Fayette Drops In Standing On Coal Output During 1945
The Associated Press reports expansion of strip mining in 1945 raised Harrison County output to 12,744,276 tons, moving the county from fifth to fourth in the state and surpassing Fayette. State total coal production across domestic, strip, and commercial mines reached 151,909,714 tons, down from 164,954,191 the prior year due to labor shortages and strikes impacting commercial mines. McDowell, Logan, and Raleigh counties remain top producers.
