Geological Problems Reported
The source map shows bad top in the western half of 17-T9S-R4E. Water was also noted at the northern end of the mine. The roof was 2.5 feet of black shale. The coal dipped to the north and east, too steeply for a mule to pull.
Production
Company | Mine Name | Date | Production (tons) |
New Norris Coal Company | New Norris | 1947-1949 | 31,673 |
Norris-Wilson Coal Company | Norris-Wilson | 1950-1952 | 6,403 |
Parton Coal Company | Parton No. 2 | 1954-1969 Idle 1969 | 450,053 |
Morris Coal Company Buddy Morris attempted to re-open Parton No. 2 Mine, but difficulties with blasting in the nearby pits of Amax Delta mine (mine index 0702) resulted in a court case attempting to stop Delta personnel from blasting while the underground miners were at work. This underground mine was closed in early 1980 and bought by Amax Coal Company to surface mine the Herrin Coal above this mine. Morris still owned the Springfield Coal, but the mining of the coal was unlikely due to the fracturing of the roof from the surface mine explosives. | Morris No. 7 | 1978-1979 | 213,256 |
Total Production: 701,385 |
