Rippon Coal Company The source maps indicated that the predecessor to the I. L. Truax Mine was High Light Coal Company. No production was listed in the Coal Report under that name. The survey dates for this mine map (ISGS map library 4103.V4 i5.1-25 or microfilm document 353014) show that this mine operated from at least 2-19-1933 to 6-16-1935, and must have reported under the name of Rippon Coal Company. | Rippon | 1933-1936 | 7,871 Production was not listed in the Coal Reports from 1930 through 1934 for mines producing less than 1,000 tons per year. Production is likely higher than shown. |
Jay Coal Company | I. L. Truax | 1937-1937 | 920 |
Jay Coal Company | I. L. Truax | 1937-1938 | 961 Production after map date |
