mechanically loaded coal increased to 98 percent, 2 percent more than in
1966. Of the total mechanically loaded, 45 percent was by 770 mobile loading
machines, 42 less than in 1966. Of the total loading machines, 633 loaded
into shuttle cars, and 137 into mine cars or on to conveyors. Continuous
mining machines produced 70.8 million tons, equal to 53 percent of the coal
mechanically loaded. Of the 561 continuous mining machines in use (24 fewer
than in 1966), 367 loaded into shuttle cars, and 127 onto conveyors. An additional
151 mobile loaders were used in conjunction with continuous miners. Of the
remainder of the mechanically loaded tonnage, 1.2 percent, was loaded by
duckbills and hand-loaded face conveyors. 
In 1967, 153 cleaning plants, eight fewer than in 1966, cleaned 79.2 percent

1966. Of this amount, 30 percent was cleaned by jigs, 64 percent by wet washing,
and 6 percent by pneumatic methods. Of the total output, 35 percent was crushed,
29 percent was dried in 55 thermal drying plants, and 12 percent was treated
for dust control. Of the total treated for dust control, 91 percent was with
oil, 3 percent with calcium chloride and oil, and the balance with calcium
chloride and with other materials. 
Of the total production, 97 percent was transported by rail and water and
the remainder by truck and other methods.
