Plate VIII—A Coal Map of Kansas
This Coal Map is designed to show how the coal bearing formations of Kansas pass under each other to the west. To understand the map properly the reader should cut out the portions in white from each of the first five leaves, so that the colored parts only remain. In that way the borders will fall in proper places so that each individual sheet will represent one formation passing under those above it. The decrease in intensity of shading represents the decreasing probability of finding coal in anyone of these formations by prospecting for it to the west of the areas where it is exposed to the surface.
Plate IX accompanies Plate VIII and represents the coal bearing area in the Cretaceous rocks of north central Kansas. The heavy lines bound the surface exposures of the Dakota formation and the shaded areas within locate the Cretaceous coal.
Plate IX—Coal Map of the Dakota Cretaceous. The heavy lines limit the Dakota areas, and the shaded parts show the locations of coal.

Plate XXXI—Section through Arcadia.
Plate XXXII—Intersection of Horsebacks 1 and 2, as seen in Nesch Brick Yards, Pittsburg. (Photographed by Crane, 1897.)
Plate XXXIII—Intersection of Coal and Horseback, as seen in Mine in Weir City. (Photographed by flash light by Crane, 1897.)
Plate XXXIV—Plan of long wall system of mining.
Heavy solid lines represent entries, hauling roads, and air passages; light solid lines and broken lines represent new and old rooms; numbered dotted lines represent faces of coal at different stages of the growth of mine. Arrows represent direction of air currents and show method of ventilation. This plate represents the system of long wall mining by advancing, that is, the coal is removed, wholly, as the face of the coal advances.
Plate XXXV—Vertical section and horizontal plan of long wall system of mining.
The black represents the coal; the cross-hatched, worked-out portions of mine; open spaces, entries and air passages; and the arrows represent air currents. In the vertical section, the entry is seen open in the middle of section; the opening for mining operations and air passage is seen next to face of coal at the left-hand side. The gob or wall-packing is also shown in the vertical as well as horizontal section and plan.
Plate XXXVI—Double entry method-room and pillar system.
Plate XXXVII—Plan of single entry method, room and pillar system, showing system of mine ventilation.

Plate LII—Diagrams showing decrease in percent of fixed carbon in coal of the state.
The percent of fixed carbon is marked off at the bottom of the chart, and the distance in miles on the sides. The percent of fixed carbon found in the coals of a certain locality with the distance in miles of the locality from an initial or starting point, give the means of platting the curves or diagrams. No. 1 shows the decrease in value of coals in passing from Columbus on the south to Cloud county on the north. No,2 shows the decrease in value of coals in passing from Pittsburg on the east to Cloud county on the west.
Plate LIII—Diagrams showing decrease in percent of calorific power of coals of the state.
The percent of calorific power, or the number of pounds of water evaporated per pound of coal burned, is marked off at the bottom of the cbart, the distance, in miles, of the locality on the sides, from an initial or starting point, give the means of platting the curves or diagrams. No. 1 shows the decrease in heat producing value of coals in passing from Columbus on the south to Leavenworth on the north. No. 2 shows the decrease in value in passing from Pittsburg on the east to Osage City on the west.
