Some Kentucky Coal Figures

Kentucky's coal industry is greater
than ever before, it is constantly
growing. In recent years it has been
greatly accelerated, especially an the
Eastern coal fields. There several
railroads have been run into the rich
est fields and large quantities of the
"black diamonds" are being sent to
the coast and other great markets.
Not many know that some of the
earliest coal mined in Kentucky came
from the earth in the sections of
country around Owensboro. The Bon
Harbor hills mines and those in Han
cock county and in Union county
were opened very early. The first
recorded output in Kentucky coal was
in 1927 and that antedated the first
output of Ohio just ten years. 1t was
not long after this until the first
mine at Hawesville was being operat-
ed by Captain John Lander with ne
gro slaves, and the coal was hauled
to barges on the river in OK carts, and
much the same industry was COM
menced by Captain Triplett with a
tramway from Bon Harbor hills to
the river. The industry began to grow
rapidly as the steamboats, men began
to learn the superiority of coal over
wood for the purpose of producing
steam. AS late, however, as 1910 the
industry had reached an output of
only 23,5S7 tons. On until the war
there was gradual srowth and then
there was a serious drawback on ac-
count of the belligerency of the
states, though the government gun
boats took large quantities of the
coal for their use. When the war op-
ened in 1861 the output had reached
285,760 tons, but during the years OF
the war it fell off to 1000 tons, and
in 1870, five years after the close OF
the war, it was only 150,582 tons
Since then the growth of coal mining
has been continuous until at present
the output is something over 20,00O,-
600 tdns.-Owensboro Messenger.
