Malone Coal Company The ISGS mine notes indicate E. & B. Coal Company, Corinth Mine (mine index 981) bought this mine, but the mine notes gave different locations for the pits. Two index numbers are used, since it appears the mine was shut down and a new mine begun nearby. These three-digit index numbers relate to chemical analyses in other databases and are retained, even when the separate mines cannot be distinguished on the accompanying map and their histories are intertwined.
