Stale Coal Output Slowly Increasing Nearly 17 Million Tons During 1956 INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Indiana's coal production, which dropped to a 50-year low three years ago, is slowly moving upward. ’ Dr. Charles E. Wier, an Indiana University geologist, said production from 121 Hoosier mines located in 17 counties totaled nearly 17 million tons last year. The low was 13 million tons in 1954, poorest mark since 1908. The high was 1918 when 31 million tons were produced. After the 1954 low, production increased in 1955 to about 16 million tons and made a slight gain again last year. Wier’s figures were contained in a new “Directory of Coal Producers in Indiana.” which included vital statistics abo>»t coal mining since records Wbnrlkept. Seventy-one of Indiana's 121 operating mines are strip mines and 50 are shaft or underground mines. They are located in Clay, Daviess, Dubois. Fountain, Gibson, Greene, Knox, Martin, Owen, Parke, Perry. Pike. Spencer, Sullivan, Vermillion, Vigo and Warrick counties. About 65 per cent of Indiana's coal output in 1955 came from strip mines, according to Wier. Thirty-four of the state’s largest mines produced over 90 per cent of the total tonnage in that year.

Five mines each produced over a million tons of coal. Three of them are located In Warrick County and one each in Vigo and Pike counties. Warrick was cited as the county having the largest increase in coal production. Here coal from large strip mines is barged up the Ohio River to the generating plant at Madison to make electricity for the atomic energy plant at Portsmouth, Ohio. Among other information in-' eluded in the new directory is a list of active coal mines in Indiana and two maps, one showing location of the mines and the other showing areas in Indiana containing commercial coal.
