Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coal mining photographs of C. William Horrell, taken across the southern Illinois Coal Belt over a twenty-year period from 1966 to 1986, are extraordinary examples of documentary photography--so stark and striking that captions often seem superfluous. Horrell's photographs capture the varied phenomena of twentieth-century coal mining technology: the awesome scale of surface mining machines and their impact on the land; massive machines forced into narrow passageways with inches to spare as they carry coal from the face to conveyer belts; and, more significant, the advent of continuous miners, machines that can handle four previously separate processes and which have been a fixture in underground or "deep" mines since the mid-1960s. Horrell was also intrigued by the related activities of mining, including coal's processing, cleaning, and transportation, as well as the daily, behind-the-scenes operations that keep mines and miners working. His photographs reflect the beauty of the commonplace--the clothes of the miners, their dinner pails, and their tools--and reveal the picturesque remnants of closed mines: the weathered boards of company houses, the imposing iron beauty of an ancient tipple, and an abandoned building against the lowering sky of an approaching storm. Finally, his portraits of coal minersshow the strength, dignity, and enduring spirit of the men and women who work the southern Illinois coal mines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coal Mining in Illinois The annual coal production of the world is approximately tons, of which amount the United States pro duces about 40 per cent and the State of Illinois more than 4. Illinois is the third largest producer of coal in the United States, being exceeded in production only by Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and its annual tonnage is about 11 per cent of the output of the country. Employing men who mine annually 60 million tons of coal worth over 70 million dollars, the coal mining industry must be regarded as one of the most important industries in the State and its economic status is of vital interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coal Mining Practice in District VII District N 0. VII of the Illinois Coal Mining Investigations, as shown in fig. 1, includes all mines operating in coal bed 6 west of the Duquoin anticline and north as far as an east-west line about 6 miles south of Springfield. It comprises the fol lowing counties: Bond, Clinton, Fayette, Macoupin, Madison, Marion, Montgomery, Moultrie, Randolph, St. Clair, Shelby and Washington, together with that portion of Perry County west of the Duquoin anticline and those portions of Christian and Sangamon Counties in which bed 6 is mined. Fayette county at present does not contribute to the production of the district. Table 1 gives general data for district VII by counties. A detailed description of the districts into which the State has been divided and the method of collecting the data upon which this bulletin is based is contained in Bulletin 1, A I're liminary Report on Organization and Method. The coal output of the district for the year ended June 30, 1912, was short tons, per cent of the total production of the State. This output came from 196 mines, 150 shipping and 46 local, employing men and operating on an average of 158 days in the year. The number of employees was per cent of all employed in coal mining in the State. The use of undercutting machines made possible the production of per cent of the State's coal output by per cent of the employees. In the fiscal year 1912, machines undercut tons, per cent of the production of the district. The large percentage of undercut coal produced in the district reduces powder consumption. During the year ended June 30. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
