Notes
  • Significance: The Birmingham Coal and Iron Company, a locally owned mining and furnace company formed from the Tutwiler Coal, Coak and Iron Company by Morris Adler and his brother Edgar Adlar, opened the Mulga mine about 1907. Louis Bryant, a Kentucky geologist with European training, conducted a study of area coal fields for the Adlers and determined that the thickest part of the Pratt seam was at Mulga. By 1910, Mulga mine employed 230 persons and provided coal to area railroads and the company's Vanderbilt furnaces at East Birmingham. In 1912, the Woodward Iron Company acquired the Mulga mine through purchase of Birmingham Coal and Iron. During the 1910s and 1920s, the mine produced 200-300,000 tons, a sizable tonnage for the period, and employed 300-400 persons. The mine remained a substantial and steady producer through the 1950s and was actively mined in the 1960s. Mulga Mine Company, a Mead Corporation subsidiary, employed 529 at its operation there in 1980. In 1990, this company no longer exists and Mulga mine is not operating.
