[TheForge] Coal supplys

[David E. Smucker]

Bob,  I think the the # 3 refers to the "seam" and not the mine number.  The 
Pocahontas formation covers a very large area and many mines work the 
various seams of this formation.  (I think I have this right or at least 
close.)

The story about "a mine" being sold and that mines supply no longer on the 
USA market I believe to be correct -- as the Folk School has the same issue. 
Paul Garrett is working on solving this problem for the Folk School and I 
will find out what he knows about a new supply of quality blacksmithing 
coal.
