Hughes' pre-emption adjacent to Departure Bay and one for the Dunsmuir Coal Reserve located next to Diver Lake, two tramways, a school lot, other coal mines, and swamps. There are measurements for acres and a small inset map for West Rocks in the vicinity of Departure Bay that has a Post and a Beacon on it.
