Record Coal Pact Is Signed I’LA INFIELD — Signing of agreements for the largest purchase of coal in Indiana's history was announced today by officials of Public Service Company of Indiana and two coal mining

firms.

The electric utility has agreed to purchase approximately 34 million tons of Hoosier coal over a 15-year period from the Peabody Coal Company, St. Louis, and from Ayrshire Collieries Corp., Indianapolis, through its sales agency, Republic Coal and Coke Co. Separate negotiations for the record transactions were completed this week by officials of the coal firms and the electric utility, which serves customers in 69 Hoosier counties. It was necessary to obtain coal from the reserves of both mining companies to satisfy the requirements of this large purchase. All of the coal covered by the contracts will come from Indiana mines in the Terre HauteLinton area. It will be used at Public Service Company’s Wabash River and Dresser power stations located near Terre

Haute.

Officials estimate the total dollar value of the coal, transportation and cost of additional mining equipment to be well over $150 million. This includes approximately $55 million for mini wages, not including wages related to equipment purchases and transportation. “This long-range agreement to further assure adequate supplies of coal is in line with our

company’s policy of continually planning ahead to provide ample electric power for our customers," said Carroll H. Blanchard, Public Service Company presi-

dent.

The contract also offers additional economic stability for mining areas in western Indiana. Coal to fill the long-term contract may come from five different mines. Prime sources will be Ayrshire’s Friar Tuck Mine north of Linton and Peabody's Chieftain Mine southwest of Riley, the Airline Mine near Linton, and the Viking Mine, adjacent to the Wabash River power station. Merl C. Kelce, president of Peabody Coal Company, said his firm plans to expand its mining facilities to provide enough coal to satisfy requirements of the agreement. Ayrshire’s President Norman E. Kelb announced that Tiis firm is installing a huge electric dragline for stripping purposes at its Friar Tuck Mine. The dragline weighing 3.925 tons, will have a 275-foot boom. Cost of the dragline is approximately $5 million. Some 22.000 man-hours of labor will be required to complete its erection. Coal will be delivered to Wabash River Station in full-train movements over the Milwaukee Railroad. The coal trains will operate directly between the mines and the generating plant five days a week. Eventually this coal volume will reach 6,800 tons per trainload. Coal to the electric company's Dresser Station will move by trucks of Haley Brothers Coal & Supply, Terre Haute, and the Pennsylvania Railroad.
