"Located about a half mile northwest of Rains, Utah in Spring Canyon, the Mutual coal mine was opened in February 1921. It was developed by the Mutual Coal Company. The land was acquired by a state and government lease and from lands formerly leased by the Carbon Fuel Company and the Morton Coal Company. The company was formed by a group of Salt Lake City businessmen. The president and general manager was W. H. Homer, Jr. and the mine superintendent was Albert Shaw. By November, the mine had already produced 63,076 tons of coal."
