There are 75 miners without a job as of Wednesday after a Raleigh County mine suddenly shut down.
A spokesperson said Peachtree Ridge Mining notified MSHA yesterday about closing the Eagle Number One Mine.
State inspectors have issued 75 citations against the mine in the first half of this year. MSHA has also warned the company it may face sanctions for being a repeat offender.

You know, it's amazing to me that these people are able to still obtain business licenses! The men finally were paid 1/2 today of what is owed, but they had to wait hours for anyone who would cash them, because every local bank was trying to get through to their bank making sure the money was there! RIDICULOUS!

This same owner pulled the same tricks over at the old Ranger No. 2 in 2004. He couldn't even pay the the electricity bill to keep the fan running but he lived in a mansion in California. Unemployment wasnt payed either. The coal business is not bad and all the coal could be shipped. Guess he had to go buy a yacht or something.
