today. A great quality coal has resulted in a sophisticated manner of producing this fuel for "the market. Over one-half million' tons of high quality bituminious illurgical coal.was produced through the new modern Stotesbury coal- preparation plant of Eastern Associated Coal Corp. last year, "we feel this coal is me best in the country," C. 0.

Carmen, mine Suprinteadent noted. nine grandchildren nine great-grandchildren. "Coal mining becoming a of coal cleaning and and producig various sizes for the market," Carmen, said. The Stotesbury plant, however, only produces one size coal, "but top grade," Carmen noted. IN ITS SECOND year of operation, the plant is in the developing stages and according to Carmen, when developed the company hopes to produce one and one-half million tons of coal a year.

Presently some 2,600 tons are mined daily. But 1970 was a year of unrest in the coal fields and many days of operation were lost due to "work stoppages," commonly known as wildcat strikes. Lacy Acord of Becfcley is superintendent for the new mdtimillion dollar operation. The operation of the preparation plant involves the coal joing through two washing cycles. As the coal comes by belt operation from the slope mines nto the "plant it is processed into a Bradford breaker where the large rock is separated and ihe coal goes to the storage 3in until it is ready for the washing cycle.

FROM THE STORAGE bin, the coal comes up into the plant for its cleaning process, passing over a vibrator screen where it is separated to size and then through a washing cycle to rid if of fine particles. After another washing, the coal is then ready for the coal delivery cars, enroute to market, dust free. A water clarifier is a feature of the operation whereby water can be processed through the plant for use over and over for the washing cycles. The dirty water and fine waste from me plant goes into a large concrete tank, 100 feet in diameter, adjacent the plant, where the dirt is allowed to settle into a thick slurry at the bottom Gunterk Bell Ford, Austin Neubet, Mike Lepton, Glendon Gadd, Bill Pritchard.

Coal Arrives From Slope Mines spillage or preventing debris, stream million dollar coal preparation plant is Lacy Acord of Beckley, who watches as the coal arrives on the belt from the slope mines and is ready for cleaning. Eastern also has a new plant in development at Affinity, known as the Affinity Mining Compay and will operate similar to the Stotesbury construction.

This plant expects to use 500 men in mining its coal. The reject coal runs into a small plant system on the mountain overlooking the plant and is hauled by large trucks and is being used to cover a burned out slate dump and fill ifi a According to mine suprintendent, C. 0- Carmen, the reject coal is being placed in such a manner mat it will never burn such as the older dumps and when the hollow is filled in the company plans to plant vegetation and trees making the land useful. 'The area, when fillel in, will be about the size of a small airport," Carmen noted. The Stotesbury coal is -mined in the Pocahontas No.

3 and No. 4 seams and is a slope operation. Three large storage bins, one holding 10,000 tons and two smaller ones holding 2,500 tons coal each are an unique part of the operation. INVOLVED IN the mining are 450 underground workers and 18 men who operate the plant Under development also is a new $100,000 rock dusting operation, which features a 150 ton storage tank, erected adjacent to a large new ventilation fan, from which pipes will be extended into the underground mines to keep a large high pressure Bulk machine filled with rock dust The new development is to comply with the Federal Mine Health and Safety Act Rock dusting is very important part of mining, because it keeps coalj dust gas or dust ignition from spreading and will prevent a general mine explosion. Rock dusting also has other minor advantages such as alumina- tion, Superintendent Carmen noted.
