To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The coal field of southern Luzon is said to extend across the Strait of San Bernardino into the northern portion of S4mar. Here coal is reported at half a dozen localities, but I have been able to ascertain no details as to the thickness or quality. In Mindoro there are large. deposits of coal in the extreme southern portion (Bulacao) and on the small adjacent island of Semirara. This fuel is said to be similar to that of Batan. The islands of Masbate and Panay contain coal, the deposits of whi...ch thus far discovered do not seem of much importance. Specimens from the southwestern portion of Leyte, analyzed in the laboratory of the Inspeccion de Minas, are of remarkably high quality, but nothing- definite about the deposit is known to me. The first discovery of coal in the archipelago was made in the island of Cebu in 1827. Since then lignitic beds have been found on the island at a great variety of points. The most important croppings are on the eastern slope within some 15 or 20 miles of the capital, also named Oebu.
