Gulf Coal Deal Creates Instant Millionaires From TVA Land Sale
Acres averaging 720 feet deep with 3 to 4 percent sulfur and 11 500 Btu are part of the newly acquired property. Gulf plans no immediate mining and will start production when marketing conditions warrant. Pittsburgh and Midway Coal Co. is Gulf’s mining firm. TVA sale made millionaires of some large landholders, though individual holdings in the Cave association are smaller, with different family members owning sizeable blocs. Some families may become instant millionaires.
