The area shown is disturbed land that appears to have been surface-mined by Malone No. 1 Mine (mine index 0939) and the Corinth/Phoenix Mine. The production of the Malone No. 1 Mine indicates that approximately 3 acres were mined and approximately 50 acres were mined by the Phoenix Mine. |

Geological Problems Reported
The overburden was soft and thin. The coal had very low sulfur content, as low as 0.6%, and was used by the Sahara Coal Company to blend with their higher sulfur coals. The lower bench of the coal (2 inches thick) was not mined because the quality was low, with high ash and sulfur contents.

Company | Mine Name | Date | Production (tons) |
E. and B. Coal Company The ISGS mine notes indicate E. and B. Coal Company bought the Malone No. 1 Mine (mine index 0939), but the mine notes gave different locations for the pits. Two index numbers are used, since it appears the Malone 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. | Corinth | 1980-1983 Idle 1984-1989 | 37,093 |
