Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Topographic and Geological Survey of Pennsylvania: The Broad-Top Coal Field of Huntingdon, Bedford and Fulton Counties
In 1912 there were seventeen companies operating in the Broad Top Coalfield.
There are three coal beds mined in the broad-top field, being in ascending order, the Fulton, Barnett and Kelly. These are the only beds of commercial importance and the only ones in the field, other than thin beds and local deposits, which are discussed later in this report. The three beds are in the Allegheny Series; the Fulton lies close to the top of the Pottsville; the Barnett about fifty feet above the Fulton, and the Kelly about ninety feet above the Barnett. The intervals between the beds are quite variable in different localities, but the figures as given are not far from the average.
