Geological Problems Reported

The 1884 Coal Report stated that the shaft was made too small and only 20 bushels at a time could be hoisted out (this was one of the first mines in the Staunton area). They were troubled by gob fires, which the Coal Report linked to bad mining system and bad ventilating by the company that opened the mine; gas issued from the old works.

Production

Company Mine Name Date Production (tons)
Panhorst and Voge Staunton 1871-1878 This shaft was shown on the Atlas of Macoupin County, 1875 and labeled Panhorst and Voge. According to Staunton in Illinois and the Staunton Times (February 26, 1897), the shaft was sunk in February of 1871, and was later used as an air shaft, after Henry Voge sank another shaft.
