Ninety-Fourth Annual Meeting Mt. Vernon, Illinois Thursday and Friday, October 16-17, 1986
OPENING SESSION The opening session of (he 94th Annual Meeting of the Illinois Mining Institute was convened at 2:00 P.M., Thursday, October 16, 1986 in the ballroom in the Rainada Inn. David Beerbower, President of the Institute, presided.
President Beerbower: I call to order this 94th meeting of the Illinois Mining Institute. My name is Dave Beerbower, and I'm with Freeman United Coal Mining Company. It has been my pleasure this year to serve as your President. I must admit it has been a little hectic because of the move from Springfield, but I am pleased to tell you that with the cooperation and the work of many members of this Institute, it has been a very easy move for us. It has been a lot of work, but I think we will sec the results in the meeting to day and tomorrow with increased attendance. The whole purpose of the Insti tute is to reach out to the members of the mining community in Illinois and elsewhere, and so last year the decision was made by the Board of Directors to move the Institute meeting to a more central location, near the operating coal fields. I think this year will show that we have been able to reach out to people who perhaps have never been able to attend a meeting before and to give them a chance to know some other people in the mining industry. I think if we achieve those goals we can conclude that this meeting was a success. We could not have had this meeting without Heinz Dambcrgcr's support and the sup port of all the committees. Yes, I have the title of President, but I want to assure you that nothing could have been done if we had not had that support from those members. We look forward to today's session and particularly lo tonight's dinner- dance. We also look forward to tomorrow's business meeting and then the luncheon in which we have Dave Zegeer, who will be here to speak to us. Tomorrow morning there is going to be a panel discussion, which I think will prove to be very interesting. What I would like to do now is turn over the Technical Session to Ron Morse, who is the chairman. Thank you.
TECHNICAL SESSION Ron Morse: Again, good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. If you have a question or you want to make a comment to any of the gentlemen who will be speaking, please make an effort to come to the middle of the room so the ac-
13 14 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE tivities can be recorded. I am going to get to our first speaker, who is Mr. Paul Lang. Paul is a Senior Planning Engineer for Arch of Illinois in Percy. He has a B.S. in mining engineering from the University of Missouri in Rolla, and his paper is entitled "The Development and Utilization of Computerized Mine Planning at Arch Minerals Captain Mine". With that, please welcome Paul Lang. THE DEVELOPMENT AND UTILIZATION OF COMPUTERIZED MINE PLANNING AT ARCH MINERAL'S CAPTAIN MINE
PAUL A. LANG Senior Planning Engineer Areli of Illinois, Inc. Percy, Illinois
INTRODUCTION Arch Mineral's Captain Complex is a fairly unique operation for the Illi nois Basin in both its size and the variety of equipment employed. The divi sion itself is composed of three active surface mines which include: • Captain Mine • Horse Creek No. 1 Mine • Denmark Mine (formerly Amax's Leahy Mine) There is one underground operation called the Kathleen Mine, which is run by an independent contractor. Production for the Division should top 9 MM tons this fiscal year. Within the next fifteen years, there are plans to open two additional surface mines of greater than 1 MM tons per year capacity as well as plans for the expansion of underground operations. The Captain Complex has eleven major pieces of stripping equipment currently in opera tion and include: • Marion 6360 Shovel, 180 cu. yd. Bucket • Marion 5900 Shovel, 105 cu. yd. Bucket • Bucyrus Erie 5872 Cross Pit Wheel (712' reach) In addition to the eleven major pieces ofequipment, there arc four small draglines used in various utility operations. All of the surface operations strip either the: • Danville (No. 7) Coal • Herrin (No. 6) Coal • Springfield (No. 5) Coal There is in excess of 150 MM tons of reserves left in the immediate area, and all produced coal is sold under long-term sales contracts to utilities in the eastern United States. In January of 1984, a project was undertaken to further expand the utilization of the computer in the mining operation. Although the computer had been in use at the site since 1979, its application was basically limited to the recordkeeping involved in excavator delay statistics, production and royalty forecasting, and some general uses in mine planning. Due to the wide variety of equipment and the diversity of the remaining uncommitted reserves, the primary goal of the project was the general upgrading of mine planning and production forecasting process to better match fields and machines.
15 16 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE
At the start of the project in early 1984, Arch Mineral was relatively new to the utilization of computerized mine planning. Members of the corporate engineering staff, had however, developed a series of relatively sophisticated programs to simulate dragline mining in the Illinois Basin. What made these programs unique were that they were not only capable of calculating accurate volumetrics but that they could be used to project, rehandle, and estimate the machine sequence through the pit. The key to the operation of these programs was their ability to access a geological model of the area being investigated and perform not only end area volumetrics but apply logic and a mining sequence to serve as an evaluation tool. Hence, the initial efforts of the project involved the creation of these geological models.
GEOLOGICAL MODELS A geological model is nothing more than a mathematical representation of a portion of the earth. The general idea behind them is to take something such as an irregular spaced exploration drill pattern and simplify it by inter polating a more regular spacing of data. The process of doing this is called gridding. A geological model takes this operation one step further in that it takes a scries of these grids and combines them in a single file so that for a given X and Y value in a plane, a series of Z values can be derived that define the geology. Early on in our use of geological models there were only a few ways to create grids. One was to manually calculate each grid node by hand and have the information key punched. This is a particularly time consuming project considering that a model of relatively large field would contain 50 to 90,000 mesh points per grid and a model would generally contain eight grids to define only the geology. Another method is to have a computer program in terpolate the values based on a pre-set mathematical criterion. Early in 1984, there was an in-house method developed to take the raw drill data and create grids. However, the process was fairly involved and time consuming. It was at this point that several decisions were made. The first decision was that it would be more cost effective and timely to go outside the company rather than pursue an in-house development of a gridding and contouring system. This was followed by the realization that the current computer hardware would have to be replaced by a system that had a greater amount of available software and that was capable of the anticipated increase in usage.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SELECTION The selection of computer hardware and software can be one of the most controversial subjects to be addressed when initiating a new system. Our selection of a computer system was further complicated by the need to replace not only the engineering system but, due to the expansion that the company COMPUTERIZED MINE PLANNING 17 was experiencing, the accounting system's computer also required upgrading. Making the long debate short, it was decided that no single system was best for both the engineering and accounting applications and separate systems were purchased. In the end, Digital Equipments VAX 11/785 System was purchased and a software package was selected. To make the system useable at the mine level, there was a large investment in peripheral equipment. Each major operation or division received: • Pen Plotter • Digitizing Table • Graphics Terminal with CAD/CAM Software
EXPANSION OF USAGE By the fall of 1985, which was approximately eighteen months from the beginning of the project, all of the hardware and software was in place, and usage of the system was increasing rapidly. As usage increased, so did the areas where the computer was being relied upon. Some areas of significant usage in addition to long-term production forecasting were: • Daily Quality Forecasting • Reclamation Planning • Short-term Production Forecasting
QUALITY FORECASTING The inclusion of quality data within the geological model was an early addition when the process ofgridding became easier. However, the utilization was limited to general long-term forecasting. In the spring of 1985 and later in the spring of 1986, Captain experienced a series of conflicts with customers regarding received quality. In an effort to gain greater control over the produced product, a means was needed to better forecast shipped quality on a daily basis. The project was a fair undertaking considering that the Captain Preparation Plant handled coal from four active pits (mining three seams) and an underground mine and in turn shipped to four customers with distinct quality criteria. To handle this, a program was developed which allowed a technician to enter the loading areas for the day and forecast the blended quality that was to be sent through the plant. This not only presented operations with the in formation to adjust blending but allowed the plant to consider which customer is to receive a product. As time progressed, the models took on several new dimensions. Not on lyare the ash, sulfur, and BTU predictedon a daily basis, but the models have been adapted to forecast the ash fusion temperature and grind of the product with further provision set for equilibrium moisture. Along with this, quality parameters of eachcustomerwere builtin to provide an immediate indication of an area that was not within contractual limits on a particular contract. 18 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE
RECLAMATION PLANNING
Computer utilization has taken some rather large advances in reclama tion planning by the inclusion of not only data from geological models but in formation produced by aerial photography. Starting in 1983, Arch's Illinois operations began a monthly program whereby an aerial photography com pany would cross-section each active pit and spoil area every one hundred feet along the axis of the pit to provide pit advance and reclamation information. These data were supplied via a magnetic tape containing the various X-Y-Z values. The information was then loaded on the system and used in a number of ways. Primarily, the values could be plotted so as to design boxcut reclamation plans and project volumes. Later, a means was developed so that the raw data could be taken and gridded to produce monthly topographic maps of the highwall, pit, and spoils. These data could then be combined with other months data or the initial digital terrain models of the surface to provide timely mapping. These maps and cross-sections could in turn be used not only for reclamation planning but for pit operation and drainage.
SHORT-TERM PRODUCTION FORECASTING One of the most disappointing areas with which computer utilitzation was attempted was short-term production forecasting. An example of what was attempted is Captain's Pit No. 2. This pit is one of the most complex operations in the area, it is currently employing: 1 Marion 6360 Shovel 1 P&H 5700 Shovel 1 BE 5872 Cross Pit Wheel Excavator 2 O&K 1363 Bucket Wheel Excavators 1 BE 770 Dragline 3 Coal Loaders 4 Overburden/1nterburden Drills Sequencing in this pit is by far one of the most critical items facing operations. Early on, some outside software packages wereexamined to help in sequencing and production forecasting on a short-term basis. Based on these experiences, an in-house program was written to schedule the shovels and wheels, and then the program was dropped. It became apparent that although certain portions of the task had computer applications, the overall process was simpler to control when done manually. This basic thought was carried foreward, and in general it was found that all mine planning and forecasting to be done within about a three month period for an active pit was moreaccurate when done manually. The reason for this was not the ability to calculate the virgin volumetrics from a model, but it was the problem associated with factoring the various anomalies, such as excess road material placed on a bench by a dragline — the impact of which might cause a large swing in rehandling for a given month. However, when spread over a large time period, it would have a minimal effect. COMPUTERIZED MINE PLANNING 19
CONCLUSION
In summary, I believe from its beginning thirty months ago, Arch Mineral has shown that a tremendous amount of ground can be made up in the utilization of computers. Based on experiences in other types of mining and conditions in areas such as Wyoming and West Virginia, it is evident that the Illinois Basin is one of the most ideal areas for applying computerized mine planning due to the relative uniform nature of its geology and topography. We have found a great deal of success in using the computer for creating geological models to be used in: • Long-Term Mine Planning • Quality Forecasting • Simple Volumetrics In addition to this. Arch has probably taken the lead in the monthly utilization of aerial photography data. Of greatest disappointment has been the ability to use the computer to accurately forecast production from an ac tive pit on a short-term basis.
Ron Morse: Thank you very much, Paul. Our next speaker comes to us from the Illinois State Geological Survey. Morris Leighton was educated at the University of Illinois in 1947 with a B.S. in chemistry. In 1948 he got his Master's in geology, and in 1951 his Ph.D. in geology, both from the University of Chicago. After his formal education, he served for 31 years with Exxon Corporation and following that tenure, he currentlyisChief ofthe Illinois State Geological Survey, succeeding Bob Bergstrom who retiredin 1983. He followed in his father's footsteps as Chief of the Survey, who retired after 31 years with the Survey. Dr. Morris Leighton has served as Chairman of the Institutional Advisory Board, Center for Research on Sulfur in Coal from 1983-1985. He is presently a Board member of the Association for Research on Sulfur in Coal and a member of the Program Committee advising the Center for Research on Sulfur in Coal. With that, please welcome Dr. Morris Leighton. Coal Research at the Illinois State Geological Survey

INTRODUCTION The coal research program at the Illinois State Geological Survey is shaped by present and future needs. We try to identify these needs through analysis of the outlook for coal and the pressures on the coal industry, and by seeking counsel of representatives of the private and public sectors. Identified needs guide our research program and service efforts.
ILLINOIS COAL TODAY The Illinois Basin coal field (fig. 1), which is shared by Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky, is a national resource. In 1985, some 44 percent of the produc tion of 131.5 million tons in the Basin was consumed outside the Basin. The market for Illinois Basin coal extends over 17 states, to as far away as Florida (fig. 2). A comparison with 1975 figures shows that Illinois Basin coal has in creased its share of utility coal markets in the southern states and lost shares in northern states. Overall, the Illinois Basin coal market has held at about the same level for the past 10 years with Illinois providing about 45 percent, Indiana 25 percent, and western Kentucky 30 percent. In Illinois, the annual value of coal produced was almost SI.8 billion, more than double the value of the State's next most valuable mineral resource - oil. The Survey has identified about 181 billion tons of coal resources in the ground of which about 50 billion tons are considered minable given present technology and market conditions. Illinois ranks first in the nation in bituminous coal reserves; but only 5th in terms of tons and Btu's produced. The State's production has stagnated around 60 million tons per year for the past two decades, while national production increased significantly.
SOME NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE According to Chevron's "World Energy Outlook" (June 1986), the United States is the largest consumerofcoal, accounting for 17-18percent of the world's total coal consumption in 1985. The United States is expected to increase its use of coal at an annual rate of 2.2 percent through the end of the century. A particularly rapid growth rate — 6 percent annually — is indicated for southern and eastern Asia; by the year 2000, this region's share of the world market is projected to increase from 11 to 18 percent. The major con sumers are India and Japan, and as in the U.S., electricity generation is the

Korea and Taiwan have rapidly expanding steel industries, in addition to coal-fired thermal electric generation plants. In the U.S., the share of coal in the energy market is expected to grow from 22 to 27 percent by the year 2000, while the shares ofoil and ofgas drop from 42 to 39 percent and from 23 to 19 percent respectively (fig. 3). The ques tion is, "What part of the growth in consumption can Illinois coal capture?" The coal-based electric generating capacity is expected to increase from 56 to 58 percent by the year 2000. Many electric utilities will have surplus generating capacity over the next few years as new coal and nuclear units come on line and competition with industrial cogcnerators and Canadian im ports grows. Currently, overall overcapacity is in the 25 to 35 percent range. But by the mid 1990s, increased electric use should eliminate this overcapacity.

