Mining began in 1917 at the Standard No. 1 Mine (mine index 187). This mine, like all of the mines in the Carlinville East quad, mined the Herrin Coal, which averages 6 to 7 feet in thickness in this area. In 1918, a shaft was sunk by Standard Oil Company (mine index 2933) which caved and was closed, with no coal having been produced. The following year Standard No. 2 Mine ([[0228|mine index 228]]) was opened. The early mines all experienced a combination of roof and floor problems. The last of these early mines closed in 1951 with the closing of Standard No. 2 Mine ([[0228|mine index 228]]). Production ceased in 1947, but the mine continued to pass from owner to owner until 1951. In 1970, Monterey No. 1 Mine ([[0886|mine index 886]]) began production, and mining once again began in this quad. This mine closed in 2007, but was later reopened by Macoupin Energy, LLC, as Shay No. 1 Mine in 2009.
Four seams have been mined in this quadrangle. All have been mined from the surface as well as underground. Most of the mining took place in the Springfield Coal, which crops out along an east-west trend about the middle of the quadrangle. The Springfield Coal generally ranges from 4 to 6.5 feet thick and averages about 5 feet thick over the area. The Springfield Coal was not deposited or is split into two or more seams by shale in the area west of Harrisburg. This is near the Galatia Channel, which was deposited contemporaneously with the Springfield Coal. The Dykersburg Shale overlies the seam in this area, generally making a good roof.
 
The Herrin Coal was also mined in this quadrangle, and generally ranges from 4 to 6 feet thick. This seam was shallow and was typically surface-mined.
 
A few mines also reportedly mined the Danville Coal (above the Springfield Coal) and the Houchin Creek Coal (between the Springfield and Dekoven Coals).
 
The Dekoven and Davis Coals were mined in the southern part of the quadrangle. They are thinner than the Springfield Coal, generally about 3 feet thick each. These seams were commonly surface mined where both seams could be taken together, such as in Peabody Coal Company’s Will Scarlet Mine ([[0697|mine index 697]]).
 
Most of the mining in this quadrangle was from the mid-1930s until 1997.

Mining in the Carrier Mills Quadrangle

Four seams have been mined in this quadrangle. All have been mined from the surface as well as underground. Most of the mining took place in the Springfield Coal, which crops out along an east-west trend about the middle of the quadrangle. The Springfield Coal generally ranges from 4 to 6.5 feet thick and averages about 5 feet thick over the area. The Springfield Coal was not deposited or is split into two or more seams by shale in the area west of Harrisburg. This is near the Galatia Channel, which was deposited contemporaneously with the Springfield Coal. The Dykersburg Shale overlies the seam in this area, generally making a good roof.

The Herrin Coal was also mined in this quadrangle, and generally ranges from 4 to 6 feet thick. This seam was shallow and was typically surface-mined.

A few mines also reportedly mined the Danville Coal (above the Springfield Coal) and the Houchin Creek Coal (between the Springfield and Dekoven Coals).

The Dekoven and Davis Coals were mined in the southern part of the quadrangle. They are thinner than the Springfield Coal, generally about 3 feet thick each. These seams were commonly surface mined where both seams could be taken together, such as in Peabody Coal Company’s Will Scarlet Mine (mine index 697).

Most of the mining in this quadrangle was from the mid-1930s until 1997.
