Coal Facts in West Vi irginia In 1742 John Peter Salley, while on an exploration trip from Augusta county, Virginia, discovered an outcrop of coal on Coal river in Boone county. In 1770, George Washington, on a journey down the Ohio river, records in his diary the discovery of coal in Mason county. West Virginia has more extensive deposits of coal than any state east of the Mississippi river, except Illinois. Geologists estimate a reserve of 1 17,000,- 000,000 tons. The area of West Virginia is 24,497 square miles, of which 17,270 square miles is underlaid with coal. Since 1931 West Virginia has led all other Ameri- can states in the production of coal, producing 25% of the nation ' s tonnage. West Virginia produces both high and low volatile coals of finest quality. The low volatile coals, com- monly known as smokeless, are mined in the southern tier of counties. The high volatile coals are produced in southern, central and northern West Virginia. Coal gives employment to more than 1 00,000 men annually in West Virginia. In 1937 their average wage was $1 ,3 5. Coal is produced in commercial quantities in 36 counties, but there are coal reserves in 45 of the 55 counties of the state.
