Crowd rallies for Spruce mine

Hundreds of miners and coal industry supporters turned out Tuesday evening to speak against a high-stakes federal decision that could possibly end mining at one of the largest mountaintop sites permitted in West Virginia, the Spruce No. 1 mine in Logan County.

Some, including Jennings Webb of Richlands, Va., even traveled across state lines to show their support.

Webb, along with Juanita Ball, Esther Russell and Alford Russell made the trip to Charleston. "We came to West Virginia to back up our neighbors in coal," Webb said.
