    The document is an introduction from the "From the Mines" editor of the LaFollette Press about a feature they put together on coal mining in Campbell County. Over three months, the staff worked to learn about the role of coal mining through visiting mines and speaking to miners. They found that mining was both as expected and unexpected, as the mines were dark but safer than assumed due to regulations. The editor thanks readers and hopes they enjoy what was found about the lives of local miners.

    FROM
    the
    MINES

    COME ALL
    YO U C OA L
    MINERS

    oal mining is exactly what youd expect


    and the exact opposite of what youd
    expect. For the last three months, the
    LaFollette Press staff has worked to
    assemble all the puzzle pieces to tell a cohesive
    story about the role coal mining plays in Campbell
    County. We found the mines to be dark and somewhat cramped, but infinitely safer than one might
    think. We learned about regulations, rules and
    laws that keep the miners from harm, and we
    heard about companies that go above and beyond
    the required work to keep their workers safe. We
    spent an entire morning with a mining crew at
    their office deep underground, watching them
    mine coal. Were so thankful for the peek into the
    lives of local miners, and we hope our readers
    enjoy what we found.
