About 600 hpmes will be abandoned.” They are fine little homes, top, standing out beautifully in a carefully planned landscaping system. The mine operators shut down because they could not compete with non-union mines in W. Virginia, they said. And the little Valley ot Lost Cities takes its last victim.
