Harris deals on mining land draw scrutiny
The Wall Street Journal reports that Indiana State Sen. James R. Harris, under consideration as Interior Department head for Surface Mining, bought 1480 acres of reclaimed strip mine land from Peabody Coal Co. and Amax Inc. at bargain prices while leading strip mining committees. Purchases included 450 acres in 1978 at under $3 per acre and 1030 acres in 1980 at about $250 per acre, with values far below nearby market rates. The article notes potential public impression of impropriety but Harris disputes any wrongdoing and could become the federal official most influential over mining permitting.