MAJOR PRESSURES ON ILLINOIS' COAL INDUSTRY A number of pressures arc working against the continued growth ofcoal production, pressures that especially affect Illinois coal. Legislation to con trol and reduce sulfur dioxide emission in the atmosphere is one pressure. While total U.S. emissions ofSO: fell 6.9 percent per year from the mid 1970s to the early 1980s, they still are at high levels (fig. 4). Fuel combustion ac counts for the largest part of SO: emissions, and Illinois' high-sulfur coal contributes significantly to this part. Unfortunately, the Survey's washability COAL RESEARCH 23

NATIONAL TREND IN EMISSIONS OF SULFUR OXIDES
Fig. 4 — National trends in emissions of sulfur oxides. After US EPA National Air Quality and Emission Trends Report 1984 studies have shown that only a few areas in the State are capable of producing compliance-quality coal (1.2 lbs SO2/106Btu). For the Herrin (No. 6) Coal, these areas are located along the ancient Pennsylvanian Walshvillc River in southern Illinois (fig. 5). And while opportunities for finding other low-sulfur coals exist along this and similar ancient rivers, generally, their sulfur content, though lower than in most areas, is not low enough to reach compliance- quality level. Table 1 compares the sulfur content of Illinois coals with western coals that were delivered to markets in Illinois and Missouri. The significantly lower sulfur content of western coals has made them attractive alternatives to other SO. control measures.

Illinois Basin Coal Sample Program (IBCSP) The Illinois State Geological Survey maintains a coal sample bank, under contract with the Center for Research on Sulfur in Coal (CRSC) under direction of the Coal Development Board (CDB) (fig. 7). The Survey collects, prepares, analyzes, and maintains standard reference samples of coals. The sample bank meets the need for uniform, fresh, unoxidized samples. Samples up to 20 pounds (or more) can be supplied to investigators in the State and elsewhere. The samples are stored in 20-pound bags that are sealed in 55-gallon drums. The drums are kept full of nitrogen to minimize oxidation. To date, about 150 investigators at more than 50 institutions have used IBC SP. The bank has 5 samples from 3 different coal seams; Indiana soon will add another sample. The samples are fully characterized and provide a com mon base for scientists, which reduces duplicate testing and provides a stan dard for easier comparison of test results.

Coal Characterization The Survey's laboratories are well equipped to run all standard chemcial, physical, mineralogical, and petrographic analyses of coal and any products resulting from the various desulfurization processes (table 5). Knowing just how sulfur occurs in coals at various stages ofa process is vital to developing methods specifically tailored to remove it. COAL RESEARCH 29

Through the Governor's "Build Illinois" program and support of CRSC, our laboratories have been modernized substantially in recent years. Recent equipment additions include a LECO Mae-400 Proximate Analyzer for moisture, ash, and volatile measurements; a LECO CHN-600 Ultimate Analyzer for carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen determinations; a Shimadzu UV-VIS Spectrophotometer for measuring sulfur levels in chars; a Perkin Elmer Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer for determining pyritic iron; a Perkin Elmer 8500 gas chromatograph to measure components in gases evolved during desulfurization; and ancillary equipment. Coal and process products are also being analyzed with new X-ray fluorescence (minor and trace elements) and X-ray diffraction (minerals) units. A thermal analysis laboratory was added in 1983. A thcrmogravimeter provides fundamental engineering data on rales of reactions, e.g., the weight loss with lime during heating or rates of reaction. The agglomeration proper- tics of Illinois coals during thermal processing are also studied. The microscope reveals thai coal is composed of a complex mixture of plant-derived macerals and of mineral impurities, iron sulfides, silicates, and other minerals (fig. 8). When sliced very thinly, coal is no longer the black chunk of material we have come to know. Instead, in transmitted light, there are colorful reddish-brown bands of vitrinite, which is the main coal maceral; yellow bands of liptinite, composed of hydrogen-rich spores and cuticles; and black lenses of inertinitc, mostly fusinitc. The white specks in figure 16 are mineral impurities, mainly quartz, that contribute to the ash content. Some of the black specks with a rectilinear outline are grains of pyrite, an iron sulfide. At still greater magnifications using a scanning electron microscope, we begin to see the finely disseminated nature of pyrite and clays in coal (fig. 9). Our microscopic studies tell us that such pyrite carries most of the in organic form of sulfur, and that it occurs in such finely divided form that fine grinding is necessary if mechanical beneficiation is to be successful in remov ing this form of sulfur. Our researchers developed a pyrite clcanability index that can be used to predict the sulfur content in float-sink fractions of varying density. Work with the microscope is proving useful in following the process ing steps of the Survey's new aggregate notation method, telling us what is and isn't being removed by this process at various steps along the way and 30 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE

helping to refine the processing needed to obtain a salable product. The ag gregate notation process is one of several research avenues currently being followed by the Survey in efforts to find economical ways of removing sulfur from coal. The several processes under investigation for removing sulfur from coal include: aggregate notation, charring, CO/cthanol, and microbial degradation.
The Aggregate Flotation (AF) Method This is a mechanical beneficiation process to remove sulfur and improve coal quality. In this process, a conditioner, such as kerosene, and an appro priate surfactant are added to finely pulverized coal. Air bubbles are passed CO/1/. RE SEARCH 31
Fig. 9 — A scanning electron microphotograph of coal (530 X). through the mixture to collect the lighter, less dense coal. The product is then skimmed off, leaving a heavier, pyritc-laden debris and ash-forming minerals behind. Aggregate flotation, like froth flotation, uses chemical modifiers to collect coal on air bubbles in the kinds of flotation cells familiar to the in dustry. Two years of efforts at selecting proper surfactants and operating parameters have paid off, and we arc now scaling up operations to handle 20 pounds of coal per hour in a continuous-flow unit. After normal debugging, several successful tests have been run. In 1985-86, AF development concentrated on optimizing the process by studying such chemical and physical factors as reagents, kinetics, bubble size, oxidation effects, and grinding. The preliminary results of AF on Illinois coals show striking results. In a batch test for a feed coal from the Springfield seam, the process yielded a coal concentrate amounting to 55 percent of the original feed coal (table 6).

Btu recovery was 84 percent, and the Btu value increased from 8,511 Btu/lb in the feed coal to 12,871 Btu/lb in the concentrate. Ash and pyrite rejection were both 88 percent. Similar results have been obtained with a continuous- flow unit. During testing of the unit, 90 percent of heating value were recovered while rejecting over 80 percent of the ash and pyrite. The tailings from the process have high concentrations of finely divided material in between the gray Hakes of vitrinite (coal) particles (fig. 10a). The interstitial debris is composed of ash-forming minerals. The contrast between the debris and the clean concentrate of coal particles (gray vitrinite particles) is striking (fig. 10b). During 1987, we plan to start a pilot test for the recovery of fine coal from a cleaning plant reject. This process appears economically attractive. If scale-up operations are successful, the process should be directly applicable in utilizing coal fines produced by modern mining methods that cannot be easily recovered by conventional cleaning methods. For all its good features, AF like all physical cleaning methods, does not reduce the organic sulfur in coal. However, removal of the pyrite sulfur alone brings significant benefits: (1) using coal with no pyrite sulfur allowsa utility to reduce the size of the scrubber it may have to add; (2) using coal with low pyrite sulfur improves the operating efficiency and economics of flue gas COAL RESEARCH 33 scrubbers; and (3) such coals, even though not of compliance quality may help Illinois coal be more competitive ir further SO: emission reductions are mandated by acid rain legislation.
Charring Processes Charring processesarc other methods of sulfur removal under investiga tion at the Illinois State Geological Survey. In these processes, the coal is heated to form a high-Btu char and then the sulfur in the remaining char is removed cither chemically or physically. A new technique developed by our researchers has made it possible to find out what happens during the charring process. The sulfur isotopes, sulfur-34 and sulfur-32, are used to "fingerprint" the organic and inorganic forms of sulfur and trace their removal during heating. Using this technique, the researchers have discovered that up to a temperature of 500°C only the organic sulfur is removed; above 500°C, pyr- rhotite is formed. When oxygen (just a trace) is then introduced into the system, the pyrrhotite becomes magnetic. It can then be removed by a magnet. These findings suggest that a two-step process of sulfur removal for some coals may be feasible: 1) heating the coal to temperatures of around 500°C, which both removes the organic sulfur and, when oxygen is intro duced, converts the pyritic sulfur to a magnetic form and 2) then removing the pyritic sulfur magnetically. When coal is charred in fiuidized bed reactors, a char-like solid, a tar- like fraction, and burnable gases result. All three products must undergo fur ther desulfurization, and we are studying how the iron-containing minerals in eastern shales can be used to capture the sulfur during hydrodesulfurization of the char. Since we have now discovered how to convert pyrrhotite to a magnetic form so that it can be removed by a magnet, engineering schemes are now being developed to use iron compounds both as catalysts and sulfur scavengers and then remove them at the proper time by magnetic separation.
CO/Elhanot Process For 10 years the Illinois State Geological Survey and Southern Illinois University in Carbondale have worked together to develop this process (fig. 11). Pyrite is first converted to a catalyst to remove the organic sulfur. Carbon monoxide is added to the pyrite at a low temperature, converting it to troilite and releasing earbonyl sulfide as a by-product. Ethanol is then added. With the troilite acting as a catalyst for the removal of organic sulfur, the reaction yields hydrogen sulfide and acctyaldehyde. After the organic sulfur is removed, oxygen is introduced into the system to convert troilite to a magnetic form of pyrrhotite for the magnetic separation step shown at the bottom of figure II. In the laboratory, this process has yielded (from raw coal with 3 to 5 percent sulfur contents) a solid fuel with less than 0.2 percent total sulfur after the catalyst is removed (table 7). 34 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE

The solid fuel product may pass as coal as far as its burning characteristics are concerned. Our researchers are presently designing a continuous-flow reactor in a planned scale-up of the operation to demonstrate the chemical process. The current projection for the cost of this fuel is $40 to $60 per ton when taking credit for such by-products as carbonyl sulfide, acetaldehyde, oil, fuel gas, H2S, and elemental sulfur. The process uses yet another Illinois resource in plentiful supply, corn, as a source of the ethanol. Recognizing the possible impact of this process, the Illinois Corn Growers Association and the Illinois Corn Marketing Board arc contributing financial support to this effort. Microbial Degradation of Sulfur Another method of sulfur removal wehave been investigating is the useof bacteria. Two strains of bacteria have been employed to date: thiobacillus and sulfolubus. Sulfolubus did not improve sulfur removal. However, in experi ments using thiobacillus, up to 91 percent of the pyritic sulfur was removed. At a temperature of 30°C, the degradation of the sulfur took 27 days. The longer reaction times for the process arc discouraging. COAL RESEARCH 35 Table 7.

To produce these quantities, Survey engineers recently delivered one ton of coal to a one-of-a-kind pyrolysis plant in Virginia. In this effort we are cooperating with the Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Illinois. Coals will be burned at three levels of devolatilization to learn whether the combustion characteristics of volatile matter can be predicted and controlled for specific combustion applications. Chlorine in Coal Other coal quality research efforts include a program for determining the occurrence and removability of other deleterious elements of coal, such as chlorine (CI). This element causes corrosion in boilers and flue gas desulfurization systems and in coal-handling equipment. We have mapped the distribution of CI in the Illinois Basin and have found that it increases with depth (fig. 12).Coals in the deep part of the Basincontain up to 0.6 per cent CI. We have also found that chlorine is closely associated with vitrain and has an inverse relationship to the amount of ash (fig. 13). Experiments have also been conducted on the removal ofCI which indicate that nearly all of the CI in coal is removed when finely ground coal is leached with hot water (93 °C) or soaked with water at room temperature for several days and then 36 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE CHLORINE concentMlion.

