MINE CLOSED: The mine closed in 1964, but its' presence is still evident by the structures still standing; the mine yard with the old mine office and gob pile, the company store, and the old theatre building. These structures have been renovated into homes and apartments, and the gob pile is currently undergoing reclamation and development, but they will always be testimony to our coal mining heritage. With coal mining comes waste in the form of slate dumps / gob piles. There is much interest in the final outcome of the reclamation and development of the approximately 50 acre site in Mather.
