INTERPRETING A MINE SUMMARY SHEET
Unlocated Mines In: Macoupin unlocated
County: Macoupin
Quadrangle: Gillespie South
Bunker Hill
County Coal Data: Macoupin
Shown On Map: Yes
Unlocated: No
MSHA ID:

Mine Index Number: 0188

Company Name: Superior Coal Company
Mine Name: Superior No. 4 Mine
Start Date: 1918 End Date: May 1954
Type of Mine: Underground
Total acres shown: 19,186
Acres after map date: General Area of mining acres shown:

The boundaries between this mine, Superior No. 1 (mine index 0413), Superior No. 2 (mine index 0503), and Superior No. 3 (mine index 0066) could not be distinguished. The acreage reported is the total for all four mines.

Shaft, Slope, Drift or Tipple Location(s)

Type County Township-Range Section Part Section
Main shaft (11 x 21 ft) Macoupin 7N 7W 10 30 FSL, 910 FWL, SW NE
Air shaft (11 x 17 ft) Macoupin 7N 7W 10 SE SW NE

Geology

Thickness (ft)
Seam Depth (ft) Min Max Ave Mining Method
Herrin 307-314 6.0 Where the coal was cut out or eroded, the seam thickness was as low as 3 feet. 8.0-8.5 7.0-7.5 RPP

Geological Problems Reported

Slips and rock rolls were common in the coal. The rock rolls were nodules or protrusions downward from the limestone roof. These were more common in the eastern side of the mine and decreased to the west. The western workings were very wet; one hypothesis suggested that the moisture seeped in through the slips. Some faults were present, with displacement up to 2 feet or more. In one place, the limestone cap rock was impure and a roof fall included the limestone. Concretions (some limey) were present in the southeastern part of the mine.

Production

Company Mine Name Date Production (tons)
Superior Coal Company Superior No. 4 1918-1953 Idle 1933 24,113,128
Superior Coal Company Superior No. 4 1953-1954 307,336 Production after map date
Total Production: 24,420,464

Production Notes
