Duo Supply

Jewell Ridge
Burley Williams and I have been discussing Jewell Ridge back and forth over the last few months. But....not the Jewell Ridge Virginia mines, the Blair Fork mine in Kentucky.

Stonega Coal Virginia
I was talking with a buddy today about scrip. He said his grandfather worked for Stonega. This made me think of the Stonega scrip at Imboden.
