Hello all, Im a freelance photographer from New Zealand. I moved to the US late last year. I am looking for any information regarding independent mining in West Virginia, if indeed there is such a thing. I am interested in putting together a photo essay on independent miners, and how coal still plays a huge and important role in powering the American economy. If anyone has any information or contacts I would dearly appreciate any help. Many thanks,  Graeme www.graemejennings.blogspot.comwww.graemejennings.net |

One of our members lives in WV, he's gone back to school at present, so doesn't drop by much these days.

I'm still here John, just not as much as I used to. To answer the question, what do you mean by independent mines. If you mean not affiliated with a large company then yes there are alot. But, if you mean the "bootleg" mines that are in eastern P.A. then I don't know. The mines I am speaking of are the Anthracite mines that are operating without a permit.