The CI appears to be bound loosely with the organic matter in the vitrinite micropores — a surface adsorption phenomena. The sodium con tent, however is directly proportionate to the clay content. Support from Outside Sources Much of the Survey's work on sulfur in coal and on coal quality has been or is being funded by CRSC via the actions of the Illinois Coal Development Board. Contract awards through FY87 in support of the Survey's activities have amounted to nearly S2.5M, including work also supported by the Illinois Coal Association's Coal Industry Committee. Outside agencies have contrib uted an additional S315,000 in support of the Survey's coal research efforts. Sulfur Removal/Coal Quality Summary The Geological Survey is working to improve traditional technologies for sulfur removal and coal quality while developing new technologies for producing ultraclean coal for the future. The technologies include aggregate flotation (AF), a physical beneficiation process; charring, a thermal process; CO/Ethanol treatment, a chemical process; microbial cleaning; and other coal-cleaning approaches. While a final solution for sulfur removal has not 38 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE been found, significant advances in our understanding and capabilities have been realized in all of these research areas, and two areas are being scaled up — the AF and CO/Ethanol processes. We have a vision of a superior fuel produced in the State of Illinois, one that will have value-added as a result of Illinois processing — a clean coal product, highly competitive with other coals. This is our goal. IMPROVING COAL ECONOMICS Coal Resources and Geological Mapping Major factors in the cost of coal arc location of coal resources, the thickness of coal seams, the thickness of overburden, and the quality of the coal. Mapping coal resources provides the answers to the questions of: Where? How thick? How good? How minable? — the starting point of economic considerations. Over the years the Survey has routinely mapped the State's coal resources. Survey scientists have identified 181 billion tons of coal resources, distributed over 32 separate coal seams. Most coal resources lie deeper than 150 feet (deep minable). Almost 5 billion tons have already been mined. An equal amount has been rendered unminable. The Survey has mapped the major seams throughout the State and is continuing its efforts to update this vital resource data base. Statewide maps illustrating coal thickness, mined-out areas, relationships to oil and gas fields, and areas eroded along ancient river systems of the known coal seams were published in 1984. (The printing ofthis scries of maps was partially supported by the Illinois Coal Association.) Recently the Survey embarked on a detailed geological mapping program in southern Illinois (fig. 14) with the support of the U.S. Geological Survey under their Cooperative Geological Mapping Program (COGEOMAP). The first three 7.5-minute geologic quadrangles — Rudemcnt, Equality, and Shawneelown — have been released and additional quadrangles will be pub lished on a regular basis in future years. These maps provide much detailed information on the nature of the lower Pennsylvanian coal-bearing strata in the region, including coal crop lines, thicknesses, and structure. The new coal crop lines are great improvements over those shown on less detailed regional maps from back in the 1950s; also, previously unknown coals and their crop lines were mapped. Customized Maps Customized maps in which features selected by the map user are displayed at an appropriate scale have now become possible through the use of com puters and the Department of Energy and Natural Resources' Geographic In formation System. We are actively transferring maps and files into a COAL RESEARCH 39 R Rutlement EQ Equality S Shawneetown CS Creal Springs ED Eddyville W Waltersburg P-iT| complete ISGS 198 Fig, 14 — Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (COGEOMAP) between the U.S. and Illinois Stale Geological Surveys in southern Illinois. machine-readable form lo provide computer-generated maps tailored to specific needs. Our data bases include information on straligraphy, coal thickness, depth, mines, coal quality, land use, transportation facilities, and market areas and others. For example, a customized map could show where one may find coal seams at least 48 inches thick, within 150 feet of the sur face, near sizable cities, within so many miles of railroads, and so many miles of bodies of water. For coal economics, computer maps will allow us to: 1) present coal resource maps and tonnages within the context of current market conditions, 2) examine coal resources under different scenarios of market conditions, and 3) simulate the potential loss of resources through other activities, such as urban sprawl or regulations. These types of studies will assist industry and government in identifying opportunities for resource development and in for mulating plans to maximize the utilization of the State's abundant coal resources. Coal Mining Geology Research in coal mining geology helps to reduce mining costs and in crease productivity. Survey engineering geologists maintain a data base on strengths of materials. This rock mechanics data base is used in reviewing 40 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE coal mine designs and checking stability analyses. Engineering geologists and rock mechanics experts also review formulas for assumptions made in mine design. Strength testing of rock samples is undertaken on a case-by-case basis for many industries in the state, addressing questions of impact of buried bedrock valleys on the stability of underground coal mines and the strength of similar stratigraphic units across the State. Detailed geologic mapping of underground coal mines often reveals complicated and intricate patterns of roof-rock types and small structural features (fig. 15). Mapping establishes causes of unstable roof, faults and other disruptions, and areas of thin, split, or missing coal. Mine planners use maps like the one in figure 15, developed by the Survey, in mine planning and to better control roof stability in active mines. In the example, a relationship was noted between roof falls (in black), the thickness of the "gray shale" and Anna Shale, respectively, and the absence of a stable limestone roof rock. Roof control plans can take into account such geological knowledge to reduce roof falls, limit lost time accidents, and reduce mining costs.

Cross- section shows vertical relationship of strata overlying coal. COAL RESEARCH 41 Illinois Mine Subsidence Research Program This program covers a wide range of activities important to the economic well-being of the industry and the State. The Survey maintains a file of mined-out areas and provides counsel on mine subsidence claims. The com puter system is also capable of drawing the outlines of mined-out areas and the locations of mine subsidence claims received and processed for any coun ty in Illinois. Overall, the Survey's computerized file of mine subsidence claims shows that less than 17% of the alleged damage is caused by mine sub sidence. Another portion of our mine subsidence research program — research on the impact of mine subsidence on prime farmlands — is the subject of a separate paper by Paul Dutvlontclle in this volume. This program has been prompted by the need to seek ways to maximize production, cut costs, and improve productivity through high extraction or longwall techniques while protecting prime farmlands. RESPONDING TO SOCIOECONOMIC ISSUES The Survey's work on the handling of mine wastes is an example of the research and investigation we conduct on environmental issues related to coal production. Illinois coal producers have been washing and preparing coal for market for a little over 100 years. Refuse from these operations have become landmarks in some areas (fig. 16). In 1983 alone, about 20 million tons of coal-cleaning refuse were produced in Illinois, according to U.S. Department of Energy statistics. In 100 years, large quantities of coaly, clayey, and typically pyritic waste materials have accumulated in hundreds of piles and impoundments. The scientists at the Geological Survey are frequently asked questions about these waste materials by persons planning disposal facilities and coal recovery operations, reclaiming abandoned mines, and considering the use of such materials for construction. In some cases these waste accumulations arc environmentally unaccept able as they occupy space, pose pollution problems, and are aesthetically objec tionable. The view in figure 16 is from atop the tallest gob pile at the village of Mark in Putnam County. The photo was taken in 1982 and illustrates the dif ferent kinds of wastes: the oxidized mining gob in the foreground consists mainly of shales from the roof rock of the mine, the gob pile in the center is composed of waste from the mine preparation plant, and the mounded im poundment on the right contains materials from the slurry from the prepara tion plant. Survey field and laboratory analyses demonstrated that the clayey mining gob in the foreground could be used as a cover material that would support plant growth. It was used in this fashion in 1984-85 to cover the leveled slurry and preparation gob materials from the two piles in the background, which contained proportions of acidic materials, mainly pyrite. 42 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE Fin. 16 — Gob pile near Mark. Putnam County, Illinois. Photo taken in 1982. that are toxic to plants. The results of the leveling and cover operation prior to the re-establishment of plant growth are illustrated in figure 17. Survey scientists and engineers have also conducted studies on the secondary recovery of coal wastes and other valuable minerals from im poundments and have developed geologic, engineering, and chemical data, as well as the flow design of systems for secondary recovery operations. These data are also useful in planning for the reclamation of coal waste sites, as at the Mark site in northern Illinois. THE SURVEY'S INFORMATION SERVICES The Survey serves as an information agency as well as a research organi zation. Recently, Survey researchers have completed two data bases on Illi nois coal that arc accessible by the public via personal computers or the COAL RESEARCH 43 "TO*. ... -. . <« Fiji- 17 — Results in levelling operation nn gob pile shown in figure 16. Survey's computer terminal. Of most interest to coal mining companies is the Information System on the Chemistry of Illinois Coal (ISCIC) (fig. 18). ISCIC contains chemical analyses of representative channel and other types of samples collected at the seam face of most abandoned Illinois mines. Ar rangements to access the ISCIC are made by contacting the Survey. The chemical analyses can be retrieved by location, seam name, or by chemical criteria (e.g., samples containing less than 2.5 percent sulfur). The criteria can be defined by the user. The system allows the user to choose options to sort the data, obtain the average means and typical ranges of values for all chemical parameters on samples returned from the file, and provides a means to estimate sulfur, ash, and other qualities of coal for a prospective deposit or for larger regions in the State. The second data base provides information on the Survey's coal sample bank: the composition and full characterization of each of the samples, the names of all people who are using the samples, and their research objectives and results. This data base promotes the cooperation and sharing of technical problems and results among the researchers and also helps to publicize technical achievements. The Geological Survey charges a nominal fee for the use of the computer, mailing, and mailing services. The Survey is also working on data bases of stratigraphic and mine in formation collected from many different sources. Included in these data bases will be: 1) data on thicknesses, depths, and lithologies of the rock units (especially coals) observed, and 2) information on mineownership, years of 44 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE INFORMATION SYSTEM ON CHEMISTRY OF ILLINOIS COAL (ISCIC) SAMPLE DESCRIPTIONS CHANNEL SAMPLE -] CHEMICAL ANALYSES THERMAL ANALYSES USERS COMPUTER Public, Industry, Etc.

CONCLUSION Illinois coal production has remained stagnate at about 60 million tons per year over the past 20 years, but projections indicate that coal is expected to play an increasing role in the nation's energy future. For Illinois to play a significant part in this future expansion, certain critical actions by private in dustry, the citizens of the state, and the government are required: Improve coal cleaning to lower sulfur content and raise But value Reduce mining costs Develop transportation deals to lower delivered cost Cultivate industrial and other smaller markets including exports Support research in above areas COAL RESEARCH 45 Continued progress must be made in increasing productivity thus reducing min ing costs and in removing sulfur from Illinois coal. It is our belief that progress in each of these areas can only be realized through research. As I have indi cated, measurable progress is being made at the Survey in: 1) finding eco nomical means of removing sulfur from coal and improving coal quality in general, 2) reducing costs and improving productivity, thus improving Illinois' coal economics, and 3) providing appropriate, timely, affordable information and 4) responding to environmental problems related to coal production. In developing our research, service, and information program we are in deed grateful for the counsel of those in both (he public and private sectors.

We are working earnestly in the interest of Illinois businessmen, scientists, engineers, govern ment representatives, private citizens, public servants, and taxpayers.

Paul was educated at DePaul University witha Bachelor's degree in geology, and later received his Master'sdegree also in geology from Lehigh. He served as coordinator of the environmental and geology program at the Survey for five years. He heads the Earth Hazards and Engineering Geology Section at the Survey and is presently the director of the Illinois Mine Subsidence Research Program at the Illinois Geological Survey. The subject of his report is the second year progress report of the Illinois Mine Subsidence Research Program. Paul DuMontelle. THE SECOND YEAR PROGRESS REPORT OF THE ILLINOIS MINE SUBSIDENCE RESEARCH PROGRAM PAUL B. DuMONTELLE and ROBERT A. BAUER Illinois Mine Subsidence Research Program Illinois Stale Geological Survey INTRODUCTION We never cease to be amazed with the public's concept of mine sub sidence. Testimony by a local contractor at a recent hearing in Belleville, Illi nois, indicated that a major earthquake in Belleville would cause mines beneath the city to collapse, squeezing the water out of these mines with tremendous force. He further predicted that the tidal wave of water would spew out over the Mississippi bottomlands washing Caseyville and East St. Louis down the river. It is true that a major earthquake could occur in the region. But, case histories from all parts of the world indicate that earth quakes have very little, if any, effect on underground workings. Making up wild stories of this type severely detracts from efforts to alert the public of the real potential dangers ofearthquakes. It also points out the need to continual ly educate the public about the real effects of mine subsidence and to restate the goals and issues of the Illinois Mine Subsidence Research Program (IMSRP). One year ago at the 1985 IMI meeting we introduced the IMSRP. The in troduction covered how the program was initiated by the Illinois Coal Asso ciation and the Illinois Farm Bureau. We also discussed the organization of the Program, its goals, initial programs, and the participants. Now, a year later, we have preliminary results from studies on the impact of high extrac tion mining on crop production and laboratory and field studies of the strength and physical properties of the underclay floors of coal mines. Following our presentation of current crop yield studies and field work. Dr. Yoginder P. Chugh of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale will present findings on our investigation of mine floor materials. The IMSRP is a consortium of researchers from both state and federal institutions (figure 1), with expertise related to different elements ofcoal mine subsidence and crop production. The ultimate objective of the IMSRP con sortium is to develop guidelines for these two industries to answer questions facing the coal and agricultural industries of Illinois. Some of these questions are as follows: Does mine subsidence over high extraction coal mines cause per manent damage to crop production on prime farmland? Does subsidence impact aquifers important for water supplies and crop production?

