Evaluation of different methods of pillar recovery in coal mining …
The room-and-pillar technique is a self-supporting mining method in which part of the ore is left unmined as pillars. To increase the mining efficiency, the pillars are later recovered partially or completely. This research aims at evaluating and comparing four methods of pillar recovery, namely, 'pocket and wing', 'open ending', 'split and fender', and 'Christmas tree' …

History of Longwall Coal Mining In Illinois
The use of the term longwall, long-wall or long wall in Illinois was used by the earliest mine inspectors in their reports to the Governor. The First Biennial Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of Illinois (1881) contains "Coal Mine Inspectors' Returns" to the Governor of Illinois for the years 1879 and 1880.
