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 refuse pile which was placed on our property, was <br />done with out our permission. This has now been fenced by West <br />Elk. <br />These are just a few of the problems that Mountain Coai Company, <br />West Elk Mfne., has not resolved with us. I do know that West 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 been <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 don't want to be <br />invoived with. them. They can play hard ball or just be Pair and <br />do what is right and correct. <br />David, I am sorry to have to bring these problem before you <br />agqain, but I do feel that Mountain Coal Company, West Slk Coal, <br />itllB not resolved these problems with us. If you can help, please <br />