Can more coal per acre be produced from either room and pillar mines or high extraction mines to reduce the acreage effected by min ing and maintain or increased tonnage rates? Can a partial extraction coal mine be designed for increased ex traction and yet maintain long-term stability and not subside? Can damage to structures and other facilities be reduced? The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1977 requires coal mine operators to minimize mine subsidence effects. Subsidence effects must be con trolled or mitigated to maintain a healthy economic base for both industries. IMSRP research is directed toward developing guidelines for high extraction mining which willoffer protection for prime farmland. The program also ad- 48 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE dresses the need to increase production in partial extraction mines while main taining long-term stable conditions. SUBSIDENCE EFFECTS ON CORN PRODUCTION What is the magnitude of crop damage caused by subsidence? Earlier work by Guither, an agricultural economist from the University of Illinois, and Mines and Bauer of the Illinois State Geological Survey (1985), indicated, a clear perception that subsidence caused damage to crop production on prime farmland. This study was not designed to quantitatively measure the effect of subsidence on crop production. In 1985, Darmody, a soil scientist at the U. of I., developed a systematic method to determine the reduction of corn production caused by current subsidence activity. Darmody established a ten-acre grid pattern over counties where high ex traction mines are located. Ten categories of information including mine name, township identification, section number, grid point, land use, sub sidence effects, mining type, panel orientation, soil type, and slope were recorded for each cell. Aerial photography flown each spring, summer, and fall was used to define the severity of subsidence effects. Since subsidence ef fects arc primarily related to increased wetness and appear darker shades of gray on the photographs, aerial photography was the logical tool to use. Four classes were established for areas of known subsidence. The first class was defined as subsided land that showed no effects on crop germination and growth. In areas where subsidenceshowed up on the photography, three ad ditional classes of severity were arbitrarily defined. Based on a range of shading from light gray to very dark gray, areas were labeled to have slight, moderate, or severe effects on crops. The summary of subsidence effects for 1985 indicated that subsidence had no effect on crops within more than 60 percent of the longwall mined areas. And, subsidenceeffects on crops couldn't be seen in more than 90 per cent of the high extraction retreat areas. Severe effects were observed in less than 4 percent of the mined areas. Precipitation is an important factor as these observations were observations of wet areas. Precipitation in 1985 was above normal. Preliminary indications for 1986 growing season indicate lower precipitation levels and less affect on crops by the subsidence features. The Darmody report identified slope as an important factor in how sub sidence effects farmland. He indicated initial obervationsshow that if the sur face topography is sloping at angles greater than 7 percent, production of corn would not be affected by subsidence. This type of information will be used to develop guidelines for planning high extraction mines. The Darmody study is significant in that the corn yields within each severity class were determined bya field sampling program. These production rates compared with adjacent fields which were not undermined showed that areas of "slight" effects had no significant reduction in corn production; moderately affected areas showed a 52 percentaverage reduction, and severe ly affected areas showed a 95 percent average reduction. Because subsidence SUBSIDENCE RESEARCH 49 features were observable in areas where corn production was not reduced, the method used was proved sensitive enough to test the effects of all subsidence. Reduction in corn yields for high extraction mining areas showed a 2.4 per cent reduction in com production over high extraction retreat mines and a 9.5 percent reduction over longwall mine areas. Darmody concluded that less reduction could be expected for years having normal precipitation and could possibly produce some benefit in very dry years. The study did not include areas where companies had mitigated the effects of subsidence. Several min ing companies have programs to mitigate the effects of subsidence. Evalua tion of different mitigation techniques will likely be a part of IMSRP in 1987. INSTRUMENTATION OF OVERBURDEN MATERIALS OVER A HIGH EXTRACTION RETREAT MINE IMSRP selected a site in Williamson County to instrument and investi gate the impact of subsidence on overburden materials. The site is gently roll ing terrain and is situated over a high extraction retreat mine panel which will be mined early in 1987. Part of the land is wooded and part was planted in corn in 1986. We negotiated with the land owner and his tenant to permit the use of the site. Agreements were signed to pay for crop loss caused by instru mentation of the site and for monitoring of instruments at the site. A map of the area was prepared from new aerial photography. Precision survey control monuments were established to tie surface and underground features. Under ground testing of the mine floor is also planned for this site. Testing and in strumentation of the surface began in the Spring of 1986. Three research teams coordinate and share their findings to avoid or minimize duplication of efforts. Soil scientists from the U. of I. are conducting investigations to monitor any soil and near surface moisture changes caused by subsidence. Several pits were dug to allow soil scientists to describe the soils in detail. The soil horizons were sampled, tagged, and surveyed. The pits were then lined with filter fabric so that they could be excavated easily and the tagged horizons resurveyed and described after subsidence. Long-term recording devices were buried at different depths to record temperature and moisture. These investi gations are designed to establish annual patterns of soil temperature and moisture changes and to determine what affect subsidence may have. Crop production is also determined. Other researchers from the U.S. Bureau of Mines and their contractors, Engineers International of Chicago, and 1SGS are responsible for the overall mapping and instrument location at the site. The typical instrument plan is shown in figure 2. The mine roof break line above a high extraction retreat mine is oriented at an angle to the length of the panel. This causes the subse quent surface subsidence wave to move across the panel at an angle different from the direction of mining. The line of the instruments at the IMSRP site is oriented to be perpendicular to the expected subsidence wave. IMSRP researchers made test borings and installed survey monuments, piezometers, 50 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE GJ ,.

These instruments will measure water pressure changes and movement in overburden units. Northwestern University and ISGS staff are also conducting field tests at the site to determine the suitability of using coaxial cable grouted in the bedrock overburden and time domain reflectometry (TDR) equipment to measure overburden movement. This technique was laboratory tested last winter by Northwestern University. A specific readout pattern occurs as a response to different types of crimps, abrasions, and breaks in the cable. Two deep holes were drilled at the site for the TDR test. The cable used in the field was crimped at twenty-foot intervals and anchored and grouted in the holes (figure 3). Time domain reflectometry equipment is used to monitor the cables. These installations will be monitored periodically until subsidence movement is complete. 1987 PLANS FOR THE ILLINOIS MINE SUBSIDENCE RESEARCH PROGRAM The IMSRP plans to continue investigation of corn production for a third year along with continued monitoring of the impact of subsidence on SUBSIDENCE RESEARCH 51 BATTERY OPERATED TDR CABLE TESTER"7 r.

Plans have been made to conduct an evaluation of mitigation techniques of subsided farmland. The IMSRP will continue to support floor and overburden studies and to start investigation into the third component of mine design needed for stable mines: coal pillars. The data from these pro grams are being compiled for convenient future reference and for use in analyzing models dealing with mine stability and subsidence. Our file of sub sidence references now exceeds 2,000 entries. The file will continue to be up dated and the keyword files expanded. In July, 1986, the U.S. Bureau of Mines and the Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources signed a cooperative agreement that extends 52 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE through September, 1991. This has resulted in a major financial commitment by both organizations. Negotiations are underway to establish a single co-op series to distribute IMSRP publications. Ron Morse: Thanks again, Paul.

John Turrel. TO SELL MORE COAL, HELP SELL MORE ELECTRICITY JOHN TURREL Editor of The Electric Letter Ml. Vernon, Illinois INTRODUCTION The coal industry collectively and producers individually could benefit both themselves and the electric utilities by helping the latter compete more effectively in the energy end-use marketplace. Mine closings, layoffs, price weakness, low profitability are the marks of much of the coal business today. They stem from many causes, but they mostly stem from the fact that four- fifths of the U.S. coal market is made up of electric utilities whose sales are now growing at only about 1.0 to 2.5 percent a year versus the 7 percent or so that they enjoyed before the embargo. But while some coal producers have responded to market softness with shutdowns, layoffs, and fire-sale prices, many utilities have re-established marketing departments, hired and trained people, put together advertising programs, and gone out and begun to sell more energy. And that's quite a change — one that not everyone's aware of. In the seventies and early eighties, most utilities stopped increasing their sales altogether. Starting with Con Ed's Kill-A-Watt plan, it was the Era of Con servation as utilities found themselves pressured by regulators and public opinion (and occasionally by their own lack of capacity) to massively "de- market" electricity. But all that conservation, and all that escalation in rates brought about by the slowergrowth or actual decline in kilowatt-hour salesdue to high infla tion, and some new plants that were planned and ordered back in the high- growth days have left most utilities today with surplus power. Made aware that dealing with slower growth and declining sales by con tinually raising rateswere surely forcing them into what the marketing profes sionals call a "death spiral", one utilityafter another in the past five years has moved away from all-out conservation to somecombination of conservation and marketing. In a majorityof eases now, marketing dominates; after all, do you know how many businesses that reallyenjoy exhorting people not to use their products? UTILITY MARKETING PROGRAMS At first, regulated utilities found that the utility commissions took a dim view of such things: keeping in place rules that prohibited load-building ads, disallowing marketing expenses, and even turning up the heat on conserva- 53 54 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE tion activities. More recently, however, regulators have become more realistic and are allowing at least some marketing activity. So how are utilities marketing? They're going after the big loads, which if they neglect, they'll lose to competition: In the residential market, this means space heating, water heating, and outdoor lighting. Among industrial users, it means space heating, lighting, and process heating. In the commer cial market, it means space heating, water heating, lighting, and cooking. (Lighting's competition is not another form of energy, but poor lighting is.) Their marketing tools are advertising, personal contact, work with such trade allies as dealers and contractors, grants or allowances to help ease the burden of new equipment, and various pricing schemes. Of the latter, perhaps the most common is the time-related discount — a price cut designed to get the user to shift his load to a time when it costs less to generate and deliver energy, or that induces him to let the utility interrupt service to, say a storage- type water heater. Often such time-based rates can make electricity directly competitive, on a cents-per-100,000-BTU basis, with fuels like natural or LP- gas or fuel oil. A trump card in the utilities' hand has been the heat pump, a reversible- cycle refrigeration system that can be used not only to air-condition but also to heat. Typical air-to-air heat pumps are from two to three times as energy- efficient as resistance heaters; earth-source units are even more so. A good ex ample is a commercial installation about a mile from this meeting site that will require the burning of 16 tons of coal a year. COMPETITION IS KEEN As John Sawhill, energy head of McKinsey & Company puts it, "Elec tricity is getting increased competition from alternative fuels. Natural gas suppliers, holding a three-year old surplus that shows little sign of going away, are trying to recapture home-heating and some industrial-process markets. Recent federal moves to make gas prices more responsive to a glutted market will intensify pressure on electricity." One manifestation of this increased competitive pressure is the national advertising program of the American Gas Association (AGA). Costing $20 million a year, a large chunk of which is attributed to donations by the transmission companies (pipelines), the slick four-color print and TV cam paign is directly positioned opposite electricity. Some ads describe how in dustries converted from electricity to natural gas. Equipment suppliers are tied into many of AGA's ads. The total cost of the gas ad campaign is more than triple that of the Edison Electric Institute, the electric utilities' counterpart group. Probably the main reason for this is that the electric companies, to this point, have to depend on what their respective regulatory commissions will allow them to contribute to national advertising. The gas utilities, on the other hand, have the aforementioned substantial help from transmission companies. The latter arc not under state regulation SELL MORE CO AL 55 and are thus free to protect their sales to the gas utilities by engaging in joint marketing activity. Unlike their passive counterparts in the coal industry, these gas suppliers are actively working to retainand expandtheir markets. A favorite pipeline ploy is to channel money through local "Blue Flame Asso ciations" to subsidize local ads for gas heat and against electricity. THE COAL-KILOWATTHOUR CONNECTION Most everyone knows that, roughlyspeaking, it takes a pound of coal to make a kilowatthour of electricity. (Of course this is not true for every kWh generated because some are hydro, some gas or oil, and some nuclear.) Na tionally, coal's share of the generation market is just over 50 percent. In the Northeast and the West it's less, and in the Midwest and Southeast it's more. Even within regions it will vary from one utility to another. What happens to coal consumption when an electric heat pump replaces a gas furnace (Table 1)? If it's on a 100 percent coal-burning utility, it means about a five-ton annual gain, or over its expected life of 20 years, a new market for 100 tons of coal. For water heaters, it's about two tons of new salesper year for each electricwater heater sold instead of gas. Diminish these figures by whatever percentage you think is appropriate for the utilities you supply or would hope to supply. Is this kind of coal volume worth worrying about? With proper support, some utility marketing experts envision heat pump sales running up toward a million a year — and even if you say that coal will only get half of the load, that's 2.5 million tons added to the market, year after year, for just this one residential end use. Adding a million heat pumps a year for 10 years means sales would in crease by 137.5 million tons total over that 10-year period. WHAT CAN COAL DO? So what can coal companies do to help utilities market electricity? The objective of such efforts should be clear and unmistakable — TO SELL ELECTRICITY — unlike the campaigns of some coal producers and at least one mining equipment maker which have public relations objectives. However well-intentioned such efforts have been, they do not sell more elec tricity and thus do not increase coal sales. Here are some suggestions: 1. Understand what the utilities' situation is. A good way to do this is to ask for qualified utility speakers on national, state, and regional coal industry programs. 2. Discuss among yourselves what action you might take. 3. Make sure that your national, state, and regional associations have marketing committees. 4. Consider association-based joint efforts, perhaps financed by a per- ton voluntary assessment. (Two cents per ton of steam coal would bring the 56 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE national electricity ad budget up to somewhere near what the gas industry is spending. About three-fourths of what they spend comes from your counter parts in their industry — the producers and transporters of their raw energy. 5. Get your equipment vendors, the rails, and the barge lines into the act, too. 6. Consider individual producer efforts such as positively stating the benefits ofelectricity use to employees, associates, and suppliers: Through ex ample, house-organ articles, pay-envelope stuffers, stickers, and posters. (How many coal company facilities and executives' homes use electricity to the fullest extent that they might?) Another approach for individual producers is to seek competitive advan tage over other coal suppliers by offering to advertise the benefits of heat pumps or electric water heaters to the public in a utility customer's service area: "You buy our coal and we'll help you advertise electricity, and it won't be subject to commission scrutiny." In my view this would be more effective than some of the coal company ads that 1 see in the electric utility trade press. I assure you that marketing has very much of the utilities' attention now, and it's growing (Figure 1). Sawhill says that today marketing is only in its in fancy in the utility industry! WOULD IT PAY? Can an input supplier to an industry support that industry's marketing efforts and have it pay? This is something that each company will have to decide for itself. But the concept is not unknown and untried: • Suppliers of food inputs regularly advertise their products to consumers in order to get a bigger slice of the market. • Airlines frequently help pay for the tourism advertising of destination markets that they serve. • And there are others. And as we've just seen, certainly coal producers' and transporters' coun terparts — the natural gas producers and pipelines — are doing it in spades! Would it pay coal producers to help their most important customers com pete more effectively in the energy end-use marketplace? Would it boost their own sales enough? How will you know if you don't try? I say "To Sell More Coal, Help Sell More Electricity!"

