Excerpt from Report of the United States Geological Survey of the Territories, Vol. 10 I will now enumerate the sources from which my material has been derived, beginning; with the Arctic regions, Labrador British America, and going down by way of the alpine summits and lowlands of New England to the Middle and Southern Atlantic States, thence to the Southeastern States, to the ri'rans-mississippi States, to Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, closing with the Pacific region, beginning with Vancouver Island and ending with Southern California.

Excerpt from Eighteenth Annual Report of the United States Geological Survey, 1897, Vol. 5: Continued The present report will be of a character nearly uniform with the preceding ones. The plan adopted by Mr. Weeks was to limit the use of the word coke to that kind of coke which is made from bituminous coal in pits, ovens, retorts, etc., and which for convenience may be termed oven coke. The statistics and text in no way refer to the product of coke made in the manufacture of illuminating gas, and which may be termed gas coke, that is to say, only that coke is considered which is primary product in the manufacture. By-product coke is not coke so far as these reports are concerned. In one particular only has any change been made in this report as compared with preceding ones. This relates to the definition of the word establishments. In previous reports an establishment was usually considered to cover all ovens and banks of ovens under one general management. In the present chapter an establishment means a separate report. Each oven or bank of ovens from which a separate report is received is considered a separate establishment. This makes the number of establishments seem unusually large for 1896 - nearly 30 per cent over 1895 - whereas the increase in the num ber of ovens was only 3 per cent. The coal used in coking in the United States is mined from all five of its great coal fields: (1) The Appalachian; (2) the Central; (3) the Western; (4) the Rocky Mountain, and (5) the Pacific Coast. With the exception of that made from the coals of the Appalachian field, however, the tonnage of coke produced in the United States is quite small, but tons of the total of tons made in 1895, or about per cent, and tons out of tons, or per cent in 1896, being produced outside of this field. While the produc tion in the fields outside of the Appalachian region is quite small in percentage, it is really a growing one, the amount there made in 1895 being somewhat larger than the amount produced in 1893 or 1894, and still larger in 1896 than in 1895. The production of coke increased in nine States outside of the Appalachian field in 1896 and decreased in four.
