One of these, the Horseshoe district, on the west side of the Teton Hawn in Teton county, has produced email quantities that have been used chiefly to supply the local demand. Improvements now in progress will increase production, but the field is email and the coni has been sheared by rock movements, so that much of it shatters readily and will not stand transportation. The quantity of marketable lump coal available will irob-abl- y not justify development on, a large scale. The other coal district is in Clark county on the Continental Divide at the head of Cottonwood Creek. Here a thirty-tw- o inch lied of pmd coal baa been found, but the area in which it crops out is not large and it is so far from lines of transjmrtatinn and a snitahle market that its early exploitation is doubtful.