WOOTON Superintendent, Pattiki Mine White County Coal Corporation, MAPCO Ine. INTRODUCTION The location of this study is the Pattiki Mine, White County Coal Cor poration, a division of MAPCO, Inc. The mine is located approximately five miles southeast of Carmi, in southeastern Illinois. The mine's name is derived from the symbolic "Tiki", which is Polynesian for good luck. The prefix "Pat" is in recognition of W.T. Patterson, who directed MAPCO'S Illinois Basin operations for 18 years. Construction began on Pattiki Mine in January, 1980, with the simulta neous sinking of two shafts. Initial production was on May 14, 1983. The mine is located in the Wabash Valley Fault System, on the eastern flank of the Fairfield Basin, and just cast of the Ilerald-Phillipstown Fault. The mine will initially produce from the Herrin (No. 6) Coal seam, which averages 62 inches in thickness. The seam is situated under an average of 1000 feet of cover, which makes Pattiki the deepest mine in the Illinois Basin. The immediate roof is the Brereton Limestone, three lo five feet thick, with occasional occur rences of the Anna Shale between the coal seam and the limestone. The main roof is the Anvil Rock Sandstone, averaging 30 feet in thickness. The mine floor consists of a soft undcrclay, up to two feet in thickness. A long-term supply agreement with an electric cooperative in Florida ne cessitated the construction and development of Pattiki Mine. The coal quality required by the customer played a major role in the selection of the mining process. Due to the fact that the shipped coal would be transloaded several times between the mine and its destination, a relatively coarse, dry coal was required. Likewise, the company had been previously successful in the prepa ration of a low moisture, coarse-grade product. These factors and other con siderations required that the conventional mining process be utilized at Pat tiki Mine. Presently, 98 percent of all underground coal mined in Illinois is pro duced by either continuous or longwall miner. Conventional mining had declined due to various factors. Conventional producing sections require one- third more personnel than commons miner sections. Two additional pieces of equipment are required on a conventional section. More importantly, the limitations of using compressed air as a means of breaking down cut coal in Illinois left the industry behind the other states who use permissible explo sives. The use of high pressure air unnecessarily exposed miners to the hazards of ruptured air lines and excessive exposure to a half-shot coal face, 58 EXPLOSIVES UNDERGROUND 59 unsupported roof, and dusty conditions. For conventional mining to be con sidered safe and feasible, shooting-on-shift with permissible explosives is necessary. EXPLOSIVES The explosive presently used at Pattiki to break down coal is a water gel developed by DuPont in the early 1970's. It is a derivative of ammonium nitrate, which began replacing dynamite approximately 30 years ago. It has a high-loading density, an extremely low sensitivity to impact, and is water resistant. The gases produced by its detonation do not cause headaches as did previous explosives. The water gel is listed as a Class "A" explosive and has been issued a permissibility number. Pattiki presently uses 16-inch long, 1'/2-inch diameter sticks of the explosive. To detonate the water gel, electric blasting caps with timed delays are utilized. Use of the 75 millisecond spacing delays offers several advantages. Roof control is enhanced by detonating only a portion of the explosives at any one time. Likewise, more stable ribs result when the detonation delay in the rib-holes allows the center section ofthe face to be displaced when the ribs detonate. This creates a better shearing action on the face. The quantity of permissible explosives is also economized by shooting fewer holes per fall of coal. Mining law requires stemming in each hole that consists of a flame- resistant unit which has incorporated a positive means for providing confine ment. At Pattiki Mine, "water dummies" act as stemming for all holes. A water dummy is a 16-inch long, 1-5/8-inch diameter, water-filledbag. Two of the bags are used in each hole. The stemming maximizes energy displaced through the coal during detonation of the explosive by preventing a rifle- barrel effect that could exist due to the path ofleast resistance. Stemming also minimizes blow-out problems and reduces the noise level, as well as the possibility of an ignition. The handling of explosives is very critical to safety, whether they are detonated on shift or on an idle shift. At Pattiki Mine, the explosives and blasting caps are stored on the surface in separate, concrete block magazines, with a concrete barricade between them. The explosives arc transported underground on an idle shift in a specially made magazine car. A partition divider allows both blasting caps and water gel to be transported in the same car. Each producing section has a unit magazine which stores a 48-hour sup ply of explosives for that section. The magazine is kept locked except when loading or unloading. Accurate record-keeping is also necessary for safety. Not only is an inventory record kept on the surface, but each section magazine has an inventory record that is kept by the shotfireman. A shotfireman is selected for the job by reviewing past work habits, safety record, training level, and his day-to-day safety awareness. He/she is placed in a training program that includes classroom instruction, on-hands instruc tion, and an observation period under the supervision of a trained shot fireman. 60 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE The shotfireman is responsible for an assortment of equipment that is necessary for his job (Figure 1). He transports with him a 150-ft. shooting cable, powder punch, connecting wire, warning flags, a wooden tamping stick, cap and powder bags, and the shotfiring unit. The shotfiring unit presently used at Pattiki is a rechargeable DC unit that has a built-in continui ty testing circuit. This feature all but eliminates misfires. All this equipment is carried on a shooting cart. The shooting cart is a two-wheeled, firbergiassing wagon with a partition wall for storage of both blasting caps and explosives (Figure 2). CONVENTIONAL MINING The conventional mining cycle at Pattiki is most efficient while driving seven entries and turning crosscuts in the room and pillar mining method. The seven entries allow for the drilling, cutting, shooting, loading, and roof- bolting operations to proceed simultaneously, with one working place left open. The drill begins the mining cycle by entering the working place and drill ing four or five holes, depending on the coal seam thickness. The holes are 1 7/8 inches in diameter by nine feet in depth. Water continually flushes the hole while drilling, allaying dust and lessening the probability of ignition. It is also the driller's responsibility to make up and leave the "water dummies" or stemming material in each working place. He also runs "sights", i.e., marks the centerline, measures widths, and turns crosscuts. The coal drill presently- utilized at Pattiki is a Shroeder CDB 2000A. After the drilling procedure is complete, the cutting machine moves into the working place. At Pattiki, this is a Joy 15 RU, equipped with an eleven- foot bar. The seam is typically undercut according to the drill hole location, making sure to undercut all drill holes. The cut is approximately nine feet deep, rib to rib. The kerf, or undercut, allows for expansion of the coal upon detonation of the explosive. The kerf being cut at Pattiki is currently 6 3/8 inches, with a slacker/stacker system utilized on the cutter to minimize the amount of carry-back cuttings into the undercut. Variations to the standard undercut are necessary to accommodate in creased seam thickness. A "brad cut" or additional undercut is commonly used. This consists of a second undercut directly below the "blue band", or shale parting commonly found in the Herrin (No. 6) Coal. Upon completion of the cutting cycle, the cutter trams to the next working place and the shot- fireman's task begins. SHOOTING-ON-SHIFT Prior to entering the working place, the shotfireman or "shooter" hangs a reflective flag outby in the last open crosscut. This designation indicates to other workers on the section that explosivesarc being handled. Upon entering the place, the shooter follows routine safety proceduresofsounding the roof, EXPLOSIVES UNDERGROUND - m - • 9 Fig. 1 — Shoifirer's Equipment Fig. 2 — Minuting Curl used lo Transport Explosives to lite Working Face 62 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE checking the ribs, making a methane check, and hanging the wing curtain near the face. The shotfireman then checks the depth of the drill holes and the under cut with his tamping stick to insure that the explosives will not be detonated "on the solid". If the drill holes and undercut are of required depth and no methane accumulations are present, the shooter brings the explosives into the working place, and only of the quantity necessary to shoot that place. The plastic wrapper of the stick of explosive is punctured on one end by a non-sparking powder punch. An electric blasting cap is placed into the ex plosive, pointing lengthwise, and a half-hitch is tied in the leg wires around the stick. The stick is then placed into the drill hole. Additional cartridges of powder are then inserted, creating the powder train. The tamping stick is then used to firmly push the powder train to the back of the drill hole. Two water dummies are then placed into the hole and pushed against the powder train. The leg wires from the blasting cap are left shunted together and dangling from the hole. Each hole is prepared in the same manner before the leg wires arc unshunted (Figure 3). The leg wires are then wired together in a continuous loop, and another methane check is made. If no accumulation of methane is found, the blasting circuit is then wired to the shooting cable, which is shunted on the outby end. The blasting area is then cleared, personnel in adjoining working places are notified, and the shotfireman gets out of the line of fire in the last open crosscut. The shooting cable is then unshunted and the leads placed in the blasting unit. A plastic key is then pushed into the blasting unit, which energizes it. If the circuit is complete, a continuity light will indicate as such. At this point, providing the area is clear, the shotfireman simultaneously shakes his light outby down the entry in which the shot is being fired and yells a loud audible warning three times. He then pulls the plastic key from the blasting unit, detonating the shot (Figure 4). The shooter immediately shunts the shooting cable leads back together. Ventilating currents sweep the place for the next few minutes as the shot fireman rolls up the shooting cable and inspects his equipment. He then goes into the place, makes a roof and rib examination, and makes a methane check. If the working place is clear of smoke and methane, the shotfireman removes the reflective flag from outby the face, signifying "all clear" for the Joy 14 BU-10-41 loading machine to enter the place and load the loose coal into Joy 21SC shuttle cars for haulage to the ratio feeder. Two single boom Lee Norse TO-29 roof bolters on each section bolt the cleaned-up places and complete the conventional mining cycle. SUMMARY The conventional mining system requires that the individual miner be competent in his area of work and have the desire to safely maximize efficien cy of the cycle. At Pattiki Mine, we are fortunate to have the caliber person- EXPLOSIVES UNDERGROUND 63 Fig. 3 — Placing Explosives into Drill Hole ...... --«r •• • V-3ft " u \ •>- -A •• *-4tanft»v.. i-^v.- A Fig. 4 — Detonating Shot by Pulling Plastic Key from Shotfiring Unit. 64 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE nel. It is to the credit of these individuals that the safety record of shooting- on-shift at Pattiki stands as it does. Though safety-trained in each task, it is the individual miner's initiative and personal responsibility to his duties that ensure a safe, successful opera tion. I have the good fortune to work with these individuals, and it is their performance that enables me to present this information to you. I hope that 1have enlightened you to the methods and procedures used for shooting-on-shift at Pattiki Mine, and I invite any questions or discus sions with you later. Thank you!

