The Bureau investigated coal reserves in four major fields, Ka nab, Kolob, Harmony and Kai-parowits, and found the Kaipar-owits field the most likely to be mined first, Sen. Bennett said. The Kaiparowits field has large reserves of high quality low sul-J fur coal, ipore than three billion' tons, and is located near water supplies, the Bureau reported. The Kanab field, as well as the Kaiparowits field, appears to have excellent low cost strippable coal reserves. Bureau investigators found there is a good chance that a mine-mouth power plant will be built in the near future if a guaranteed supply of water can be made available.

The Bureau found that the Kolob coal was relatively low in quality, and that the Harmony field was of little economic value because of its high ash content and the mining difficulties it presents.
