|reason_nsm=The Western Brick Property mines show a total of 188 acres surface-mined and 205 acres underground-mined on Danville Southeast and Danville Southwest Quadrangles. These pits are named 3788 on the Danville Southwest Quadrangle and 3710 on the Danville Southeast 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.

County Coal Data: Vermilion
Shown On Map: Yes
Unlocated: No
MSHA ID:

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 underground and 140 surface
Acres after map date: General Area of mining acres shown:

The Western Brick Property mines show a total of 140 acres surface-mined and 205 acres underground-mined on Danville SE and Danville SW Quadrangles. These pits are named 3710 on the Danville SE Quadrangle and 3788 on the Danville SW Quadrangle. The production of the mines is not recorded in a way that tonnage can be reliably split between surface and underground mines to match up with the area shown, but 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 at the back of this report probably mined Western Brick lands.
