Mine Data

Mine data are presented in tables 10-17 arranged alphabetically by counties. It is believed that the information that can be gained from these data will be useful in choosing areas in which coal production can be reestablished in time of fuel shortage.

The data were collected during the late summer and early fall of 1942.
