The damage to the cabin up the Lone Pine area which was <br />damaged by the long wall being moved and the cabin moving and <br />causing damage to the structure. The attempt by West Elk Mine to <br />repair has now cracked and did not fix the problem. It appears <br />that it has still subsided more than the mining Company expected. <br />The repairs even have cracked. <br />2. The road that is up the Lone Pine area above the fan <br />site was repaired by the Mautz' not by the mine. <br />3. The Yefuse pile which was placed on our property, was <br />done with out our permission. This has now bees fenced by West <br />Elk. <br />These are just a few of the problems that Mountain Coal Company, <br />West Elk Hine, has not resolved with us. i do know that Wast Elk <br />Mine will take the line that they did not cause the damage or <br />that .the damage was taken care of, but I guess that I feel that <br />they, have sledded us one more time. We have not bean <br />unreasonable to west Elk Coal, but have asked them to treat us as <br />they would. like to be treated. This has not happened. We <br />receive letters back to us about how we want things that they <br />have not intent of pay for or fixing. If this is the way that <br />they treat one another then I guess that i doa!t want to be <br />involved with. them. They can play hard ball or just be fair and <br />do what is right and correct. <br />T :53 <br />David, I am sorry to have to bring these problem before you <br />a sin, but I do feel that Mountain Coal Company, West Hlk Coal, <br />h~s not resolved these problems with us. If you can help, please <br />
