Mining in the Willeys Quadrangle
Only one mine is known to have operated in this quadrangle. The Stonington Coal Company started mining in 1905 in the Herrin coal seam, at a depth of 460 feet. The Herrin coal, which averaged 7 feet in thickness, proved a good seam to work. In 1915, the mine was bought by Peabody Coal Company to become their Peabody No. 21 Mine, and it operated until 1924.
