Yampa coal field, which is part of the same general region. The work, which was undertaken by the United States Geological Survey in pursuance of a systematic plan for collecting information concerning undeveloped fuel resources of the Western States, has, since 1905, been under the general supervision of M. R. Campbell as geologist in charge of the economic geology of fuels.

The importance of the mineral-fuel resources and the growing realization of the need for their conservation have given the primary impulse to this general work. While the great coal fields of the eastern United States have long been the scene of large commercial activity and through many and extensive surveys their extent and probably available resources have come to be very completely known, yet it is only in recent years that widespread interest has been attracted to the numerous important and extensive fields of the Western States, and especially to those of the Rocky Mountain and northern Great Plains province.

Location Of Fields.

The work here described is a continuation of the examination made of the Yampa coal field in Routt County, Colo., in the summer of 1905, the report on which has already been published.
