Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cooperative Coal Mining Series: Coal Resources of District II (Jackson County) District II of the Illinois Coal Mining Investigations includes that part Of Jackson County (fig. 1) underlain by coal No. 2 (murphys boro coal). This district, the smallest in the State, has the distinction Of furnishing coal of highest calorific value for Illinois; as the area underlain by workable coal is restricted there are but few mines, so that the production from District II is comparatively small. A total output from 6 shipping mines for' the year ending June, 1916, was tons. The northeastern part Of Jackson County is underlain also by two other beds Of coal, no. 5 or Harrisburg and no. 6 or Herrin, the upper one of which is being mined at a number of places; but both are of commercial value.
