The Arst mention of coal In the ter.
ritory which afterward became the
United States has heretofore been cred.
credited to Father Louis Hennepin,
who showed on II map published In
1859 the location OF n cole mine" along
Illinois river near the site Of the pres
ent city of Ottawa. According to s. o.
Andres OF the Illinois state geological
survey, The credit for this first mention
of coal does not belong to Hennepin,
us the discovery of coal in the United
States by Europeans was made by
Joliet and Marquette In 1878. How
ever, nearly century and half
elapsed after the discovery of coal in
Illinois before mining began. The
Journal OF the Franklin institute for
1896 states that the first mining OPP
eratlons conducted by white men were
at the Mount Carbon mines, In jack
son county, III. These mines were
opened in 1910 and worked to small
extent for many years. The earliest
recorded production was in 1888, when
5000 tons of coal is said to have been
mined, Detroit Free Press.