BUSINESS MEETING President David Beerbower: Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to call the business meeting of the 94th IMI meeting to order. 1guess I've made this speech a couple of times, so I'm going to make it shorter this time. The move that we've made to Mt. Vernon, at least from everyone that we've talked to, has been well accepted. I think it is a decision that the Board made with good judgment and I think it is one that will serve the Institute well in the coming years. I think Heinz will go through the census report when he gives his Secretary-Treasurer's report. It appears we now have about 800 members and students registered, and that is quite a bit higher than last year. I'd like to get the meeting moving; so with that, I'll have Heinz give you the Secretary- Treasurer's report. SECRETARY-TREASURER'S REPORT Heinz Damberger: Good morning. First, 1will report on the membership and attendance. Dave has already mentioned that our attendance this year is about 800, as of this moment. So one of the purposes of moving down here to southern Illinois has been accomplished. We arc closer to the coal fields and to the people, and it has helped. Last year I think we had an attendance of 760, so that is a significant increase in attendance. (Final attendance was 785 regular members, 8 honorary life members, and 29 studentsfor a total of822 in attendance.) As far as our finances are concerned, I am happy to report that the bot tom line shows a surplus of 54,627.78. I have copies of the financial report for anybody who wants to look at it, and you can take copies home if you wish. The financial report has been approved by the Auditing Committee and found to be in order. Maybe a few comments about the surplus that we are showing arc in order. It is not quite as good as it sounds. One reason is that we are showing some new income this year that cannot be compared to previous years. For instance, we show income of S2.680 prepayments for the dinner-dance. Most of that we will have to pay back to the Ramada Hotel. We also had some problems with our printer this year. He installed new printing presses, and he had a little difficulty controlling the flow of ink. Some pages were not printed quite up to our standards, and I complained about it. We got a reduction of 10 percent in the price of printing our Proceedings, which amounted to 51,289, so that's an unusual source of income that will not recur, 1 hope. There is another item that is hidden in there if you look closely, and it shows 66 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE Fig. i — view of exhibit area in the atrium of the Ramada Hotel. up in the surplus, indirectly. We purchased a computer, the little Macintosh and peripherals that are sitting out there and is printing our name tags. We are going to use this to keep track of our membership. We have already moved the membership list into this computer from our Survey computer, which wasn't quite as easy a task as wc thought it would be, but I have some excellent help here from Brian Trask, who is sitting here, and Russ Jacobson, who is manning the computer at the moment outside. This was a good time to make the move because, as you all know, Betty Conerty is retiring, or rather, has retired as of July 1. Wc hired Phyllis God win. She is experienced with the use of computers and is eager to get things organized using the computer. The total cost of the equipment and the soft ware (a word processor and a database management system called Helix) that you see out there, was a little over S3.000. It ends up in the surplus indirectly (shown as expense and as an addition to assets). Over all, I think weare on an even keel, financially. Wc have some new sources of income. The exhibition booths (figure I) have not generated a lot of income this year. We are charg ing S90, and we have to expend S75. So they aregenerating S15 of income for us, and that just barely covers the cost of the work that is involved (phone calls, letters, billings, etc.). Wc will have to increase the amount we charge for booths next year. Wc are also planning to increase the number of exhibits. I presume that next year we will again have the dinner. The dinner generated some income that will show up in this year's financial report. Looking down the road, there is no need at this point to increase either the cost ofadvertising BUSINESS SESSION 67 in our Proceedings, or lo increase ihe dues, at leasi not for the next one or two years. Bui we'll have to consider theseon a regular basis, of course. This completes my report. Are there any questions? I'll be happy to answer them. Dave Beerbower: Next is a very important part of the continuing success of the Illinois Mining Institute. When we look at nominees for members on the Board, a lot of people don't realize that the Board makes the decisions for Ihe Institute. It is true that the President and Secretary-Treasurer do quite a bit on getting the meetings set up and doing the detail work, but the Board of Directors makes the major decisions, such as where the meetingswill be held. They make decisions on which scholarships will be given and which schools are to receive those. They also make other various major decisions, and I put the emphasis on major decisions because that Board meets once a year prior to the annual meeting and basically plans the rest of the year's activities. As something different this year, we are going to meet about three weeks after the meeting to try to assess and critique this year's meeting in order to try to improve it for next year. So as we look to the Board of Directors, we want to emphasize that it must be an active Board and it must be made up of people who are interested in making the Institute a success. So with that, I would like to call John Prudent who was Chairman ofthis year's Nominating Committee. NOMINATING COMMITTEE REPORT John Prudent: Thank you Dave. The Nominating Committee nominates the following members to fill the various offices. For President, Mack Shumate, Zeigler Coal Co.; for First Vice President, M.E. Hopkins, Peabody Coal Co.; for Second Vice President, John Hughes, Turris Coal Company; for Secretary-Treasurer, Heinz Damberger, Illinois Slate Geological Survey; for Executive Board Members: Bob Holloway of Arch Minerals; Dan Wooten, MAPCO; H.W. Myers, Consol; and Dan Hunter, AMAX. The Nominating Committee also proposed that Bill Hoke of Old Ben fill the re maining term of Wayne Parke, Old Ben, who resigned due to his move to Cleveland. Dave Beerbower: The Board has approved those nominations and recommends them to this body. Are there any other nominations from the floor? If not, then I call for a motion. Second. All in favor say aye. Opposed? Thank you. Next I call on Doc Harrell, who has been the Chairman of the Honorary Life Membership Committee. HONORARY LIFE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE REPORT Doc Harrell: The Honorary Membership Committee, made up of Dick Clark of Amax, Ed Bennett of Peabody, and myself arc pleased to announce the selection of Buster Roberts as Honorary Life Member of the IMI for this year. As you all know, Buster is past president of IMI, a former employee of Inland Steel Coal Company, and is now retired. We are pleased to make this selection. I thank you. 68 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE Dave Beerbower: The Board has approved that nomination. I want to stress that as you think about Buster Roberts becoming an Honorary Life Member that you all attend the luncheon today where he will be given that award. Next 1 would like to call Lanny Bell to give the Advertising report. Advertising is where most of our money comes from, so this is an important report. ADVERTISING COMMITTEE REPORT Lanny Bell: First, I'd like to publicly thank all the members on my Com mittee who work long and hard using a little pressure here and there to secure ads for our Proceedings. Of course I'm reporting on last year where our total ads were 212 as opposed to 1984 when it was 221. We lost approximately 9 ads, which could have been pages or half pages. Our revenue, I don't believe, suffered because we had put in a raise in rates at that time, so I imagine we're a little bit ahead as far as the money goes. This year at our First solicitation, which is done by mail, we have already received 100 advertisers. We had a meeting of all the Committee before the official IMI meeting, and members were given names to contact during this Institute meeting. I'm sure we have a lot more in hand at this time. We realize our importance here in keeping this In stitute going and all of our members are dedicated to do just that. Thank you. Dave Beerbower: One of the added by-products of moving to southern Illinois that we did not anticipate is that more students showed up at this meeting than wc normally would have. With that 1 would like to call on Dr. Chugh to give the Scholarship Committee report. SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE REPORT Dr. Chugh: Thank you, Dave. On behalf of the IMI, I am pleased to report on the activities of the IMI Scholarship Committee. The Committee consists of Mr. Jim Yancik of Freeman United Coal Company and Mr. Kevin Brook of Consolidation Coal Company. The Board met yesterday and they approved the following scholarship support: University of Missouri-Rolla, SI,500; Southern Illinois Univcrsity-Carbondalc, $1,500; University of Wis- consin-Plattevillc, $750; University of Southern Indiana, S750; Rend Lake College, S600; and Wabash Valley, $600. I would like to call the chairs of rep resentatives of these schools to talk about how the scholarship monies were utilized last year. I would like to start with University of Missouri-Rolla. Pro fessor Harry Urtin, Chairman of the Department, will be giving this report. Professor Harry Urtin: Thank you, Dr. Chugh. This year we are really grateful to the Illinois Mining Institute for the scholarship because, as you all know, the enrollment in mining schools is down and these scholarships will help us make up for some of these enrollments. We have given one scholar ship of $750 to Mr. Michael Sturdervant of Springfield, Missouri. Mr. Randy Reed, was also here, but he was detained this morning. I think he is from Pennsylvania. He is a senior and hopes to graduate next fall (Figure 2). SCHOLARSHIPS 69 Kij;. 2 — Students from University of Missouri at Rolla who attended meeting (left to right i: Michael Sturdersant (recipient of IMI scholarship), Dave Holies, Joe Swan, Randy Reed (IMI scholarship), and Neil Nagel. Now I would like to say just a few words about the Mining Engineering Department. This year you probably heard that last year the general enroll ment was very low. 1 am happy to report that this year our freshman enroll ment is much better. Last year we had only one freshman, but this year we have twelve. The main reason is the scholarship money that was given to us by different coal companies. So overall faculty-student ratio at the present time is about 1:7. We have 8 faculty: 3 professors, 2 associate professors, 2 as sistant professors, and 1 instructor. At the present time, we have 50 students, so it's a good student/faculty ratio. Thank you very much. Dr. Chugh: We received a letter from the Dean of the College of Engi neering at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, Dean McDonald. He in dicated that he will not be able to make it to the meeting, and he will not be able to send his representative to give a report on the scholarships, so I will just briefly read the report to you. They gave IMI scholarships to three students, Mark Heerbusher, Jeff Rohrshak, and Chris Hardy. They have ex pressed sincere thanks to the Institute for awarding these scholarships, and I'm happy to report on their behalf. Next, 1would like to call George Eadie, University of Southern Indiana, to report on their scholarship activities. George Eadie: Thank you, Paul. The University of Southern Indiana is located in Evansvillc, and we're happy to receive the money that the Institute gives us each year. We divide the S750 into two scholarships and the selection of the scholarship recipients is made by the mining faculty. We consider both 70 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE the academic record and the needs of the recipient, and we do try to provide some continuity to these scholarships. If the student continues to maintain a good enough grade point average, and if he continues to have the need, then we try to continue the scholarship. Mr. Bill Peters is here with us this morning (figure 3). He is receiving the Illinois Mining Institute scholarship for the third year. Bill will graduate in December and is looking forward to getting out into the coal industry. Our second recipient is here this morning, Mr. Mark Smith. Mark is a junior, who will be here with us another year, and if he continues in his academic record as he has in the past, he will continue to receive half of the $750. We're very appreciative of the fact that the Illinois Mining Institute has moved to Mt. Vernon because it does make it a little closer for us. We can leave the campus in the morning, and be here in time for an 8:30 meeting. Weare very much in favor of it, and we do genuinely appre ciate the support that the Institute has given to the University of Southern In diana. Thank you. Dr. C/iug/i: I would like to call upon Dr. Harold Finn from Rend Lake College to report on scholarship activities. Dr. Finn: Thank you. First of all, we're very happy that the IM1 meeting is in our college district. We welcome the Institute, and we hope it continues for some time. The contribution the IMI made to our scholarship fund in the Department of Mining Industrial Technology was divided this year along with some other contributions. We offered five scholarships. Two of those scholarships went to students from Pinckneyville High School District — Pig. 3 —Participanls from University of Southern Indiana who attended meeting (left to right): ProfessorGeorge Kadie; students: Hill Peters and Mark Smith (recipients of IMI scholarships) and Steve Hum. SC HOLA RSHIPS 71 John Bauson and Steve Laveer. Another scholarship went to Matt Cochrum. These three boys could not be with us this morning. We have two other recip ients with us; John Hcaley from Infield, and Scott Webb from McLeansboro (figure 4). Also with us this morning, we have a representative of what we consider our most valuable resource in the Department of Mining and Indus trial Technology, one ofour instructors, Mr. Lee Wilson who teaches hydrau lics and part of the annual refresher training for the coal companies in the district. Again, we thank you for your contribution to our scholarship fund. Dr. Chiigh: Professor George Woods will report on Wabash Valley scholarship activity. George Woods: The Institute gave Wabash Valley $600 this year for scholarships. We divided that into five scholarships of $120 each. We have four of the representatives here with us this morning. We have Timothy Drea from Springfield (figure 5), who works at the preparation plant at Peabody No. 10, and carries 16 hours of classes. Tim is in his second year. Mike Rister is from Harrisburg and is self-employed in a business in Harrisburg. We have Lorie McKnight, who is working two part-time jobs while going to school. She will be graduating in May. We have Mike Fox, and he also works. We had one other gentleman who had to work today and couldn't be with us, Adam Embry. We definitely appreciate the support the Institute has given the schol arship recipients. We also have had two instructors here with us today. John Arview from the Harrisburg location and Jerry l.ikcshoe from Springfield. The Wabash Valley program is doing pretty good. Despite the recession in the Fig. 4—Participants From Rend Lake College who attended meeting (from left to right): John R. Healy (recipient of IMI scholarship). Lee Wilson (instructor), Scotly E.

