Garrett County
Coal Production
For Year Increases

The production of coal in Mary
land, confined to Garrett and Allie
gany counties, showed an increase
in 1856 after being in DOWN ard
spiral for nearly ten years.
The 33rd annual report of the
Maryland Bureau Of Mines released
this week reveals that the total
amounted TO 523,9O9 tons as com
pared to 445,895 tons for 1854.
Garrett county mines showed a
strong increase by jumping from
267 40 in 1854 to 324,8O4 tons for
the past year Allegany county pro-
duced 199,1O2 tons, an increase over
the 174,185 for 1854.
The states tonnage fell from l.
648. 487 tons in 194S to 1859 tons
in 1949. That was the year that most
of the big pit operations on the
Georges Greek and in the VindeX-
Kitzmiller area shut down.
OF the 324,SO7 tons mined in 1855
in the county 134,736 were dug in
the mines by machines. Stripping
operations accounted for 123,998
tons while 66.O73 tons were dug by
hand.
Frank T. Powers, Frostburg, di-
rector of the Bureau of Mines To-
Gated at Westernport, noted there
were no fatal accidents in Maryland
coal mines and has been none since
1858.
Some Operations Resume
That coal production was in
creasing, that new mines were be-
ing opened and old ones being
modernized in the county was an
nouriced by Powers.
Powers said the Stanley Coal
company was opening two mines at
Crellin with forty-three miners on
the payroll. At VindeX, the Gar
rett Coal corporation has cleaned
up. painted and expanded its hold
ings at Earl No. mine. Engineers
of the Johnstown Coal and Coke
company are investigating the pos
sibilities of opening up new mines
in its 6,000-acres of coal property
Shallmar is still ghost town but
Powers said miners are driving
from Crellin to work in the Wolf
Den mine.
At VindeX the D and r mine is in
operation while two new mines
have been opened in that vicinity.
On the side of Backbone mountain,
along the road between Kitzmiller
and Vindex, three deep mines have
been started.
Big Operation Sighted
But the big news, which Powers
said had to remain confidential for
a while, is that there are two major
coal concerns in the area consider
ing operations in the county.
