Coal Vein on Hugh Mudd Farm Near Monroe City
A five foot vein of excellent coal lies about nine miles from the city on Hugh Mudd’s farm with only four to five feet of dirt above it. Developments are planned to bring locally sourced coal to Monroe City’s market, creating local jobs in mining and hauling. The same vein is present on other tracts, suggesting broader exploitation should proceed to save money and keep work in the community.
