Old Ben No 21 Opens New Franklin County Coal Mine
New Old Ben No 21 coal mine in Lesser Illinois begins limited production with 120 workers and aims for 300 by 1962. Machines cut 7 by 13 foot tunnels, replace timbering, and push daily output toward 10 000 tons with 3 000 000 tons yearly goal. The operation promises cheaper southern Illinois coal for steel mills and spans 6 000 miles of future underground tunnels over 40 years.
