Mine Index Number: 3788
Company Name: | Contract Coal Company | ||
---|---|---|---|
Mine Name: | Contract Mine No.s 1, 2 and 4 | ||
Start Date: | 1907 | End Date: | 1929 |
Type of Mine: | Underground and Surface | ||
Total acres shown: | 205 and 188 | ||
Acres after map date: | General Area of mining acres shown: | ||
The Western Brick Property mines show a total of 188 acres surface-mined and 205 acres underground-mined on Danville SE and Danville SW Quadrangles. These pits are named 3788 on the Danville SW Quadrangle and 3710 on the Danville SE Quadrangle. The production of the mines is not recorded so that tonnage can be reliably split between surface and underground mines to correspond to the area shown, thus the area shown is larger than would be expected for the tonnage recorded. Western Brick Company leased their coal lands to other operators, and some of the unlocated mines reported in Vermilion County probably mined Western Brick lands. |
