Mine Slag Takes On a New Value
A large pile of mine refuse at the Dark Hollow Mine near Pomeroy gains value as road fill for a planned state highway project. After being burned into slag, the material proved easier to handle than earth, prompting bids from multiple contractors and a $5,000 sale to Ebersbach Construction Company. Officials watch whether the project goes to this bidder or another, shaping the pile’s fate.