Drea, Mike Fox, Mike Ulster, and t.orie McKnighl. coal industry, we have 175 full-time students who are trying to get their Asso ciate Degree in Mining Technology. Again, we thank you for your support. Dr. Chugh: Finally let me report to you on the activities at Southern Illi nois University at Carbondale. A total of $1,500 was awarded which was divided into three scholarships of $500 each. The recipients were Mr. Dell Reeves, Randy Simpson, and Kent Metzgcr. One of the students decided to work part time for one year for the industry, and therefore we withdrew the S500 scholarship from him. We will be awarding that $500 this year. Mr. Randy Simpson, who ishere, isan extremely good student in our department. Mr. Reeves could not make it this morning. Let me quickly report to you on the health of the Department of Mining Engineeringat SIU. We have 20 students in the undergraduate program. We had three freshmen enter the program, and we have about 23 graduate students. Last year I reported that we have instituted a Ph.D. program in the department, and four students arc enrolled in the program. We sincerely ap preciate the scholarship support given to us by the Illinois Mining Institute, and we hope that this support will be continued in the future. Thank you. Dr. Chugh: That concludes our Scholarship Committee report. Dave Beerbower: Just a couple of items to close. We have some ques tionnaires. We are asking for the members' suggestions, recommendations, and comments on what they thought of this year's show and also asking for suggestions for next year's show as to whatwe can do to help improve it. And finally I would like to urge you all to stay for this morning's session. Rusty LUNCH EON SESSION 73 Fig. 6 — Speakers and Chairman in Friday morning technical session (left to right): Ron MeMahan, Jerry Karaganis. Udo llein/e, Ramesh Malholra, and Rusty Glen (Chairman). Glen has done an excellent job lining up some excellent speakers to talk to us about the future of the Illinois coal markets and utilization of that coal. If there is no other business to be brought up from the floor, I will close the meeting. Thank you. LUNCHEON MEETING The annual Institute Luncheon Meeting convened at 12:30 P.M. in the Off Broadway RoomoftheRamada Hotel. Approximately 240 members and guests were in attendance. President DavidBeerbower presided. President Beerbower: First ofall I'd like to recognize the people sitting at the head table because they have all contributed or are about to contribute something to the Institute (figure 1). We start on the far end. This is Doc Harrell from Freeman United Coal Mining Company. He's the chairman of the Honorary Membership Committee. Next to him is Jim Conway, an old time IllinoisMining Institute member who in his days did some excitingwork on roof bolts in coal mines. Next to him is Brad Evilsizer, Director of the De partment of Mines and Minerals. We have Dave Zcgeer, the Director of U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration, and Assistant Secretary of Labor. And on my right at the far end is Nate Perrine. He's a long-time member of the IMI and a big supporter through the Advertising Committee. Next to him is John Prudent, who will be giving out the Honorary Membership Award 74 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE Fig. 1 — Mr. C. Jim Conway Islanding al head lablc), who resides in Florida, has hcen an Honorary Lifetime Member of the IMI since 1975. He inlroduccd roof-boiling in 1945, anil this important development in coal mining was first described in the 1948 Proceedings of the IMI. Doc Harrcll is seated lo his left, and llrad Evilsi/er and Dave Zegeer are lo his right. this year. And next to him is Russell Dawe, who was last year's recipient of the Honorary Life Membership Award. Next to him is E. H. Buster Roberts, who will be this year's Honorary Life Member recipient. And then next to me is Mack Shumate, who will be next year's president of the Institute. Next I'd like to introduce some people who have worked hard, particu larly members of the Illinois State Geological Survey. We couldn't have had this meeting without their support. Lastweek westarted talkingabout peoplewewant to recognize for thejob they have done. I'd like Robin Gcssling, with the Ramada Hotel, lo bring her staff down here. I think wecan allappreciatethe great job that they havedone. With that, I'd like to have Heinz Damberger come up. There's some special recognition that he would like to give. Heinz Damberger: Actually, I have two items to talk about here. First, we have a special award to make. There are five plates in this room that have a littlesticker underneath. Those with such a plate have just won a beautiful tie that has been provided by Edison Electric Institute. This is the organiza tion that represents the electric power industry. They have provided these ties (through John Turrel) to remind you that by using electricity, you are supporting coal. I have another present here that I want to give to a person who is very special to a lot of us here. Shedoesn't know that I'm goingto do this. But it's Betty Conerty, whohas been with us for 24years working hard for the Illinois Mining Institute. She retired officially as of July 1. Shegave meabout three or four years to look around for a good replacement. I know how hard she hasworked because I have worked with her for7or 8years now. Shehas been on the phone sometimes from morning untilnight to get thoseads in that the LUNCHEON SESSION 75 members of the Advertising Committee sold or provided leads for. Also, sometimes it is not easy to get people to pay their bills. The advertising is our main source of income and it brings in about $25,000 per year. Betty was a half-time employee of the Institute. Now she has retired with Social Security, and its due to the Institute; she's very appreciative of it. Betty has worked on a farm with her husband, Jim, for many years. Our meeting has always been in October, which is a bad time for a farmer's wife to come to our meeting for two days. Betty has been training Phyllis Godwin the last half year, and we have to bear with Phyllis for a while because it is a complex job. It will take Phyllis maybe a year or so until she really gets into it. She will have the sup port of Betty, I know, because Betty has been in the office twice a week, and they're on the phone with each other pretty regularly when Phyllis has a ques tion. Whoever went through the registration here, I'm sure has noticed that Betty was still kind of in charge. Anyway, in recognition of your work, Betty, we have a little present for you. Would you come up, Betty (figure 2). BettyConerty: You know four years ago you honored me with a beautiful miner's lamp and made me an Honorary Life Member. I was very grateful then, but four years later, you give this to me, you are a wonderful organiza tion. You've just done so much for me. Like I told you before, it was back in 1962; Jack Simon and I were working on our class reunion, and I said to him, Fig. 2 — Longtime Administrative Aide Betty Conerty receives gift in recognition of her retirement after 24 years with the Illinois Mining Institute from Secretary- Treasurer Hein/ Damhcrger. President-elect Mack Shumate is at left. 76 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE "Do you have a job for an old farm gal? I'd kind of like to get off of the farm." And Jack said "Yes, 1 think the Illinois Mining Institute could use a part-time gal." I've worked for Jack. I've worked for Heinz. They've kept me in tow. And I've really enjoyed working with them. And I've enjoyed working with all of you members. Thank you. Dave Beerbower: We now would like to recognize schools that have brought students, and we'll call out the name of the school and have that group stand up. First, University of Missouri-Rolla; Southern Illinois University-Carbondale; University of Wisconsin-Plattcvillc; University of Southern Indiana; Rend Lake College; Wabash Valley College. I think we need to give these students a big hand. On a more solemn note, we have had some members pass away. We have three names, and if I've missed anybody, 1 would like someone to bring it up at this time. One of our members, Cecil Bailie, a consultant at Benton, Illi nois passed away this year. Jim Duane, who was General Manager at T. A. Pollack & Co., West Frankfort, Illinois passed away, as did Claus Werner, with Werner Conveyor Systems. So if you would please, all rise and have a moment of silence. Thank you. We have a new wrinkle in the program this year, and we're pleased to be able to do this. Last year Russ Dawc was awarded the Honorary Life Mem bership, and because of health problems he was unable to be here with us. We svent ahead and bestowed the honor on him anyway. We're very pleased that his health is restored, and he is here with us today. He would like to say a few words (figure 3). Russ Dawe: Thank you, Mr. President. I want to make this short and sweet. I just want to thank you gentlemen and ladies for giving me something that I never dreamed would ever happen. This is one of the greatest honors that I have ever received. Thank you all. Dave Beerbower: Now we have an Honorary Life Member for this year, and Doc Harrell and his committee worked very hard coming up with a very qualified recipient. To give that award, I would like to call up John Prudent of Inland Steel. John Prudent: Thank you, Dave. The Illinois Mining Institute has tradi tionally recognized its outstanding members byawarding a Lifetime Honorary Membership in the IMI. This year the Nominating Committee consisted of Doc Harrell of Freeman United, Jack Bennett of Pcabody, and Richard Clark of Amax. The Committee is proud to announce the recipient of the Honorary Life Membership award is E. H. Buster Roberts. Buster was born and raised in Westburg, Virginia. He graduated from high school in Linchburg and attended college at VPI in Blacksburg. He earned his B.S. degree in mining engineering from VPI in 1940. From 1943-1946 he served in the Marine Corp and was overseas for 16 months. After entering into the coal mining industry, he devoted inordinate amounts of timeand energy to the industry, leaving little time for personal hobbies and activities. After joining Inland Steel Coal Com pany in 1950, he moved up through the ranks to the position of Vice-President of Operations. Heserved his company and thecoal industry until hisretirement last year. MONORA RY MEMBER 77 Fig. 3 — Russet Dawc. who received Honorary Life Membership Award lasl year hut was unable to attend meeting at that time due to illness. Buster Roberts has served many organizations to promote and improve the Illinois coal industry. He was a member of the American Institute of Metallurgical Engineers, Chairman of the Mechanical Mining Committee of the American Mining Congress for four years, Chairman of the Midwest Coal Section of the AIME, President of the Mining Electrical Group, was on the Ex ecutive Board of the Illinois Mining Institute, and has also served on the board of the Illinois Coal Association. In addition to his coal interests, lie has served on various community functions, such as the YMCA Board of Directors. He served as Second Vice-president in the Kentucky Association for Retarded Children, Floyd County Council for Retarded Children, Jefferson County United Way, Board of National Management Association, and is an active member of the First Presbyterian Church in Mt. Vernon. Many of you have already had an occasion to meet or to know the individual weare honoring to day through mutual interests and coordinated efforts for the betterment of the coal industry. At this time I consider it a pleasure and an honor, on behalfof the Illinois Mining Institute, to present (his Honorary Life Membership Award to a very deserving friend and colleague, E. H. Buster Roberts (Figure 4). 78 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE Fig. 4 — fluster Roberts, recipient of Honorary Life Membership Award in 19X6. E. H. Buster Roberts: Thank you, John. Recently, I read about a grade school principal who retired, and the teacher had the students write letters to him. His favorite was one that said simply, "You were good while you lasted". While somebody else will have to judge that, as far as I'm concerned, I think that it was good while it lasted. Wc came to Illinois in 1966, and right away we attended the Illinois Mining Institute at the old St. Nick HotcL I have a lot of memories, as many of you would know. Of course that was before the shoe boxes. I think it was my first trip there, and when I went upstairs to wash my hands, there were just three or four of us there. This fellow next to me and I had a conversation. Later on, my friend who worked for the company with me, said, "Do you know who you were talking to?". I said "No, but he looked familiar." He said "That was Mayor Daly." There were some misgivings about being from a steel company. I associated with a good many of the people in the Illinois Mining Institute, and they are good people svhercver you go. There have been many challenges, and I think, wc met ours. They say that you can turn problems into opportu nities. Well,we had a lot of opportunities, and wegrow through them. I think that the outstanding asset has been our people. I've valued my relationship with the Illinois Mining Institute. I feel very fortunate and really blessed to be a part of that, and I hope for many years to associate with this group. 1cherish the honor, and I will cherish it for the rest of my life. Thank you very much. Dave Beerbower: I consider myself to be a lucky man today because I have been able to give you honor after honor, and I really enjoy doing this. When we talked about bringing the meeting to southern Illinois, we wanted to do some things that would make this a memorable meeting. Part of that was lookingfor a speaker to speak at the luncheon, so weset our goalsvery high. Our first choice, of course, was to ask Dave Zcgccr. A lot of people said no, he won't come. He's too busy. And I thought, well, the only thing he can do is tell me no, so we called. Previous to that, I had lunch with Dave in Wash- LUNCHEON SESSION 79 ington. We were talking about Federal inspectors, which happens to be a pret ty familiar topic to many of us, and he told me what his philosophy and ob jectives were, for all his inspectors. He wants them to be friendly, firm, and fair. I don't think the Federal inspectors have any better example to follow than the man who is here with us. I have a long list of his accomplishments here, but I'm not going to read them because they are so lengthy. The man has been involved in the mining industry for 40 years. If anyone doubts his qualifications for his position they can come up and check with me later, but I assure you, he is very well qualified and a friend and an advocate of the coal industry. I now introduce Dave Zcgeer (figure 5). Fig. 5 — Luncheon speaker David Zcgeer, Assistant Secretary of Mine Safely and Health, Department of I.ahor, Washington, D.C A SAFETY CHALLENGE FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY DAVID ZEGEER Assistant Secretaryfor Mine Safety and Health Department of Labor, Washington, D.C. I have good news and bad news for you. The good news or bad news, whichever way it is, is that effectiveat noon today, your Federal government has shut down. The continuing budget resolution has presented a problem. All Federal employees, except those who are important and necessary, have been sent home. They're not to report to work even Monday unless they're notified to come to work. So I didn't know whether to leave town at 11:59 or just stay here with you. I decided to stay because Mike and I both feel that we're important. So we'll stay. I was told, by a person whom I work with, that if you're going anywhereto make a speech, just remember this: Bebrief, be brilliant, and be seated. I don't know how brilliant I'm going to be, but I will try to be brief. It's good to see a lot of people whom I've met here in Illinois, and Buster Roberts is one of those persons. I've known Buster since 1946, and he's a great guy. You couldn't have picked anybody better. Doc Harrell — ofcourse everybody knows Doc. Doc has been a real friend and getting to come out here and see people likehim and Frank and Roger Nance and so manymore is a fun part of the mine safety business. You all know that mining is in an hostile environment. That's the given. And one thing a lot of people do not acknowledge is that mining people, whatever their jobs may be, are darn smart people. They're creative people. Mining has had its problems through the years. Fifty years ago, in the depression from 1931 to 1935, there were over 1,400 people killed each yearin mines: that's coal, metal, and nonmetal combined. In the past five years, to give you the flavor of how minesafety has im proved, in both coal and metal/non-metal mining, there has been a total of 177 deaths a year. Still, 177 is too many, but it's a far cry from the 1,400 that occurred year-by-year fifty years ago. We now have the Federal law, and we have the state laws in some states for the protection of the miners. The law is working. It is doing a good job. We have some imperfections, yes. But in this country we have 17,000 mines with over 400,000miners working, and there is a great eoneern for the health and safety of those people. Last year, out of those 17,000 mines, 1000 of them went without a single disabling injury. That shows it can be done. Yes, we still have problems. Still, each year the American Mining Congress and MSHA jointly award what is called the Sentinels of Safety Award to mines that excel in safety. Some of the mines are here in the Midwest. These are large mining operations that have gone for a whole year without a single disabling injury. I had the good fortune to attend one of these presentations recently in Florida, and itmakes your heart feel good. This is one of the payoffs you get in this business when you see good things like that happen. 