The approaching completion of the Moffat tunnel and the possible extension of the Moffat railway from Craig, Colo., to Provo, Utah, lend direct interest to the coal resources of an area of about 450 square miles just southwest of Craig, along Yampa river. The coal beds in this area contain coal chiefly of bituminous rank. They occur in the Mesaverade gaologic formation and are in the main similar to those now being mined along the Moffat road between Craig and Oak Creek, Colo. Extensive exploitation of the coals of this area will depend upon the further extension of railroad facilities and upon the ability of new mines to compete with those already established in the eastern part of the Yampa field. Many thick beds of coal are present in the area, and the details of their distribution and the very large reserves of coal estimated to be contained in them are described in a report entitled "Geology and coal resources of the Axia 1 and Monument Butte quadrangles, Moffat County, Colo., which has just been issued by the Department of the Interior as Bulletin 757 of the Geological Survey.