80 SAFETY C II ALLENGE Yes, we have a problem today with the small mines, which I don't think is of great concern to you people here in Illinois. But in the southern Appala chian region it is a serious problem, and we recognize, too, that they need help. They have had more than their share of accidents, and so we must con cern ourselves with their problems too. Heinz Dambergcr and 1 spent two years working with Ernie Spokes. Ernie was the chairman of our committee, which included twelve of us, who spent two years studying this question of underground eoal mine safety. This study was commissioned by the National Academy of Sciences. We came up with three simple answers. I thought, my goodness, we spent two years and we already knew this. But we supported it with all kinds of data. The first thing was that for the ultimate in mine safety you must have the commitment of management. Management first has to be committed: "1 want a safe work ing place for my people." With that, you're off to a good start. I sec a lot of that in traveling all over the country. The second ingredient is cooperation between management and labor. It must be cooperative. We have a lot of good situations where that is working. We have some situations where it is still a problem, but eventually that has to come. And the third ingredient, which is just as important as the first two, is training, training, training. We have to have training. In Jenkins, Kentucky for years and years we had first aid and mine rescue teams. Our goal in life then was to be first in mine rescue contests. Some years we were successful, and some years the judges rided against us. Over a fifteen-year period of time, we studied every one of our employees. Those people who served on these teams — first aid or mine rescue or both of them — had one-fourth as many accidents as those people who did not partic ipate in the first aid or mine rescue. That was right across the board. Consid ering hours worked and everything, they had one-fourth as many accidents. From that you can see training is important. I go by these letters: the three F's — firm, fair, and friendly, and the three E's of a successful mining operation — engineering, education, and en forcement. You can put them in any order you want. Engineering has made a lot of progress through the years. A reference was made to the development of roof bolting here in Illinois about 40 years ago. The self-contained self rescuer is still not exactly right, but still that has saved at least two lives since it has been available. Canopies on machinery, continuous miners, and roof drills are other cases in point. So far, since canopies have been required as a result of an engineering study, there have been over 250 lives saved in coal mining alone. Then there are the systems for continuous atmospheric monitoring, espe cially carbon monoxide detection. Sixty-three mines in the country are experi menting with these systems, and I think they are going to become common place in the larger mines. I can't talk too much about education. We in MSHA provide $5,000,000 a year to the states to provide education programs which they can do better than the Federal government. We have 47 states participating. Just two months ago, we entered into an agreement with the Navajo Nation in Win- 82 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE dow Rock, Arizona. They are going to be putting on their own training pro gram for their people, and they are very enthusiasic about it. We have a training academy in Beckley, West Virginia, that is available to you and your people if you're interested. At our facility in Dallas Pike, West Virginia, where we test our equip ment, we have an explosion gallery mounted on a big trailer. We've recently had 20 demonstrations in the coal fields where we charged this gallery with about a 9 percent mixture of methane gas, and with an audience there, we'd blow the roof off it. When it's done at night, you can really see the methane exploding. We've had it all over the Appalachian area. We want to get it down to the salt mines of Louisiana and the coal mines in Alabama. It shows people what happens when you have a methane explosion. If you're in terested and want to pursue it, let us know, or let the people at Dallas Pike know and we'll put you on the schedule. Another reward that you get on this job: last September during the Mexi can earthquake disaster, at the request of the State Department, we sent three people down there with some geophones, which are a very sensitive type of hearing apparatus. They located four people alive in the rubble. Four people were saved, and they located ten more. We do know that lives were saved because of the equipment MSH A has available. It was designed to use in mine recovery, although this time we used it after an earthquake. We had an inspector at Hannibal, Missouri, who makes you feel real warm about our people. He saved a person's life. This person was nearly elec trocuted. He was drawn into charged equipment, and our inspector grabbed him at the right time, gave him CPR, and saved his life. I had a personal friend with me at a mine rescue contest in Carmichael, Pennsylvania, and his heart stopped beating. Two fellows, who were well trained in mine rescue and first aid work, used CPR, and after three minutes they brought him back. He would have died otherwise. The rescue training that we saw in operation at the Wilbcrg Mine fire disaster in Utah was impressive. As bad as that disaster was, I guess the only comfort was the fact that of more than 20 teams that were there, under the most dangerous of conditions, there wasn't one serious accident during that whole search and rescue process. Also during the recovery of the mine and the location of the bodies, they didn't have a single accident. That convinced me that I would rather have well-trained, safe workers in a completely hostile at mosphere, as opposed to an unsafe worker in the best of atmospheres. A lot of things are happening, and we at MSHA are sensitive to your needs. We want to work with you. Remember about the world's biggest lie: the old cliche, "I'm from Washington, I've come to help you." The second biggest lie is the mine superintendent's, "Boy, am I glad to see you," and the third biggest lie is from the chairman of the safety committee: "I didn't call them, honest I didn't." So I won't usethat old clicheon you. But wedo want to work with you if we can. For instance, we've put together a very good, practical course in ventilation. This came as a result of the Greenwich mine explosion 2Vi years ago. SAFETY CHALLENGE 83 Another example, which you may not realize, is that in mining, especial ly coal mines, one-third of the fatalities happen to people like ourselves. Management people are one-third of the fatalities. We have, for companies that need it, a course in supervisory training, and we arc encouraging people to take advantage of it. We've had a lot of requests for it. We take the sins of the past (the accidents) and put them on 2-by 2-inch slides. We've done this for the years 1983 to the first six months of 1986. We have slides showing each and every fatal accident, not only in the coal mines, but also in metal and non-metal mining. This program is available to you free of charge. It's good stuff for meetings with your blue collar workers, showing in a very simple way how these accidents are happening. So far this year alone, we've had 12,000 requests for this program. Some of you may already have it. If you are interested in it, get in touch with Mike or somebody at the academy in Beck ley. We have been into this REAP (Roof Evaluation Accident Prevention) program on roof fall accidents. This year we've had 26 roof fall fatalities. Last year was the lowest number ever-16 roof fall fatalities, and yet during World War II and after the war in the entire period of the 1940's, each year saw over 600 deaths due to roof falls alone We have reached new low figures, but still we haven't reached zero. We still have a problem there, and we're working on it. A serious problem on which we hope to be of help to you in your own training is related to bins and stockpiles. We had a tragedy in West Virginia early this year. Five people were killed on a stockpile doing something that probably every one of us has done. Since 1980 there have been 43 people killed by being buried alive in mining stockpiles or in other areas. We are put ting together a program that you can use with your people on the dangers that go with bins and stockpiles. It soon will be available for you. Another problem all over the country is inundations involving miners cutting into old mines and encountering black damp and water. We have some information on that in case you are interested. You don't hear much about it, but when you look into the history of inundations, the number of people who arc killed from this cause alone is alarming. The last point I want to make is on substance abuse. Since March of this year we've been coming out pretty strong on that problem. It's a problem in mining. You know they say to imitate is to flatter. We were flattered by the President. In August he came out with his program. So we beat him on that. But it's a real problem. We're getting the word out, and we've got a 33-minutc videotape film that will be available in January. We have a slide program with ten slides showing ten real accidents in mining that have been definitely related to drugs or alcohol. I won't take your time today to go through that, but it's there. If you want to get involved and if you want to do something about it, we will help you with it. These arc the types of things that we are into. It doesn't mean that Mike and his people arc not going to come around and visit with you, and hopeful ly Mike will do it in a firm, but fair and friendly way. But beyond that we 84 ILLINOIS MINING INSTITUTE want to work with you on the problems we see at a national level. We gel some criticism becausewe put a lot into this training, but if you took every in spector, just take MSHA inspectors in coal, and if they don't take vacations, or don't eat lunch, or don't travel, and if they spend all their time at the mines with the workers, all the time that an inspectorcan spend with any worker is 3 minutes per day. That's it. Some people want more and more inspections, and we will be hiring 130 more inspectors by January 30. But if we doubled the work force at MSHA, all that your workers would have would be six minutes with a MSHA person looking over their shoulder. That's it. So you have to ask yourself, what arc those workers doing when they are by themselves or with their foreman and the rest of the crew? That's where self-discipline and training have to be a part of mine health and safety. I firmly endorse that approach. Again, wegetsome criticism because of theinference that bytalking about trainingweare eliminating or minimizing enforcement,and that is not the case. But I'll say, if you have a well-trained work force, you've got something go ing for you. If you ignore training, you're going to have problems. This year in coal mining alone we've had 77 fatal accidents. Last year was the best ever. This year we're not doing quite as well. This year, of the 77 fatalities, two of those happened on the victim's first day of work. One was an 18-year old boy in Pennsylvania. He had never been in a minein his life, having been hired off the street. He was killed the first day. Now that is criminal. That iswrong. This iswhereweneed to put a lot ofthrust into train ing and education. Let me finish by reading you something that I read in the Washington Post. I don't necessarily endorse everything the Washington Post says, but there's a good story here. It goes something like this: There's an old Talmudic story about the disciple who asked the Rabbi, "How docs one become wise?" The Rabbi responds, "One studies and works hard." "But many study and work hard and are not wise." "Then I suppose one studies, works hard, and has ex perience." "Yes, but many study, work hard, and have experience and still are not wise." "But then one needs good judgment." "How does one get good judgment?" "By having bad experiences," was the Rabbi's response. There's a lotof truth inthat. We should benefit from the bad experiences of the past, and recognize and hope that we'll have a better future. That's what it's all about. Mining is a very interesting, rewarding business, and it's very rewarding for me to be able to come here and be with you. Thank you again for having me. Dave Beerbower: Thank you, Dave. I'd like to add one for the list of biggest lie. When Dale Walker was Chairman of the Nominating Committee hecame to meand said, "Wehave nominated you, or would like to nominate you for President of thisorganization." And I said "Well, how much work is involved, Dale." And he said, "Not very much work atall." So I'm going to add that one to the list of lies. It has been a lot of work. We have had some PRESIDENTS 85 problems, but as Buster said, those are opportunities, and I think we've had an excellent meeting here. I think with the help of all of the staff and all of you, it has made this year very memorable for me. I have considered it to be an honor and a pleasure to be your president. And with that, I've teased Mack all weekend, I'm going to give him this 600-pound gavel. So Mack, if you'd come forward, I'd like to present you with the gavel for next year. Mack Shumale: And naturally each year when this takes place, we take the lead out of the gavel and give it back as a souvenir to the man that used it, and I'd like to give you this gavel (figure 6). This brings to an end the ninety- fourth meeting of the Illinois Mining Institute. We'll see you all next year. •w ''^KjI II HpSjPi r****> >, 1 •54 Ftg. 6 — President-elect MackShumale (riRtil) gives souvenir Ravel lo outgoing President Dave Bcerbower.

Lumps of Illinois coal. It's hard to believe that coal powers more than 500 cities and towns in our service area. CIPS is committed to using Illinois coal. And, that's good for all of us. In 1985, CIPS bought almost four million tons of Illinois coal at a cost of over 127 million dollars! In fact, about 33 cents out of each dollar you paid us for electricity went to buy coal. Why should you care if CIPS uses Illinois coal? Because the power of coal goes far beyond making j electricity. Coal has an enormous impact on our economy. It helps support jobs, businesses, schools, even communities! At CIPS, we work hard at supporting Illinois coal and all it means to the people of our state.
